Deep Dives: An Ocean of Books

A Curated Collection for Growth and Learning

Such a vast ocean of knowledge to explore…

After 15 years of coaching individuals and teams through transformation, I’ve gathered over 300 books on leadership and organizational change—each one a compass for navigating different depths of professional growth.

This curated collection of agile and leadership books spans the full ecosystem of organizational life: from High Performing Teams to Culture Shaping, from Scrum Mastery to Mindfulness. Like tributaries feeding a river, these categories flow together to support your journey—whether you’re leading your first sprint or transforming entire organizations.

Browse by category or search for specific challenges, such as conflict, trust, or metrics.  (Free text will search across the title, description, and author fields)
