We all have them at the office or at home. A book shelf. What are you currently reading? Are there any great books that you would recommend to the chapter?

I have just started Leadership: Theory and Practice, and Cases in Leadership for one of the classes I am taking this semester. I'll report back in a few months with a review of these.

I am looking forward to discussing what you are reading!

I just finished reading Stories that Stick by Kindra Hall. 

Some takeaways from it were

• The key to storytelling is to reveal details about yourself that the audience can relate to. 
• The best stories are designed and delivered to put the audience in your shoes
• Focus on the point you want to make before you choose a story
• Reference a specific moment "the first time I...", "it was a snowy December day..."
• Realize your missteps and paint a picture of the realization
• Lean on the emotions of the events
• To help get a story out of someone focus on a noun. The more specific the better.

Since I read it I've been more aware of storytelling elements in the books I've been reading and conversations I've been having. It was a great read and I highly recommend it.
