Posts Tagged: Keith Ferrazzi

Two weeks ago I moved into a new apartment and office, so life has been a bit chaotic. One of the areas where I’ve fallen behind is my reading. I currently have a stack of clipped articles, tagged magazines (so old media, I know) and a “favorites” file full of bookmarked articles I’ve come across online but haven’t had time to read.

Here is a chunk of my current “to-read” list. I hope this will guide you to some interesting content. And, if I never make it to the bottom of my stack, hopefully you can share your thoughts with me on what you’ve read…

“The Way We’ll Work”
Time magazine’s special report on the future of work and careers.

“Reinvent”
My 30/20 Vision radio show co-host and friend Alexandra Levit is writing a terrific syndicated column for the Wall Street Journal Careers website and I am way behind on her great articles.

“How to Give a Great Talk”
Barry Eisler’s blog post was recommended on Twitter recently and I’ve been eager to read it. Always looking for good tips on being a better presenter.

“An Executive Guide to Social Media”
In this special report, BusinessWeek provides a peek into how companies are using Facebook and Twitter. For anyone who wants to work for, sell to or understand corporate America, this sounds like a must read.

Who’s Got Your Back
If you’ve heard me speak about networking, you’ve probably heard me rave about Keith Ferrazzi’s first book, Never Eat Alone. This is his second book and it’s sitting on the top of my nightstand stack.

Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work
I loved Matthew Crawford’s recent article in The New York Times Magazine called “The Case for Working with Your Hands.” It made me realize how much I focus this blog and my speaking on advising young professionals how to get jobs in offices. In reality, “desk jobs” aren’t for everyone, nor should they be. I’m looking forward to read more about Crawford, a University of Chicago PhD who now runs a motorcycle repair shop.
