One of the best parts of our job is the brilliant people we come into contact with. From influencers, online content creators, and sponsors. Not to mention the attendees that come to our events. But recently we asked a group of professional women what books they’ve been reading (or listening to) that have given them an edge up, or made an impact in one way or another. These are books every female entrepreneur should read.
A list of must-read books to kick off 2020 in the right direction.
To help with direction
Sometimes we just need a push in the right direction. Some of these books will tell you exactly how to stay on the right road, or tell you when it’s time to get off. Finding your direction can be hard. But these authors give us a solid understanding of what we should be doing.

On how to get it done
