After 20+ years as an HR leader, I discovered the world of writing, and have written five books that I am immensely proud of - 'Appreciate it! The Playbook for Employee Recognition', 'See it. Say it. Appreciate it!, 'Build it: The Rebel Playbook for Employee Engagement', 'Bringing Your Values Out to Play' and "Communicating with Impact'.
My style of writing is a combination of tips, tools and storytelling, giving readers what they need to be inspired and take action. I hope you enjoy them - read more about them each below.
