What We're Reading

Radical Humility: Be a Badass Leader and a Good Human

Urs Koenig

 

When veteran executive coach, professor, and ultraendurance champion Urs Koenig signed up to be a NATO peacekeeping commander and United Nations peacekeeper in his fifties, he thought he knew a thing or two about leadership.

 

What he discovered was a new way of thinking that replaces the top-down, "heroic" leadership of the past with a more human-centered approach that views humility as a strength and key to achieving goals in today's complex world.

 

The deeply researched Radical Humility framework centers on making five Shifts that will help you elevate your leadership from Heroic (THEN) to Humble (NOW).

Drive with Purpose: Move Your Career from Success to Significance

Bruce Waller

 

Often, when we think about what makes a career significant, we imagine monumental roles—like a US President, an astronaut, a surgeon, or a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. But true significance isn't confined to these towering heights. Significance lies in the small actions that swell into great impacts. It's woven through the fabric of our everyday lives. This book delves into the transformative journey from pursuing traditional career success to seeking deeper significance in one’s professional life. Learn more about practical strategies for developing a purpose-driven mindset, reassessing your career path, and fostering authentic relationships through intentional networking and leadership. This book will inspire you to pursue a career path of significance.

You’re Absolutely Worth It

Velera Wilson

 

In her book, You’re Absolutely Worth It: Release Self-Doubt, Embrace Confidence, and Own Your Yes, Velera Wilson gives readers the steps and fuel to address the counter-productive internal chatter and stop second-guessing themselves, so they can boldly ask for, and go after, what they really want in their career, business, and everyday life.

Full of deeply personal stories and blatant honesty, You’re Absolutely Worth It offers inspiration and practical advice for anyone who’s ever struggled to believe they are good enough for their dreams and goals because of how they see themselves, where they've come from, or what they've experienced.

This book is a loud call to every person to believe in their voice, value, and gifts – giving actionable insights on how to do it without reservation.
