<\/strong>2022 Strategic Reading Group<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“See Changes Clearly”<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gutenberg editor uses blocks to create all types of content, replacing half. We started the BEST Strategic Reading Group with an amazing book called\u00a0See Change Clearly<\/em>\u00a0written by Jacob Green, a graduate of\u00a0Coastline\u2019s ABI Program<\/a>. Jacob shares lessons learned from his brain injury and his time in the ABI Program and how he generalizes those lessons to help others in life and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
