EXECUTIVE BOOK CLUB

continued from page 059

WHAT I DO:

“I’m a celebrity makeup artist and the owner of Daniela Bell Beauty and Makeup Studio, where we provide permanent makeup, special occasion hair and makeup services, makeup lessons, and a luxury lash line.”

STYLE ICON:

“Olivier Rousteing has revolutionized the way fashion is marketed and personalized; his business strategies, as well as his passion, have been very inspiring to me. His style is also unique.”

ON THE JOB:

“The beauty industry is very glam, so I try to keep up with fashion trends and add my own spin. When I work, I like to be comfortable. I will sometimes combine chic sneakers with a nice blazer for a casual-cool look.”

FASHION INSPIRATION: “Dressing up is fun, and it motivates me on the days when I’m not feeling too glamorous. I’ll pop on a pair of lashes to feel more daring and put together.”

STYLE DEFINED:

“Eclectic. I love dressing in monochromatic athleisure as much as I love wearing more fited bodycon dresses. I also love a flwy dress with sneakers.”

FASHION ESSENTIALS:

“My favorite Chanel lipgloss, a fragrance from Diptyque and, of course, my lashes in the travel case, just in case.”

GO-TO LOOK:

“Anything chic athleisure, with a fun blazer and open-heeled sandals.”

HOW I ACCESSORIZE:

“I’m a handbag and shoe lover, so those are always a big part of my outfit”

WEEKEND LOOK:

“When I dress up more, I’ll add a pop of color in my heels and lips.”

FAVORITE STORES:

“I love Neiman Marcus for important events. For athleisure, I love Aritzia and Zara, and I can always count on Nordstrom.”

MUST-READ

Area leaders tell us the one book they think everyone should read—and why.

“The Interaction Field by Erich Joachimsthaler is similar to my thesis by discussing the new paradigm for businesses of the 21st century where business innovation is both a threat and an ally. It amplifies how some leading companie create value through the ‘Interaction Field’ model where successful businesses are helping solve challenges for many direct and indirect stakeholders and parts of the value chain.”

“The 12 Week Year is a gamechanger to help individuals focus on what is important, build a structured approach to goals, and become more productive. His approach can be applied to many facets of one’s professional and personal life.”

“Being Mortal by Atul Gawande stimulates deep thought and emotions, bringing to light many subjects about being mortal that people tend to ignore. It’s important to understand the people we aim to serve as well as ourselves.” “Leaders Eat Last is one of my favorite books. The author, Simon Sinek, illustrates how the world’s best leaders achieve servant leadership, including how to motivate others by creating an honest, trusting environment with a service orientation.”

“In The Color of Water, James McBride writes about his relationship with his mother during a difficult time in history. His mother is White and married a Black man in 1942. It is a very powerful story. I have a copy that is falling apart at the seams.”

“Thinking, Fast and Slow helped me better understand my process for making decisions and to reflect on how my biases influene me. You need to know when to trust your instincts and when to challenge your spontaneous thoughts.”

“The Boys in the Boat is a powerful story about personal endurance, team building, and how to win. While navigating through a turbulent world and personal circumstances, it is very important to not give up and to continuously grow.”
