Books That Spark Clarity and Conversation
These are the books I have been listening to while cleaning the barn. I also read them to spark ideas for my team workshops. Some fuel quiet reflection. Others challenge how I think about leadership, communication, and human behavior. All of them help shape my work—and maybe they will inspire something in you, too.
