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.
