Leaders are Readers

Leaders are Readers

I am a voracious reader, and I tend to tap into a broad range of books. Everything from fiction to non-fiction, business to science, art/architecture to nature, and on and on.?

Sometimes I read a book cover to cover, sometimes I skim for the highlights, and often I listen to them on?Audible?to take in what I can through soundbites. I have come to see that the books I have read have had a significant impact on my life. They have opened new ways of thinking, new ways of learning, and often, books have opened up a dialogue with people who have changed my life.

Every time someone comes on my podcast,?The Virtual Campfire, I ask them what are one or two books that have had a significant impact on their lives. I am always amazed at what comes up. What I find most interesting is not necessarily the books themselves, but what they take away from them.?

Sometimes books are like a teacher that we meet at just the right time in our journey to open up a new pathway. If you are interested in checking out some of my favorites (just the tip of the iceberg), check out my?Leaders Are Readers?book list:?https://www.inspiredpurposecoach.com/leadersarereaders

Check out some recent episode of the Virtual Campfire Podcast:

Embracing limitless possibility also means embracing failures. Here to shed light on how you can become limitless and live your best life is?Laura Gassner Otting. In this episode, she shares insights from her latest book, Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life. Listen in here.

For the founder of?THREAD,?Lane Gardner, music was her medium so she became a songwriter. She heals people's trauma with her music. That is her creative voice that gives her the ability to connect with people. Listen in here.

Success doesn’t just mean hard work. To truly succeed you need a great mindset and the skills for success.?Listen in as I talk with Mark Herschberg, author, speaker and fractional CTO here.
