“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was ‘you should read this book‘. After taking this advice the first time and finding it so valuable, I became an avid reader. The best part about this is that I’ve read a lot of books so you don’t have to – what a time saver!
Pocket Ninja Strategies’ coaching, courses, workshops and facilitation are backed by this this wealth of knowledge and 20 years of professional experience.
