Dear <<First Name>>,
I hope your week has given you time to reflect, be present with others, and consume content and ideas that ground you.
This spring, I finished reading “Emergent Strategy” by adrienne maree brown, which investigates our individual and collective relationships to change. As a facilitator, adrienne inspires me to enter workshops with a willingness to abandon rigid agendas and adapt the conversation to create space for the unique needs, perspectives, and ideas of the people I’m working with.
“There is a conversation in this room that only the people there can have… find it.”
I’m also excited to share (and read!) a list of books and articles submitted by fellow DFAers on this project:
“Designing Your Life” by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans - How to design a life you will thrive in.
“Leaders Eat Last” by Simon Sinek - The role we can all play in increasing effectiveness within teams.
“Fast Fiction” by Roberta Allen - 5-minute prompts to spark creativity and inspiration in your writing.
“Atomic Habits” by James Clear - A self-help book on the ways that habit formation can lead to powerful results.
“Shoe Dog” by Phil Knight - A biography of Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight.
“Power to the Public: The Promise of Public Interest Technology” by Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank - A powerful blueprint for how government and nonprofits can help solve society’s most pressing problems.
“Obsessed” by Emily Heyward - A reflection on how brands like Casper, Allbirds, Sweetgreen, and Everlane build devoted fan followings right out of the gate.
Are there any books, articles, or resources that have impacted you recently? Send them our way via the button below and we’ll share them in the next newsletter.
Wishing you a week filled with enriching reads and new ideas,
