The Rejection That Changed My Life: 25+ Powerful Women on Being Let Down, Turning It Around, and Burning It Up at Work
by Jessica BacalFrom the groundbreaking author of Mistakes I Made at Work, comes the perfect book for anyone who needs inspiration after dealing with rejection, failure, or is searching for a new beginning in the workplace. Featuring fascinating interviews with more than twenty-five women, including Keri Smith, Angela Duckworth, and Roz Chast, The Rejection That Changed My Life provides an exciting new way to think about career challenges, changes, and triumphs. Rejections don't go on your résumé, but they are part of every successful person's career. All of us will apply for jobs that we don't get and have ambitions that aren't fulfilled, because that is part of being a working person, part of pushing oneself to the next step professionally. While everyone deserves feel-better stories, women are more likely to ruminate, more likely to overthink rejection until it becomes even more painful—a situation that the women in this collection are determined to change, and in so doing, normalize rejection and encourage others to talk about it. Empowering and full of heart, the stories in this collection are diverse in every sense, by top women from many cultural backgrounds and in a wide variety of fields; many of their hard-earned lessons are universal. There are stories from engineers, entrepreneurs, activists, comedians, professors, lawyers, chefs, and more on how they coped with rejection and even experienced it as a catalyst for their own personal professional growth. Powerful, motivating, and endlessly quotable and shareable, The Rejection That Changed My Life will become the go-to book for women at any stage of their career learning to navigate the workforce.

Relaciones que funcionan: Cómo entenderte hasta con tu peor enemigo
by Alex Galofré Ferran Ramón-CortesUna herramienta para conocer mejor a los demás, ajustar nuestra relación con ellos y, de esta forma, evitar malentendidos y conflictos. Las personas tenemos estilos diferentes, y esto hace que recibamos la comunicación de forma diferente. Adaptar nuestra comunicación al estilo de la persona a la que nos dirigimos hace que nos podamos entender mejor. Para conseguir una relación positiva entre distintos estilos, necesitamos tender puentes de comprensión y aceptación. Necesitamos entender qué necesita cada estilo y qué debemos evitar. Solo así podremos vencer malentendidos y conflictos. Relaciones que funcionan parte de la idea de que cada persona posee un estilo de relación con los otros diferente, y que esos estilos se pueden agrupar en cuatro grandes tipologías. A partir de estas tipologías, los autores proponen una metodología para conocer a nuestros interlocutores y adaptar nuestra comunicación a ellos, de forma que sea más persuasiva. El libro también introduce una reflexión sobre cómo nos podemos relacionar con personas que son aparentemente antagónicas a nosotros, dando explicación a incomprensiones y conflictos a los que a veces nos enfrentamos sin comprender cómo se han originado, y menos aún, cómo resolverlos.

Relational Intelligence: The People Skills You Need for the Life of Purpose You Want
by Dharius DanielsConsidering Jesus's relational model for choosing the twelve disciples, Relational Intelligence will walk you through how to assess your relationships, define them, discern them, align them, and finally activate your relationships to unlock your greatest potential.Years of ministry leadership experience and personal experience have convinced Dr. Dharius Daniels: there's no such thing as a casual relationship. All relationships are catalytic - either pushing us forward into our God-given purposes or holding us back. Our spiritual, physical, financial, emotional, and professional progress is greatly impacted by who we allow to be a part of our lives and what part we allow them to play. With our destiny on the line, relationships are too consequential to nonchalantly roll the dice in managing them.Relational Intelligence is your action plan for getting smart about your purpose partners. Relationships were God's idea, writes Daniels, and when we understand and apply what God has to say about them we end up avoiding unnecessary relational turmoil, advancing in all areas of our life, and accomplishing our God-given purpose.When your purpose is on the line, the cost of relational unintelligence is too great to pay. In this book, you will explore and learn how to activate the relational intelligence you need for the life of purpose you want.
