"One idea discovered in one book can change the way you see the world."
Happy July!
What are you reading right now?
I get asked this question a lot. As a seasoned bookworm and a Skillsoft employee with a specialty in all things "books," my friends, colleagues, and family members presume that I read most waking hours—I wish I could! The truth is, I LOVE to read. I read to escape (who's with me that a good book can be like a vacation?); I read to relax and and clear my mind by pouring all of my focus into the words on the page before me; and probably like most of you, I read to learn—new skills, emerging technologies, and new approaches to develop myself, both personally and professionally—and books offer that opportunity.
Are you looking for new ways to motivate and engage your teams? Or become the most effective leader you can? The Skillsoft library has you covered! Or are you curious about software solutions like Kubernetes, or cutting-edge emerging technologies such as Generative AI and ChatGPT? We have books to help quench your thirst for knowledge on those topics, too. Looking to pass an upcoming CompTIA, (ISC)2 CCSP, or Microsoft Certified Associate exam? Check out our vast offering of study guides.

Office Shock: Creating Better Futures for Working and Living, by Bob Johansen, Joseph Press, and Christine Bullen | Berrett-Koehler, © 2023
Most people have experienced “office shock” during the past two years, with the pandemic disrupting where and how they work. It's clear that we can't go back to the office the way it was. This book re-imagines the office and shows how we can plan for more sustainable ways of working.
Office Shock is available on Percipio as a DIGITAL BOOK and an AUDIOBOOK.
