I listened to Lean In, and I really loved it. (here are my thoughts from when I listened to this - wow, it was in 2015! - I enjoyed listening to this book. I appreciate Sheryl being so candid in sharing ... It really is okay to cry. I only caution readers to remember, it's okay to support men in the workplace (and at home too). Many of the things Sheryl attributed to women, guilt about our choices, feeling like we let our children down, not feeling we are doing well enough at work, often are also male feelings. I look forward to the day when we don't say female CEO, but just expect there are women CEOs (and everywhere else too). Women really can do it.)

This list of reading for women leaders appeared in one of my social media feeds today. Wondering if any of you have read any of these, what you got from it, or where to start with the list? I'd love to hear your thoughts. These lists can be overwhelming sometimes, especially for a non-bookworm like me.

Any other recommendations as we all compile/finalize our summer reading. First on my list is "The 5 Second Rule" by Mel Robbins, I heard her speak at an event and was really taken by the simple approach.
I look forward to hearing your recommendations for the group.
Thanks
George
