We’re wrapping up our summer mini book club. In this episode I’m talking about key insights from a new book by Jim Detert - Choosing Courage. As the world’s foremost expert on workplace courage, he leverages more than 20 years of research and work in this area to provide an inspirational, practical, and research-based guide for standing up and speaking out skillfully at work. I reflect on some key aspects of the book that I see relevant for so many, connect the dots to other key aspects of leveraging courage to be a daring leader, and some things you can think about to start showing up more courageously in your own life. I hope you gain some useful insights from this episode and would love to hear your thoughts as you read the book yourself.

We’re continuing with our summer format plot twist with a mini book club. In this episode I’m talking about key insights from the latest book from Adam Grant - Think Again. As someone who thrives off challenging limited thinking in myself and others, I was geeking out about this book. Adam examines the critical art of rethinking - learning to question your opinions and open other people’s minds. He describes how critical it is that we build our capability to get out of our comfort zones to rethink and unlearn and how it can position us for excellence and work and wisdom in life. I see how important this is every day with my clients, myself and as I observe the world around me. I hope you gain some useful insights from this episode and would love to hear your thoughts as you read the book yourself.

For the summer, we’re shifting gears from our regular format to do a mini book club. In this episode I’m talking about key insights from a fabulous new book that just came out this year - Boundary Boss by Terri Cole. This topic is so relevant and important for many of the clients I serve and coach - and for me personally. Terri teaches from a simple but pivotal premise: without healthy boundaries, you can’t live an authentic and fulfilled life. And this is especially true today for women - although I see it in men (and men can benefit from this book as well). I reflect on some key aspects of the book that I see as universal for so many human beings, why it matters and things to think about. I hope you gain some useful insights from this episode and would love to hear your thoughts as you read the book yourself.
