We’re back with another review from #TeamBreef’s #BookClub. Every quarter we meet to discuss a book related to a topic on business, professional or personal development. Last month we read a team favorite, 'How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen' by David Brooks. The book provided detailed accounts of experiences from Brooks and others, highlighting key insights into how to see and know others truly. Below are a few of our favorite takeaways: 1. Build a team of illuminators. Brooks separates two main categories of people: diminishers and illuminators. Illuminators are curious, receptive and generous — and most importantly want to know others deeply. Illuminators shine a light on the strengths of those around them, making them feel respected, cared for and appreciated. 2. There’s power in accompaniment. Sometimes, being present with someone is all they need to feel seen. Accompanying someone means being available, patient and willful. 3. The art of good conversation is one worth mastering. The power of good, intentional conversation is unmatched. This means not only listening actively but listening loudly: inviting the person you’re speaking to to express themselves freely.

I’m a huge fan of Diana Kander's work! I first learned about her from her book “The Curiosity Muscle” which was outstanding! Just finished her new book “Go Big or Go Home” on how to create the most amazing pitch that close the deal. 2 super simple takeaways I immediately applied to my outreach: 1) You need to be surprising. Chances are everyone is pitching the same way, the same thing, the same script. Do something that makes you stand out 2) BUT!!! ....Don’t talk about what makes you stand out first; First show you understand them, talk about what they care about. There are many other illuminating ideas covered in the book that stems from Tucker Trotter: The mastermind behind these techniques that help his company skyrocket his closing rates. Lastly: there’s got to be an inner magician in Diana & Tucker because their secret sauce’s acronym is “MAGIC” (WHAT?????!!!). Read the book and learn how you can incorporate what they called “magic moments” in your presentations to close that deal. #GoBigorGoHome #Inspirational #Practical #bookrecommendations

Excuse the Title, Embrace the Insight ✨ I've embarked on an intriguing #journey with Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a [Censored], and I'm excited to share that I've just finished the 1st chapter. Manson’s raw and honest #approach is like a refreshing splash of realism. He urges us to be picky about what we #invest our time and energy in. By prioritizing what truly matters, we can lead more meaningful and fulfilling lives. Imagine your life as a comic strip. Each frame represents a day, filled with thought bubbles and action shots. The secret to a compelling comic isn’t the number of panels but the richness of the #story. Manson’s 1st chapter teaches us that not every bubble deserves our ink. By choosing which bubbles to highlight, we make our story #richer and more #impactful. For those pursuing #selfimprovement and #careergrowth, like me, this book is proving to be a game-changer. Let’s focus on what truly adds value to our lives and careers, one chapter at a time. Stay tuned as I continue this journey and share more insights! #SelfImprovement #ProfessionalGrowth #TheSubtleArtOfNotGivingAF #linkedinforcreators #linkedinforcreator #linkedincommunity #linkedinengagement #linkedinreach #linkedin #markmanson
