BOOK REVIEW: The Fearless Organisation, Amy Edmondson
This book has had global acclaim and psychological safety is now discussed in every corner of the globe, every day in part due to Amy Edmondson. But in reading it, I feel like I’ve watched the film which as ever, is never as good as the book! It’s a really good mix of...

BOOK REVIEW: Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
This book is both amazing and exhausting. I read it whilst lying on a sun lounger next to a pool when I was on holiday and I still felt like I needed a lie down. The concepts keep coming. Page after page there's a new insight, a new definition, and a new model to get...
BOOK REVIEW: I Have the Watch by Jon S Rennie
This book is written from experience. You can really sense that from the examples shared and the language used to share them. It is a collection of curated articles written over a five year span. Jon Rennie makes this clear at the beginning of the book - which is...

BOOK REVIEW: Kinder Conversations by Tim Keogh
This is definitely not the book I expected it to be. Having read a few books over the last year I have become accustomed to business books being set out more like a story with a journey taking you from start, to middle, to the end. But this book isn’t like that. It’s...
