Last Child In the Woods
Richard Louv
"In his groundbreaking work about the staggering divide between children and the outdoors, journalist and child advocate Richard Louv directly links the absence of nature in the lives of today's wired generatoin to some of the most disturbing childhood trends: the rise in obesity, attention disorders, and depression. This is the first book to bring together a body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional helath of children and adults. More than just raising an alarm, Louv offers practical solutions to heal the broken bond." - Last Child in the Woods, 2008

This Is Day One
Drew Dudley
"If you're intimidated by the mystique surrounding leadership, this book is for you. Dudley simplifies leadership without denying its complexity, demonstrating that leadership in all its forms begins at the same clear and accessible place for everyone: what he calls "Day One."
Day One is when you discover, define, and start to consistently deliver on your foundational leadership values. Living that day over and over is what creates leaders, and Dudley provides the key tools necessary to craft and commit to your own personal Day One." - Good Reads, 2019
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND THOUGHTS - This is Day One
" I feel it is important to just rethink what leadership is. It truly isn't what we have been told it is when we were in school. It is a great way to possibly reduce the stress you are feeling when in the workplace. " - Educator
" Every educator is a leader in some capacity and it's important we break down the view of what a "leader" is or how they are seen in our society. I would love to see some more educators gain more confidence in themselves and their skills to showcase their inner lead more often." - Educator

"Finally: an engaging, evidence-based book about how to battle biases, champion diversity and inclusion, and advocate for those who lack power and privilege. Dolly Chugh makes a convincing case that being an ally isn’t about being a good person—it’s about constantly striving to be a better person."
- Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B (with Sheryl Sandberg)

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND THOUGHTS - The Person YOU Mean to Be
" How important people’s stories and perspectives are. That there are people from different cultures and life experiences that may not be the same as mine. Understanding each other and having the willingness to learn about other cultures is important in our growth as humans. After reading this book I’m taking away that it’s important not to strive to be a good person, but to take each day striving to be a good-ish person. Someone who walks through life with a growth mentality. " - Educator
The Gifts of Imperfection
The Gifts of Imperfection
Brene Brown
In The Gifts of Imperfection, Brené Brown, a leading expert on shame, authenticity, and belonging, shares ten guideposts on the power of Wholehearted living - a way of engaging with the world from a place of worthiness. In her ten guideposts, Brown engages our minds, hearts, and spirits as she explores how we can cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, "No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough," and to go to bed at night thinking, "Yes, I am sometimes afraid, but I am also brave. And, yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable, but that doesn't change the truth that I am worthy of love and belonging." - Book Outlet, 2010
Dare to Lead
Dare to Lead
Brene Brown
"In her #1 NYT bestsellers, Brené Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.
Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead." - Good Reads, 2018
