On the Shelf With….
We are so lucky to have a plethora of smart, talented and girl boss women surrounding us. They give us advice, run their own sh*t and know when to have fun. Each one does their own thing professionally be it a CEO, writer, interior decorator or entrepreneur. You can only imagine the busy lives they lead – we when we get “girl time” the last thing we want to do is talk about work. Picking their brains for those golden strands of utter intelligence is NOT always on the agenda…
I have learned however, that successful and productive people are always educating themselves and growing their knowledge and IQ. A particularly common way of doing so is reading…go figure! So while paying a visit to someone I admire I always take a look at whats on their book shelf – you will ALWAYS find something to acquire something new to learn and won;t be let down.
…so while at my very good friends house, I took a little snapshot of what’s on her book shelf currently. Penni has graced the pages of Forbes Top 30 under 30 and continues to expand her #girlboss repertoire with projects and accomplishments for days. Everyone of us could learn a thing or two form her current favorites:
