Inspire individual, team and organizational development with access to the world's best business and personal growth authors. Each Author365 event is an opportunity for your employees to gain new insights and then take their learning further with our supporting resources.

World Class Authors - Live

Incorporate live events from bestselling business and personal growth authors into your programs. The opportunity to hear live from a world class expert is hard to match which makes it more engaging and impactful to team members than other learning opportunities. We also make it easy to take the program further for specific learning needs with our supporting resources.

Learning Toolkits

We provide a toolkit of resources for each talk to make it easy to extend a one hour author talk event into a full learning program. Toolkits are customized for each author event and can include pre-event questions, book discussion guides, participant workbooks, group activity guides and 30 day skill plans. Talks also include facilitator resources to support leadership development programming.

Custom Learning Pathways

We support leadership development programs to create customized learning journeys for employees to develop essential skills. For example, a manager development program might string together an author event on coaching and another on communications styles with accompanying resources in between. Authors365 has pre-made pathways and can also support customized resources.

Discussion Leader Training

Author365 events can be used as a kickoff or concluding event for book club programs and book discussions. In addition to discussion guides, we provide an on-demand online course and other resources for team members to learn how to be effective book discussion leaders. This helps extend your team and empowers employees to develop their facilitation skills.

Easy and Impactful Implementation

Easy and Impactful Implementation

We know how busy you are which is why we make our program easy to implement. In addition to managing all the logistics and hosting each author event, we support you to tailor the program to reach your goals. Authors365 can be fully plug and play and require almost no staff time or we can work with you to tailor the program for your specific needs.

FEATURES

How It Works

Each month, Authors365 will livestream three virtual events with bestselling authors. The events will be an hour long and include the author sharing key ideas from their book(s) and time for questions. Employees from all Authors365 members will be able to tune into each talk to hear live from the thought leader. Recordings will be available for staff to watch later if they can't watch live.

Engaging Virtual Events

Live events with authors stream virtually so staff can access them anywhere in the world. Participants can submit & upvote questions, participate in polls and join the live chat.

Zero Administration Time

We know how busy HR and L&D staff are. We facilitate every author talk, email staff details of upcoming events and handle all user support. This is as close to plug and play as it gets.

Event Learning Objectives

Each event includes a detailed description and learning objectives so staff know which author talks will be most valuable for them and teams can choose events to watch together.

Skill Building Resources

We provide a number of resources for each talk to help take the learning beyond that day's event including group discussion guides, skill building workbooks and additional resources.

Dedicated Support

Your dedicated customer success manager will support you and other organizational leaders to meet your goals and get the most value out of Authors365.

Organizational Branding

Your customized portal will include your organization's branding so events will feel more customized to your staff and teams.

Diversity of Speakers

We're committed to sharing a diversity of ideas and backgrounds. One way we do this is by ensuring that at least half of our speakers are women and/or people of color.

Detailed Analytics

Our platform includes detailed analytics about who has viewed each event, participant feedback and various roll up dashboards to make reporting on program success a breeze.
