Download or read book Recalculating written by Lindsey Pollak and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading workplace expert provides an inspirational, practical, and forward-looking career playbook for recent grads, career changers, and transitioning professionals looking to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving workplace. Covid-19 has heightened career uncertainty in a work landscape dominated by turbulence and change, and it is directly impacting how people are entering—or re-entering—the workplace. But as Lindsey Pollak makes clear, the pandemic merely accelerated career and hiring trends that have been building. Changes that were once slowly spreading have been rapidly implemented across all industries. This means that the old job hunting and career success rules no longer apply. Job seekers of all generations and skill sets must learn how to thrive in this “new normal,” which will include a hybrid of remote and in-person experiences, increased reliance on virtual communication and automation, constant disruption, and renewed employer emphasis on workers’ health and well-being. While this new world is complicated and constantly evolving, you won’t have to navigate it alone. For twenty years, Pollak has been following the trends and successfully advising young professionals and organizations on workplace success. Now, she guides you through the changes currently happening—and those to come. Combining insights from both experts and professionals across generations, she provides encouraging, strategic, and actionable advice on making lifelong decisions about education; building a resilient personal brand; using virtual communication to remotely interview, network, and work; skilling and reskilling for the future; and maintaining self-care and mental health. Like your personal GPS, Pollak equips you to handle workplace obstacles, helping you see them as challenges to navigate rather than impossible roadblocks. There is no perfect path to a dream career, but with Recalculating you’ll be prepared with the necessary skills and tools to succeed.
Book Synopsis Chickens in the Road by : Suzanne McMinn
Download or read book Chickens in the Road written by Suzanne McMinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suzanne McMinn, a former romance writer and founder of the popular blog chickensintheroad.com, shares the story of her search to lead a life of ordinary splendor in Chickens in the Road, her inspiring and funny memoir. Craving a life that would connect her to the earth and her family roots, McMinn packed up her three kids, left her husband and her sterile suburban existence behind, and moved to rural West Virginia. Amid the rough landscape and beauty of this rural mountain country, she pursues a natural lifestyle filled with chickens, goats, sheep—and no pizza delivery. With her new life comes an unexpected new love—"52," a man as beguiling and enigmatic as his nickname—a turbulent romance that reminds her that peace and fulfillment can be found in the wake of heartbreak. Coping with formidable challenges, including raising a trio of teenagers, milking stubborn cows, being snowed in with no heat, and making her own butter, McMinn realizes that she’s living a forty-something’s coming-of-age story. As she dares to become self-reliant and embrace her independence, she reminds us that life is a bold adventure—if we’re willing to live it. Chickens in the Road includes more than 20 recipes, craft projects, and McMinn’s photography, and features a special two-color design.
Book Synopsis Congratulations on Your Graduation! But Were You Ever Educated about Life After Graduation? by : Lee Black
Download or read book Congratulations on Your Graduation! But Were You Ever Educated about Life After Graduation? written by Lee Black and published by Lee Black. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I could go back in time to when I graduated from high school or college, there is just one graduation gift that I really wish that someone had given to me. It is THIS book! This is THE book that would have actually prepared me for life after graduation, it is about the real world, and it is filled with the ultimate truths that have taken me half a lifetime to uncover! This book is ideal for everyone. This is the final textbook that every graduate needs to ace the most important test of all, the test of life! Students live in an artificial and unrealistic world where their success is based on memorizing and regurgitating facts and figures. Students adapt to a classroom world where they are fairly judged against others based on their memory and their ability to follow provided instructions. There usually are no work place politics or bias judgements on one’s appearance and background in the classroom. Students only need to face mostly fair and objective tests. In our educational institutions there is little or no mention about how every aspect of one’s appearance and background will be unfairly judged by the world that awaits them after graduation. Students are often told how intelligent they are, but are never actually taught how to think. They solve no real life problems, but they make the Dean’s list. They are not taught how to generate a creative or original thought, but get an “A” by summarizing a book created by someone else. Often students are simply told what to think from the bias perspective of their teacher and their educational institution. So when they graduate they actually have no education on how to think independently, or on how to handle their life. When I graduated everyone told me how smart I was, and they seemed to imply that getting all those “A” grades and degrees completely prepared me for the future. But deep down inside I had so many unanswered questions, I found out the hard way that I was completely uneducated for the rest of my life after graduation! Here are the unanswered life questions that I struggled with: How do you interview for a job? How do you improve your job performance? How do you deal with human bias and work place politics? How do you move up in your career? How do you start and grow your own business? How do you manage your money? How do you stay fit and healthy? How do you build strong positive relationships? How do you stay fit and healthy? And the ultimate question - How do you get more joy in life? So now, looking back on it all, I decided to create the book that answers the questions I had when I graduated. This is THE GRADUATION BOOK and THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BOOK! The truths revealed here will entertain you and shock you! But ultimately this is THE higher education textbook that will allow you to achieve more, to have more, and to enjoy more for the rest of your life!
Book Synopsis Breaking the Silence Habit by : Sarah Beaulieu
Download or read book Breaking the Silence Habit written by Sarah Beaulieu and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top consultant Sarah Beaulieu offers a five-part framework that enables employees to have difficult but necessary conversations about sexual harassment and violence and develop new, better ways of working together. In the wake of the #MeToo movement, employees and leaders are struggling with how to respond to the pervasiveness of sexual harassment. Most approaches simply emphasize knowing and complying with existing laws. But people need more than lists of dos and don'ts—they need to learn how to navigate this uncertain, emotionally charged terrain. Sarah Beaulieu provides a new skills-based approach to addressing sexual harassment prevention and response in the workplace, including using underdeveloped skills like empathy, situational awareness, boundary setting, and intervention. Beaulieu outlines a five-part framework for having conversations about sexual harassment: Know the Facts; Feel Uncomfortable; Get Curious, Not Furious; See the Whole Picture; and Embrace Practical Questions. By embracing these conversations, we can break the cycle of avoidance and silence that makes our lives and workplaces feel volatile and unsafe. Grounded in storytelling, humor, and dozens of real-life scenarios, this book introduces the idea of uncomfortable conversation as the core skill required to enable everyone to bring their full talent and contributions to safe and respectful workplaces.

Download or read book The College Stalker written by Shannon Reland and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Braelynn and Jennifer graduated high school. Both of them got accepted to the same college in New York. It was called the Academy of Arts. Braelynn wanted to be a fashion designer, and Jennifer would like to become a professional photographer. Braelynn came from a large family while Jennifer was an only child and lived with her mother until she passed away from cancer during their senior year of high school. They were related through their mothers. They were cousins and very close like sisters. Jennifer's mother passed away a few weeks before graduation. No one knew what happened to Jennifer's father. Braelynn's family took in Jennifer when her mother died. She wanted to sell everything except the important things that she cared about. Jennifer didn't want any reminders of what happened to her growing up. Braelynn's parents divorced when she was fifteen. Her father was cheating on her mother, and he got caught by her oldest brother. Braelynn and Jennifer drove down to college and got settled into the dorm room and their classes. They passed each other from time to time, but that was it during the day. They did have different classes after all. They were studying hard, going to a few parties, meeting new people, and seeing some familiar faces from their classes. They thought about pledging to some sororities, but later, they saw that they were not their cup of tea. They made a lot of friends, which was always good. That was how Jennifer met her girlfriend Leigh-Ann. They went home for the holidays and summer breaks as well. During their junior year in college, they found out that they were related to one of their friends named Olivia. Her mother got Olivia's mother's phone number so they could talk and meet for the first time. They planned for everyone to meet over Thanksgiving break and help them get to Maine from Ohio. John stalked her for a while because he wanted to date her, and she nicely refused him. She let him know that she was in college to study her profession, and she was not interested in starting any kind of relationships for the time being. He didn't take no for an answer and started following them around campus. She asked him politely to leave them alone, and he still followed them. It got so bad that they had to change their schedule on the weekends to run errands. They even changed where they would go out to eat and get their breakfast if that was what they wanted to do. She was not letting him scare her off though. She was still living her life. They went to the same places, just different times. He finally took the hint and left them alone for the time being. He saw them at a few parties and tried to dance with her. Their guy friends put a barrier around them girls, which she was very thankful for. During their last year of college, he asked her out. She said as friends, and that was the start. They went out together with other couples because she didn't know John and didn't want to be alone with him. After a while, they started dating. They went to a few parties together with her friends. Jennifer and Leigh-Ann went too. She lost her virginity to him, and later in their senior year, she became pregnant by him. He didn't use protection, and she was inexperienced, so she had no clue what to do. She had the talk with her mother but really didn't know about that sort of thing. John told her that he couldn't be the father because he had a childhood accident. She told him that she never cheated on him, and the baby was his. He left her standing in the middle of campus, crying in Jennifer's arms. She let her family know during Thanksgiving break. Her brothers wanted to kick his butt because as a young man, he should have taken precautions. Her family let her know that they were behind her no matter what she decided! Did John try to get back with her? What would happen to the baby? To find out, read book 2.
