12 Life Changing Book Suggestions to Help You Rock 2020 - 099

Jan 02, 2020

I’ve decided to curate 12 book suggestions from some of my most popular guest episodes. My intention is to give you some new ideas and inspiration to help you rock this coming year!


If you’re anything like me, the New Year brings an opportunity for a fresh start. It's an opportunity to look back at the past 12 months of achievement, learning and growth and to consider what you want for the coming year. I’ve set some pretty big goals for the next 12 months and I know that these will be challenging. That's because I will have to open up my mind, be coachable and invest in my growth to achieve what I’ve set out to do.


Reading or listening to books will play a big part of my growth as it always has done, and that’s why I absolutely love hearing from my guests about the books that they’ve read that have created transformation in their life. Many of those books I’ve gone on to read myself and they have opened up new possibilities for me. So in this episode I thought I'd put a recommendation for each of the next 12 months together for you.
