    Hi Camille ,

    I'm really enjoying Ann Hiatt's 'Bet on Yourself'.

    For leadership, I like anything by Simon Senek.

    For personal development, Brene Brown, for sure.

    We started a diversity and inclusion book club recently in our department. The first book speaks of indigenous wisdom - Braiding Sweetgrass. Yes, this one is on audio too. I just started this - it's absolutely beautiful.

    Thanks for the post - I look forward to hearing from others, too.

    Vanessa

    Hello,

    Thanks for sharing! AAP Atlantic is hosting a virtual podcast event this evening. We are having an intimate round table that has a book club feel for the first half, then the second part will have recommendations. It's at 7:30 pm AST. 

    It's not too late to register if you'd like to jump on and listen in or even participate:
    eventbrite.ca/e/podcast-club-event-tickets-290763380097
    If you do jump on, it's ok if you didn't get to listen to the recommended episode (in the above link) prior. 

    Because it is so soon, I'd be more than happy to share the recommendations that come out of the discussion afterward! 

    Kind regards,
    Caitlyn
