RECOMMENDED READING
Founded in 2014 by Chet Buchman, the First 15™ Reading Program has the potential to improve office morale, foster a culture of learning and improve firm productivity. This program demonstrates our firm's commitment to the personal and professional development of our team by allowing them the paid time to read at the start of each day. Books of choice are non-fiction and have subjects ranging from leadership, self-help, spirituality, and management. The Firm provides a library at all SJHL locations for employee use, or employees may purchase books of their own. Click here to download the First 15™ toolkit. In addition to reading, team members use the 4 Keys Journal to help get their day off to a great start.

-Caitlin Chambers
I love how it's a quiet start to the day and great transition from home to work. It's also really neat to learn and share with others books we've read or suggestions from our list.
