Callie’s Recommended Reads

We love celebrating our WILL Community members and also finding out what they are reading that informs and guides their leadership for life.

In this blog, we celebrate Callie B Elwayns, a Transformational Leadership Coach and Master Story Teller. I was at her recent sold out, very successful Bold and Visible Monologues which featured 7 women who owned their voices, stepped into visibility and told their powerful personal transformational stories. Check out Callie’s video of the Bold and Visible Monologues.

Here are some of Callie’s recommended reads that inform and guide her leadership for life:

In Touch takes you on a journey to awaken our true self. We are guided to expand our awareness through somatic sensing and cultivating self compassion. The result is a deep presence and a sense of spiritual alignment.

This fun book helps you tap into the magic of spontaneity in everyday life. Opening wide to possibilities and living into the unknown moment to moment! Using improv theatre as a basis for finding the truth in the moment.

The Second Circle: Using Positive Energy For Success in Every Situation (2017) by Patsy Rodenburg.
