03. The Books I Recommend Most to My Coaching Clients

 

Friends, it’s CB’s Book Club time 📚

To round out November, I’m taking you on a little tour of my bookshelf… specifically the books I thrust into the hands of my clients.

These are the titles that have shaped my work, supported my clients through endings and beginnings and offered guidance on creativity, money, relationships, love, sensitivity, neurodivergence and being human in all our complexity.

These are the titles that have genuinely changed lives, including my own.

✨ Leave me a voice note:

Remember, you can leave me a voice note anytime at speakpipe.com/cbsbookclub. Share your name, where you’re listening from… and this month, would tell me a little about how you organise your bookshelf? Are you a colour coder, do you organise by theme or title, or no system at all?
