Personal Recommendations Straight from Maria's Office Bookshelf

I love reading and watching movies. It's the perfect way that I have found to learn, to grow and to be entertained. I have a core selection of books and movies that I keep on my shelf and review often to gather new insights and ideas as well as to benefit from the experiences of others. If you are looking for business and leadership focused material that inspires, motivates and even brings joy to your work and life, then I encourage you to take a look at some of my favorites. And, if you have a recommendation for me, please send me an email and tell me about it. I’m always interested in hearing about your own new discoveries and how they resonate with your life.
