How Will You Measure Your Life?
by Clayton M Christensen
A year ago, we introduced you to beloved Harvard professor, Clay Christensen and shared his TED Talk. In his book, “How Will You Measure Your Life?”, Professor Christensen dives deeper into the daily decisions that define our lives. He uses his skills of taking broad and complex concepts and applying them to one’s own personal life, and encourages us to think about how we measure success in our careers while not straying from our values as human beings. In this book, Professor Christensen offers a set of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness, as well as how to lead a fuller, more purposeful life.

The Retail Doctor’s Guide to Growing Your Business
by Bob Phibbs
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, EGC’s “Comeback” webinars addressed topics that many in our business community were facing. One favorite guest speaker who joined us twice was “The Retail Doctor,” Bob Phibbs, an internationally recognized business strategist, customer service expert, sales coach and marketing mentor—who also happens to be an author. His book, “A Retail Doctor’s Guide to Growing Your Business: A Step-by-Step Approach to Quickly Diagnose, Treat, and Cure,” is a must-read for retailers who are frustrated by market challenges and looking for ways to take control of their businesses.
