A Practical Guide For Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team. With David Mead and Peter Docker This book had been recommended to me by a number of people and is all about how you figure out your WHY. In other words, WHY do you do what you do?

Becoming by Michelle Obama
From the South Side of Chicago to the Whitehouse. What an amazing journey. What I loved about this book was the insight into how Michelle Obama thinks and her passions. Along with her thoughts and passions, you also get a taste of President Obama's thoughts and passions. Both of these people are passionate about helping under-served populations get a leg up. Her South Side upbringing was fairly typical middle class and a blue collar working class family. Nothing special and also not … [Read more...]
