My 2019 Reading List
Reading has always been a critical part of my personal and professional development regimen. It has consistently provided me with ideas, tools, and resources to tackle projects and opportunities to grow in ways that I might not have discovered on my own. Lately, I have found myself trading book recommendations more often with colleagues and other professionals resulting in the discovery of some excellent books that were not on my radar.
As a show of gratitude for the knowledge others have shared with me and in the spirit of helping others, I thought it would be a good idea to start sharing my reading list with all of the wonderful people that make up my broader network. Below you will find a list of the books I am currently reading, a few of the books that I have on deck, and the titles that I have already completed this year (Amazon links included).
I look forward to seeing any book recommendations that you would like to share in the comments. Let’s develop together! Enjoy.
