What Happened to Valuable Reading Time??

Today I cleaned out my desk drawers at work and I found these leadership books. Over the last 10-15 years, I read them for Leadership Development courses and as I earned my MBA.

One of the BIG benefits of working at UK is they paid for my MBA....which I earned from Morehead State University completely online. The difference between my undergrad and graduate experience other than not being in a class room setting for lectures.....I read every textbook!!

Maybe that's why I don't read as much anymore...or maybe it's because I have 2 girls, a husband and so many other things on my plate. I love reading and learning, but find I get consumed on the computer and with other activities...so having encouragement from UK and Beachbody to engage in personal/professional development helps me stay accountable to my continued learning goals!!!

While I read these books for Leadership Development courses over the past several year, I have found I complete more books faster through Audible. I listen for 10 minutes on the way to and from work...after dropping Caroline off at daycare.

Here are some of the books I listened to last year...

some I listened to once and others I have listened to multiple times:

Go Pro by Eric Worre

Change anything by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Genny, David Maxfield, Ron McMilan and Al Switzler

You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero

The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann

The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster by Darren Hardy

Currently I'm listening to Bounce Back by John Calipari and

here is the beginning of my book list for 2016:

The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon

Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek

The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz

Parenting the QBQ Way by John Miller & Karen Miller

Do you have other leadership books you recommend???

Which do you prefer...hardback books or audible version?

Birds of Paradise - Chicken Recipe

Growing up, we ate a lot chicken. Chicken and rice. Chicken and salsa. Chicken casserole. I wasn't sure why we ate so much chicken. I thought it was just because my mom was on a Weight Watchers diet. She would put the chicken in the oven and then go on a walk. I always wanted to tag along on my bike. Now I understand. Chicken is quick and easy. Chicken is inexpensive. Chicken can be healthy. Now as a mom I also understand, my mom wanted to on on those walks alone...to have some peace and quiet time!
