Ping : the secrets of successful virtual communication / Brodsky, Andrew

"Discover the ultimate guide on when (and how) to use virtual communication tools, from video to instant messaging and everything in between, written by management professor at The University of Texas at Austin and leading expert on virtual communication Andrew Brodsky. Andrew Brodsky is here to tell you that, yes, that meeting could have been an email. And that email? Maybe it should have been a voice memo (really!). And your camera-it's okay to turn it off, sometimes even better. Many of us give far too little thought to how we communicate virtually at work-just going with the flow when we see another Zoom meeting has been added to our calendar or accepting the late night email chains as normal. And this has consequences: from employee burnout due to back-to-back-to-back video calls, to lack of connection with our colleagues or customers, to potential for embarrassment or misunderstandings with the wrong message forwarded or a tweet gone viral. Despite our increasing reliance on communication technology for our work, until now, there has been no guide for navigating it. Which brings us to Ping. In this accessible book for workers of all stripes (remote, hybrid, and those who work fully in person, yet use communication technologies as part of their jobs) Brodsky dives into the big questions we all have: Which communication modes are the best for which situations? How can we interact most productively and authentically? How do we build relationships at a distance? How can we increase workplace inclusion using these technologies? And finally, how can we best deal with conflict via virtual communication? Split into three parts, each section of Ping tackles core components of how to better navigate communication challenges and technology in contemporary workplaces. Every chapter highlights an important challenge faced when using communication technologies, like how to start new relationships or how to negotiate virtually. With entertaining stories, interviews from top business leaders, and Brodsky's cutting-edge social science research on remote communication tools, Ping is an indispensable guide for today's modern workplace"--

Renegade grief : a guide to the wild ride of life after loss / Fernandez, Carla

So, you've lost someone. At first, there is an outpouring of support and phone calls and care packages. But after the services are done and the phone stops ringing, there is a quiet in the air and an expectation to get on with your life as previously planned. The problem is that death has a way of making all plans go out the window. Renegade Grief offers the support in this next stage of grieving -- when you feel isolated in your loss and are figuring out how to navigate it. Shaped by her own experience with the death of her father and her time cofounding The Dinner Party, a leading grief support organization for young people, Carla Fernandez pushes back on the death-denying culture we live in and encourages you to explore how the intensity (or shittiness) of a loss experience can transform into a source of deep connection, personal purpose, and creative expression. Through inspiring stories of real grievers, patterns from across history, and fresh science, Renegade Grief enlivens you with the permission and possibility to explore your grief in your own unique way and reminds you that you're not alone in doing it. Renegade Grief is an indispensable resource for people at any stage of the grieving process and with Carla's candid and compassionate guidance, you learn that life after loss isn't about the futile attempt of arriving at some other side. Rather, it's about building your community, adjusting to change, and finding the way for your grief to become a pathway into your own version of a soulful life.

Midlife matters : feel empowered and confident every step of the way / Taylor, Katie.

With significant female figures breaking down taboos around menopause and opening the discussion, women are in a stronger position than ever before to insist on a better midlife experience--a real cause for celebration.

Because midlife for women is a multifaceted experience, one in which our changing bodies play an enormous part, but that's far from the only thing going on. Midlife Matters promises to be an all-encompassing guide and manual for midlife women, exploring the five key areas of health, wellbeing, relationships, work life, challenges & opportunities with humour and honesty. Guiding us through, author Katie Taylor's friendly narrative is supported by expert contributions in each chapter, including advice and resources from a world-renowned medical advisory team--and of course the testimonies of real women from the midlife community.
