Easy Gift Giving - Book Recommendations
Give the gift that gets them talking!

Its holiday shopping time! Yeah! Or, is this the more appropriate reaction - Ugh!

Does the thought of holiday shopping leave you exhausted and defeated before you even begin? I don’t know about you, but I don’t enjoy shopping in general. Pile on the added annoyances of long lines, limited parking and less than cheerful holiday crowds, and it’s a surefire recipe for a headache.

I do put a lot of thought into my gift giving and am known for giving just the right gift. I’m also all about getting my holiday shopping done early and with the least amount of hassle as possible. Thanks to the convenience of the internet, we can avoid many of the aggravations of holiday shopping.

Want to give gifts that get them talking?! Giving books as gifts is a thoughtful way to show you care. Take the time to pick a selection they will love and you’ll score major holiday points.

Books allow you to give the gift of:

• Professional Development
• Self-Confidence
• Intellectual Stimulation
• Personal Growth

I bet more than one person on your list will make the New Year’s Resolution to read more and watch less television. Here’s your chance to help them with that goal.

This month, I share my top book picks for holiday gift giving. Each week, I’ll highlight a different category including: personal empowerment, workplace communication, financial success and salary negotiation. These categories are based on some of top interests of the professional women I coach.

Each of these selections is a must-read. You might want to put them on your holiday wish list as well.
