“Sharing our love of leadership, coffee and biscotti! " Take a seat at your local coffee shop, enjoy a cup of coffee, biscotti (or your favorite baked good) and enjoy some conversation around the highlights and practical application of leadership books. Erin and Ashley will share stories, highlights of books that encompass leadership and how to implement the lessons in the books! If you are not a reader, love reading, or have been recommended a book and just do not have time to read it; or you find the material dry, this is the podcast for you! If you enjoy real life experiences, trails and errors while reading and of course connection over coffee and biscotti, we are your podcast!
