Each team member will recommend a book that all participants will discuss during a required meeting or retreat.

Ideas to help with writing a memo recommending any movie are offered. Argue persuasively that this book or movie will be helpful to teach program participants about communication techniques and/or strategies. Otherwise you might find yourself discussing a book or movie that puts you to sleep.
