Books in 2019 and 2020
What are you reading? What are you learning?
I have an old friend who regularly greets her friends with the question, “What are you reading?” This is one of my favorite questions because it assumes that the person is a learner and a reader. I think we should be both. So, the second question that goes with the first is “What are you learning?”
That really leads to pre-questions: Why are you reading these books? What books are next in line? What are your goals? What books and articles are you reading that lead you to your goals? Also, what courses, lectures, YouTube videos, webinars might you be “attending” to reach your goals?
My reading - and my goals
One of my biggest goals is always to work on being a better coach, supervisor and consultant for my clients, so I am reading coaching and supervision books and am now finishing supervision course with EASC certification.
We are all constantly learning and changing and I believe change is possible for everyone.
We learn through many ways and one is via input (reading, or YouTube, and TED for example).
So, what are your goals for 2020? What are doing to reach those goals? What are you reading and what are you learning?
Have a great New Year!
