Beyond the Boys' Club
Suzanne Doyle-Morris · Published 2009
I am recommending this book to friends, colleagues and clients (both men & women) as it's valuable to all in organisations. I only wish this book had been out when I was younger as I would have felt less alone as a women in a male dominated environment.

Trust Unwrapped: A Story of Ethics, Integrity and Chocolate
Dan Collins · Published 2008
Easy to read format and loved the perspective. I really liked the format - it worked well. The story itself is a little 'fairytale' but heh... The left hand side section of the book was very valuable & excellent input.
