Books For Your Reading List


Happy Thursday,

Sometimes, timing is everything. I am excited to share that my latest book, Elevate Your Team, is less than a month away! This book, which launches March 7, takes the same capacity building framework from Elevate and shares a detailed playbook for how to build capacity in an organization. Whether you’re an organizational leader, a manager or just an aspiring leader, this book has all the strategies and tactics you need to make a big impact in your career.

As part of the launch, I’m excited to offer bonuses for both individuals and teams:

Launch Week Bonuses for EYT

If you buy Elevate Your Team in paperback during launch week, you’ll get two great rewards:

  • An invitation to a free Virtual Keynote speech about the content in the book (and access to the recording), with Q&A to follow
  • Entry into a raffle to win one of two 30-minute coaching calls with me.

To get a reminder about these bonuses when the book launches, as well as a free excerpt of the book, sign up for our interest list.

Speaking Packages for EYT

As part of the book launch, I am also offering a limited number of speaking packages before launch to companies or event organizers who place a bulk order for the book. Just last week, I had the opportunity to speak to Globalization Partners’ executive team in Miami about how to apply the lessons from EYT to their work, with great feedback—thank you to the whole GP team!

What I’m Reading

My own book is far from the only one I’m recommending in early 2023. Here are some other new books that will help you build capacity.

The Second In Command by Cameron Herold: – Cameron, who joined me on the Elevate Podcast, is THE expert on hiring and empowering a great second-in-command. Hiring the right COO is the most important decision a founder can make—this is the guidebook to getting that right.

Come Up For Air by Nick Sonnenberg: If you haven’t noticed, this is the year where every organization is looking to do more with less. This is the practical guide to going from “drowning in work” to freeing up hours per week at work. Nick, another recent Elevate guest, is a world-class expert on operational excellence, and this book shares the best tactics and strategies he knows.

The Anxious Achiever by Morra Aarons-Mele: In her upcoming book, done great work removing the stigma of anxiety—especially for high performers—and shares how to turn this anxiety into an asset that will help you reach your full potential.
