"More like a coaching session!"
I find your book club is so inclusive. It’s more like a coaching session which is so valuable.
"Learning more than what I expected!"
I have participated in a number of book clubs led by Laura. Mostly for professional development. Laura leads each book with compassion and empathy at the forefront, whether we were talking about conflict resolution, marketing or time management. Laura always has the ability to take a text and ensure the information is relevant to todays context by ensuring the content is viewed through and inclusive lens. One of the last bookclubs I participated in, the book was written from a point of privilege, Laura was able to guide the group to look through that and focus on how the “nugget” of knowledge could be applied and used in our current context. I have loved every conversation that I have had in each book club and have walked away learning more than what I expected!
"We were able to develop such growth!"
I have been blessed to have Laura Zielke as a small group leader. In the 6+ years of her leading our group, we were able to develop such growth, especially doing group studies such as “The Dream Giver” by Bruce Wilkinson and “Living Your Strengths” by Donald Clifton learning about our Top 5 Strengths (StrengthsFinder renamed CliftonStrengths). We not only learned about our own strengths but also those of others in the group and how we could best use our strengths in service to helping others to get to their Big Dreams.
"The ideal book club facilitator!"
When I think of the ideal book club facilitator, I think of Laura. She is prepared, welcoming, humble, genuinely interested in learning and sharing her knowledge, and works every time to make the discussion valuable for all members.
"I highly recommend Laura!"
Laura is caring and compassionate and contributes positively to every event she participates in. Her dedication to diversity and inclusion has been instrumental in her successfully running countless book clubs. Her understanding and caring attitude have been exemplary. Her intelligence and knowledge, both inside and outside the workplace, have been inspiring, and her work on the Book club is genuinely commendable. I highly recommend Laura.

At the Book Miners Club, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and safe environment for all members, especially for LGBTQ+ and historically marginalized people. We deeply respect the lived experiences and diverse perspectives each individual brings to our discussions. We understand our journey involves exploring different viewpoints and ideas, valuing the richness that comes from embracing these differences. It is important to us everyone feels heard, respected, and valued, even when opinions may differ. We celebrate diversity and encourage open dialogue, free from judgment or expectation of agreement. Together, we create a space where authenticity, understanding, and personal growth thrive. This is a core value of BMC.
