I love to read. I have friends who wonder how I ever have time to read, working and being the parent of small children. But like anything else in life, if I want to do something I have to make time for it.
This month I’m making time for Rosa Say’s love affair with books. It’s the total win-win for readers: if I can’t get to the books themselves, I’m going to get great reviews and suggestions to fill out my "to-read" list. I’m contributing a piece, and can’t wait for the other recommendations that will come out this Friday.
Not that I really need more books to read. I had a hard time enough time choosing which book I wanted to dive into for Rosa’s book party: the ones I list here on my blog’s side bar, all important ones to me; or one of the ones on my book shelf that I really want to read but haven’t dived into yet. It’s a great unfinished task: there will always be more books to read than I can get to.
Come back Wednesday to check out my thoughts on Meg Wheatley’s Finding Our Way: Leadership for an Uncertain Time. I’ve wanted to read her work for a long time, and this book of essays has lit some new fires for me. I’m percolating on it now, and look forward to a great dialog with you!

How do books contribute to your making a difference?
What books have made a difference to you?
Before specializing as a professional coach in 2004, I spent more than a decade in leadership, management and program development for state and local government and non-profit organizations. Now I get to help leaders and teams have more clarity and ability to stand up for what's important in their work and in their organizations. Working with me, leaders and teams find more meaning and purpose, feel happier and more confident, navigate change and conflict, and work together better.
