And from August 5–14, all 2015 book releases will be 20% off. _The Self-Aware Leader_By Dan Gallagher and Joseph Costal The Self-Aware Leader was given to me by a friend before I came to work for ATD to use as a tool in my career coaching practice. I found its practical lessons on becoming more self-aware as a manager were beneficial for me as well as my clients. It offers insights regarding aspects of your management career, including which characteristics drive desirable leadership outcomes and personal success. **_Career Moves 3rd Edition_**By Annabelle Reitman and Caitlin WilliamsUpdated in 2013, Career Moves by career experts Caitlin Williams and Annabelle Reitman, shows you how to create your dream career by using practical planning exercises and techniques.

Why? Over the course of a decade, positive psychology authority Dr. Beth Cabrera has surveyed and interviewed more than a thousand women to gather insight into how to effectively balance career and family responsibilities. In Beyond Happy: Women, Work, and Well-Being, she gathers her essential findings and offers women proven strategies for living more authentic, meaningful lives. Helpful self-assessments guide you toward feeling good and doing good, and each chapter delivers tried-and-true tactics that real women have used to manage the difficulties of fulfilling their multiple, often conflicting, roles.

Your Career Development Summer Reading List

The world of talent development—and the world at large—is changing quickly, and in ways that are shifting paradigms. In 2016, a few exciting new ideas entered the conversation, while a few others seemed to be on the verge of undergoing big changes. And they’re not all focused around technological advancements. Organizations are beginning to look at the latter half of diversity and inclusion, hoping to figure out how to create a more inclusive working environment, while dealing with their inherent unconscious biases. Meanwhile, the practice of design thinking has started to become popular, and companies are seriously looking at the usefulness of their annual performance reviews.
In this webcast, you’ll learn about:
• the four trends that have risen to prominence in 2016
• how you and your organization can adapt to these changes
• where these trends will take the industry in the next year and beyond.
