Thread Team Q1 Book Recommendations

Here are our team's top picks from their quarter one reading:

 
The Five Second Rule by Mel Robbins

“I've been a fan of Mel Robbins on social media for many years, but just read her first book. What I love so much about it is that it gives us powerful tools, backed by science to ‘wake up to the power of you and use it to shake up your life’. Mel shares her personal story, with struggles that are so relatable to many of us, which is so vulnerable. She also spends a good amount of energy discussing courage and the role that it plays in our lives. Courage is one of my core values so this really hit a deep place for me!” - Audra


When Everyone Leads: How the Toughest Challenges Get Seen & Solved by Ed O'Malley and Julia Fabris McBride

“When reading When Everyone Leads, there were many aspects that really provoked some internal reflection for me.  The one component that I feel can be most impactful for individuals (and is something we're working on as a team) is Seeing The Gap.  This requires you to think about the future (of your team, your organization, your mission, etc.) and identify what concerns you the most.  Then, it has you identify what your greatest aspirations are (of your team, organization, mission, etc.).  Identifying The Gap can help you see where your team or organization needs leadership the most!”  - Kendra


The One Thing by Gary W. Keller and Jay Papasan

“As an executor and ambitious achiever (sometimes to a fault), I appreciate how this book focuses on the importance of pursuing one goal at a time. I’m learning the effectiveness of single-tasking over multitasking, as well as identifying the One Thing that encapsulates my personal strengths and is a gift to the world.” - Kristen
