Passionate #EventProf writing about personal branding, leadership, and experiences. I will be sharing my journey, tips, and advice to empower others to position themselves as authentic, apologetic, memorable leaders in their field.

The perfect accompaniment to an evening in with a candle and some cozy blankets? A good book, of course.

Here are four books to read to improve your leadership skills as well as your confidence to start the new year.

The Art of Gathering, by Priya Parker

Who should read this? To me, everyone, but especially anyone who brings groups together, such as event professionals, executives, and hosts.

What is it about? How to create meaningful and memorable experiences when we gather, be it a work meeting or social event.

The Memo, by Mindy Harts

Who should read this? All women can benefit from this book, but if you're a woman of color, this is a must.

What is it about? How to navigate the workplace as a woman and secure a seat at the table.

Fear is My Homeboy, by Judi Holler

Who should read this? Anyone that allows fear and insecurity to drive their life.

What is it about? How to embrace and befriend your fear so you can create and live the life of your dreams.

You Are a Badass, by Jen Sincero

Who should read this? Anyone who doesn't think they're a badass (spoiler alert: you are!)

What is it about? How to embrace who you are, flaws and all, and feel empowered to live confidently.

Read these four books and get ready for your life to change.
