This Sunday Reads, we're reading: "The Proximity Principle: The Proven Strategy That Will Lead to a Career You Love"

Author Ken Coleman shares, "The beautiful thing about The Proximity Principle is that it works. And it keeps on working for as long as you work it. If you want a new job, it works. If you want to change careers, it works... To put it into practice, you can start by asking yourself two questions: 1. Who do I need to know? 2. Where do I need to be? When I asked myself those questions daily on my journey toward a career in broadcasting, I began to see quick results. The same principle will work for you too. Answering those two questions determines your next step."

In today’s fast-moving world, strategy alone isn’t enough: success comes down to your ability to bring people with you.

Our Strategies for Leading Successful Change Initiatives: Mastery Session is a program designed to help you do exactly that.

One participant who walked away ready to turn ideas into action shared with us: "I am a stronger leader and more powerful change agent than I was just three days ago… the skills are transferable to being a leader, an employee, a change agent, and most importantly, a human being." — Kayla DuBois, Director, USA

Our next session begins July 13, 2026. Register here: https://hubs.li/Q04g8Z070

Happy Sunday Reads! This week, we're reading: "Networking Like a Pro: Turning Contacts into Connections."

Authors Ivan Misner, David Alexander, and Brian Hilliard shares, "When you join and attend meetings in a business networking group, you build social capital in a number of ways. You gain the trust and friendship of fellow members; you provide valuable referrals; you contribute knowledge ad skills to the effort; you become more knowledgeable and improve your social and business skills... By gaining the trust of others, gratitude for value provided, and a solid reputation for integrity and expertise, you become a person whom others wish to help whenever an opportunity to do so presents itself."

This Sunday Reads, we're reading: "Stand Out Networking: A Simple and Authentic Way to Meet People on Your Own Terms."

Author Dorie Clark shares, "Networking isn't just about growing your business; it's about expanding your life with the kind of interesting people you'd like to surround yourself with. Not every contact will pay off in dollars and cents. Some people you won't click with at all; others may become lifelong friends; still others may hire you or become a client. Whoever the contact may be, thoughtfulness, persistence, and consistency will enrich the relationship."
