What to Read Over the Holidays
By Paige Cohen, Senior Editor
Here we are in the final week of 2023. This year, like the last one, has been filled with highs and lows. Whether you’re surrounded by family and friends, using this time for rest and reflection, or just trying to make it through the holiday season, we’re grateful that you’re taking the time to be here today, reading this newsletter, and participating in our community.
On behalf of the entire Ascend team, I want to thank you for supporting us on our mission of making work (and the world) a more compassionate, thoughtful, and inclusive space. To show our gratitude, I’ve asked our team to put together a few things that they’ve found especially meaningful, inspiring, or useful in 2023. We hope you find them just as helpful as you head into 2024:
