Coaches’ Favorite Books
Here are a few of the favorites from the list:
Coach Stephanie Brackett recommends Fix This Next by Michael Michalowicz
Fix this Next – easy step-by-step system on how to figure out where the biggest problem in your business is. Mike breaks it down so you aren’t chasing everything, and helps you focus on exactly what to tackle in your business and in what order.
Coach Elizabeth Gilbert recommends Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
Dare to Lead is my favorite on the list. I love it because the author takes a different approach to leadership in her discussions about the purpose of vulnerability and how having tough conversations with our teams is the key to building a psychologically safe workplace.
Coach Amanda Purnell recommends 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell
Coach Hannah Perkey recommends Rocket Fuel by Gino Wickman
I feel like this is a must-read in the operations/rainmaker relationship. It gives you insight into the potential role we can play in an organization and helps us understand the importance of the two positions as they stand.
Thank you also to the Speakers & Panelists who shared their favorites titles with us so we could share with attendees: Emily Smith, Linzee Ciprani, Cindy Small, Abby Lee, Scott Shuman, Autumn Bergendahl, Amity Krause & Anna Krueger!
