    Zoo Lovers Day- Sailing with Noah by Jeffery Bonner

    For Zoo Lovers Day, I delve into a special memoir from St. Louis Zoo's CEO and President, Jeffery Bonner, PhD. I loved the stories Jeff shares about working in a zoo, the conservation projects, the animals, and how zoos help save species. I hope you enjoy the tidbits as much as I did. Mentioned in this Zoo-notable: Flight of the Hummingbird

    You're Not Listening by Kate Murphy Part 2

    Want to improve your communication skills, make a stronger impact on the lives of the people around you, and develop empathy and understanding of others' perspectives? The best skill you can develop to achieve all that is listening. You're Not Listening by Kate Murphy is one of the most influential books I read in 2024, now I'm revisiting it to share the big ideas that changed the way I think and interact with others. In fact, it's so relevant and powerful, I couldn't fit it into one episode, so we're breaking it into 2 parts. This week we discuss Shifting vs. Supporting Responses, Bragging Ain't All That, and Listening to Yourself. Grab a copy of the book yourself or find a copy at your local library.

    The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy

    In this remarkable story, we get all the warm fuzzy feelings about friendship, kindness, and finding home. A short and sweet episode for a short and sweet book. I highly recommend reading it, but also watching the short animated film on AppleTV. Grab your copy here.

    Leadership and Self-Deception

    Our first required reading for the leadership development course I'm taking is a doozie-- Leadership and Self-Deception by the Arbinger Institute. I love the stories within the story, and the insight I received, eye-opening and empowering ideas that I can't wait to share with you, mostly to remind ME about keeping an outward mindset. Want more? Check out Leadership and Self-Deception onBookshop and buy local, or downloadLibby and start listening to amazing books.
