As a business coach, Dennis helps leaders everyday by asking questions, sharing inspiration, and offering resources. In today's episode, Dennis draws on his years of experience as a coach, providing resources to help you as a leader. By the numbers: one key behavior, two key books, three key films, and four key words.

Key behavior: rest. Life and leadership is stressful, and for many of us it can be challenging to leave work at the office. Dennis shares how he has benefited from an annual vacation (away from phones and computers), as well as a weekly rest on Sunday to mentally unwind for the week ahead.
Key books. Dennis always keeps two books nearby: the Bible, and one other book. The 'second book' has carried many covers throughout his life, and so Dennis shares his Dirty Dozen that have had the most profound impact on him:
1. Victory over the Darkness by Neil Anderson (Amazon)
2. Wild at Heart by John Eldredge (Amazon)
3. Love is the Killer App by Tim Sanders (Amazon)
4. Lee: The Last Years by Charles Bracelen Flood (Amazon)

Key films.
