Start With Why by Simon Sinek

How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action

In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on Start With Why—the third most popular TED video of all time.

People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won’t truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it.

Start With Why shows that the leaders who’ve had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way — and it’s the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Intelligence Isn’t Enough

A Black Professional’s Guide to Thriving in the Workplace

Having worked for over 17 years with top companies including Deloitte, Google and McKinsey, professional development manager, coach, consultant and Harvard MBA Carice Anderson shares her insider knowledge – and sheds light on the harsh realities of corporate environments for many Black professionals. Anderson argues that young Black people often struggle early on in their careers without the necessary soft skills to navigate work environments and reach their full potential, and shows how to strengthen workplace relationships, sharpen communication skills, improve your personal brand and, ultimately, make an impact.

Including advice and anecdotes from 30 successful Black leaders across Africa, Europe, and North America, Intelligence Isn’t Enough aims to empower young Black graduates just entering the workforce and Black professionals already at work.

Learn how to survive and thrive in corporate spaces, take a strategic approach to your career, and understand yourself and others more deeply.

Intelligence Isn’t Enough is the ultimate Black professional’s guide to standing out, and showing up as your best and most authentic self at work.
