📚Resources:

Book: What Got You Here Won’t Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Reiter - We used the saying “what got you here won’t get you there” in this episode and I thought it important to share that was not to refer to this book. However, I’ve started reading the book and can highly recommend to anyone curious about coaching.
Book: Transformed - Moving to the Product Operating Model by Marty Cagan
Book: Trillion Dollar Coach by Eric Schmidt
Book: Reboot - Leadership and the Art of Growing Up by Jerry Colonna
