November 2024 Book List

This year is flying to an end…SO MUCH has been happening in the world. This quote by Adam Grant (one of my favourite authors) ” Disappointment comes from knowing things could be better. Gratitude flows from knowing things could be worse. We don’t control events, but we do choose our outlook. Where we focus shapes how we feel. For most people in most places, this is the best time in history to be alive.”

My advice, read and seek out a variety of perspectives, listen more than you talk and take an interest in people. If you want to make connections, be mindful, be in the room and ask lots of questions.
