Judi also contributed a great post for this month’s LinkedIn mission: Beware Of Engagement Traps! (Judi Hays)
Judi designed this book to have Action Steps at the end of each section - so you can implement what she discusses in the book right away. It’s a good design for books I think -
I also want to add a few of @judihays links:
