Title: Positive Influence: Leadership in a Time of Crisis
Published: 2023
How this book is helping:
This book was written smack in the middle of a world crisis of epic proportions — the COVID-19 health crisis. The crisis tested the skills of some of the best leaders in those industries most impacted by the crisis — healthcare, hospitality, real estate, education, transportation, and many others. Our in-depth interviews with CEOs and other senior leaders in these businesses revealed the biggest challenges they faced and how they dealt with them, what positive outcomes they were able to create under highly stressful conditions, what mistakes and miscalculations they made, and what leadership lessons were learned during this time. It was these leadership lessons that they have carried forward and will make them more successful leaders in the future.

Title: Burn Ladders. Build Bridges. Pursuing Work with Meaning + Purpose
Published: 2022
How this book is helping:
The main takeaway: There is only one person responsible for your career development. You.
"Burn Ladders. Build Bridges." tears up any idea of a playbook and helps individuals explore ways to create impact and find meaning in their work—all while enjoying the journey. This book lights a spark within readers to stop waiting and take control of their career no matter what stage they’re in—college-to-career or an experienced professional. It especially resonates with women and other marginalized professionals seeking support and leadership development.
This book provides a balance of theory & practicality. It emphasizes skill development to build trust, expertise, and credibility, while also encouraging reflections to more deeply discover oneself (connecting head & heart). All of which, lead to an understanding that one’s measure of success in life is not “what you do for a living”—rather, it’s about who you are with the people around you that creates opportunities, meaning, and purpose.

Title: Building the Business of You: A System to Align Passion and Growth Potential Through Your Own Career Mashup
Published: 2021
How this book is helping:
In Building the Business of You, I share future of work trends so professionals, entrepreneurs, freelancers, founders, and side hustlers can "skate to where the puck will be" and form their own career mashup.
The career mashup is my term for the career of the future (and increasingly the present) in which workers merge their skills, interests, passions, values, hobbies, opportunities, relationships, education, network, identity, and even multiple jobs and gigs. People no longer want to conform to one rigid and structured path. They want to reflect their multidimensional selves so they can realize their full potential.
And in this new, fluid and constantly changing world of work, the dream job is no longer something you get. It's something you create. In Building the Business of You, I provide professionals with a practical system and tools so they can create theirs.
