I’m a big fan of Michael Bungay Stanier. He’s written many books. I can’t decide whether I like The Coaching Habit or Do More Great Work better. I use things I learned in both of them quite frequently in my practice.
Do More Great Work is a way to guide yourself through reflection and action exercises to come alive again and feel excited about work. It covers how to say no and establish boundaries around the kind of work you aren’t thrilled by, but others expect from you, as well as idea generation and developing an action plan for getting more of the challenge, reward, and stretch that comes from work you find most rewarding.
It’s worth $20 and 90 minutes of your attention, if you aren’t sure where else to start.
