| Books have played a huge role in my own personal and professional growth over the years, and I continue to read at least two books every month to keep exposing myself to new ideas and inspiring material. |

Currently Reading:
Here are some of my old favorites:
Art Of Possibility
-Benjamin and Rosamund Zander
Special thanks to my friend Rich Anderson in Calgary who introduced me to this book, which I would classify as my #1 favorite non-fiction book of all time…
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
-Barack Obama
After seeing Barack Obama interviewed on Oprah, I was so impressed that I went the same day to pick up his book and read the whole thing cover-to-cover over the holidays. An inspired read indeed, and one that provides hope for politics in the future!
Eat Pray Love
-Elizabeth Gilbert
Every woman should read this book! Hysterically funny, you will laugh OUT LOUD at some of the anecdotes, as the inner thoughts/dreams/fears she shares are common to us all. Brilliant. Loved it.
The Magic of Believing
-Claude M. Bristol
Special thanks to my friend and mentor, David Chalk, who introduced me to this book.
Reflections of a Peacemaker: A Portrait Through Heartsongs
-Mattie Stepanek
Himself a ‘poet and peacemaker,’ little Mattie Stepanek left the world too soon in June 2004 at the age of thirteen, dying of complications from a rare form of muscular dystrophy. His spirit and magic touched us all, leaving footprints on our hearts to remember.
Invitation
-Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Special thanks to my friend, Jason Guille, who brought this book to my attention after I had read the original poem upon which it is based.
How Much Joy Can You Stand?
-Suzanne Falter-Barns
Special thanks to my Mom who gave me this book on my 32nd birthday. A FANTASTIC read, especially for people creating their dreams & vision, looking to get fired up!
You can if you believe you can
-Peter Legge
A book written by one of my greatest role models and mentors, Peter Legge, who was the person who first introduced me to the world of professional speaking.
Spellbinder's Gift
-Og Mandino Special thanks to one of my best friends, Richard Lee, who gave me this book many years ago. It still holds a special place in my heart and in my library.
