Every one of us can equip another to be their best self. Here is what is inspiring me.

Rosie's Must-Reads

Fierce Self-Compassion, Kristen Neff, Ph.D.

I’m a huge fan of Kristen Neff’s work on self-compassion. In her latest book, geared towards women, she shows how we can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in multiple areas of our life without losing our authenticity, strength or burning out.

Powered By Me, Neha Sangwan, MD

Dr. Neha provides tangible, powerful tools that help us rethink, heal and prevent burnout. The key is paying attention to whether we’re operating from a net gain or net drain of energy.

Deliberate Calm, Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron De Smet & Michiel Kruyt

If we’re going to navigate this VUCA world, we have to know the critical difference between being in the Adaptive vs. the Familiar Zone. I love how this book reframes what it takes to be effective in our new normal of disruption!

Choose Your Story, Change Your Life, Kindra Hall

This book reminds us that we are hardwired to tell ourselves stories (and most are self-limiting and negative). Their job is to protect us. Learn how to identify them and rewrite them so you can craft a new and better future.

Decoding Greatness, Ron Friedman

I love the simplicity and practicality of this book. It has lessons we all can apply to help us be successful and maximize our impact.

Atlas of the Heart, Brené Brown

This book is a GAME-CHANGER! It gives us adequate language to process and move through our emotions and experiences and foster meaningful connection.

Permission to Feel, Mark Brackett

This book provides a key blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being.

Think Again, Adam Grant

If we’re going to be effective, we must learn to rethink – questioning our opinions and opening other people’s minds. This book is mind-blowing and a must-read!

Boundary Boss, Terri Cole

So many people struggle with setting boundaries. Yet, without healthy boundaries, we can’t live an authentic and fulfilled life. This book has been transformative for so many of my clients.

Loving What Is, Byron Katie

I’m all about shifting self-limiting narrative, so I love this work! This book gives 4 powerful questions you can apply in the moment to reframe and see things in a new light.

These are some professional heroes who have inspired me and who I've been fortunate enough to meet...and honored to have become friends with a few of them.
