We all know summer is a great time to do a little reading. Here are some picks by the crew at We’ve Got This to motivate and inspire.
Clare’s Pick
Elevate by Joe Deitch See it on Amazon
You can read some, all or parts of the book in no particular order. The book rings true to many of our own conversations. It’s great to be reminded about being open to new ideas and ways of thinking. Take some time to think about the life you wish to lead as well as how that will look when you return to work.
Susan’s Pick
Daring Greatly by Bené Brown See it on Amazon
Being a returner is all about having the courage to be vulnerable. If
you find yourself struggling with doubt, this book gives you a path forward. In fact, any of Bené Brown’s books are enlightening and valuable to a returner.
Linda’s Pick
How to Work a Room by Susan Roane See it on Amazon
This is an oldie but a goodie. I find it still so relevant after all these years. If you’re one of the 93% who identify as shy, this is a must-read to help you move beyond “Hello.” Roane shares hundreds of anecdotes, examples, and insights on how to break the ice, establish rapport, build conversations, and make connections that count.
Kim’s Pick
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
I first read this book in high school and the principles still resonate today. A reminder to be approachable, keep conversations focused on others vs self, and achieve your goals through listening and redirecting the conversation through questions. This classic is applicable for every day interactions and for those immersed in a new job search.
Kristin’s Pick
The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt See it on Amazon
It is a book I was assigned to read in business school at some point. I assumed it was a story about operations management. I was not thrilled to start it. It ended up being a good story, a page turner that also had great business teaching. I have read it at least 5x since.
Happy reading and enjoy the summer!
