The Beauty of Discomfort by Amanda Lang Pdf

Why do some people drive change while others are blindsided by it? Why are some people able to adapt and thrive? How can we make change easier? Truly successful people don’t merely tolerate discomfort—they embrace it and seek it out again and again. Business founders and university students, top athletes and couch potatoes, meditation gurus and military leaders all have very different ways of coping with discomfort, but the most successful among them believe that withstanding discomfort is a skill that has helped them in hugely positive ways. Some were forced into discomfort through no choice of their own—a life-altering illness, a business fiasco—while others signed up for it because they had goals they were determined to achieve. Some degree of discomfort is inherently good for you. It can spur you on, pushing you to test your own limits. Learning to tolerate, and then embrace, discomfort is the foundation for change, for individuals and businesses alike. Becoming comfortable with discomfort won’t just make us more resilient and more successful, however we define success. It will also make us happier.

Breaking the Gas Ceiling by Rebecca Ponton Pdf

The international petroleum industry has long been known the world over as a "good old boys' club" and nowhere is the oil and gas industry’s gender imbalance more apparent than offshore. The untold story, shared in these pages, is about the women who have been among the first to inhabit this world, and whose stories previously have been a missing part of the history of the industry. "As a CEO, I believe it is imperative for today’s generation of young women to realize there is a seat for them in the boards of oil & gas companies as the “gas ceiling” can be broken quicker and easier than before. Reading this book, they will think about these women who have gone before them and broken down those barriers in order to give them new opportunities." -- Maria Moraeus Hanssen, CEO, DEA Deutsche Erdoel AG "My belief is that diversity is key to both creativity and solid long-term business results. Even in a country like Norway, where professional gender diversity is greater than in any other country I have had interactions with, we have an underrepresentation of women in top management positions. I would therefore like to express my appreciation to Rebecca Ponton for keeping this important subject on the agenda by presenting to us positive, impressive and, at the same time, obtainable role models." -- Grethe K. Moen, CEO and President, Petoro AS "As the industry now is more complex and faces more uncertainty, women will be more important contributors, especially in management and communication. Women could be just what is needed!" -- Karen Sund, Founder Sund Energy AS "Everyone needs role models – and role models that look like you are even better. For women, the oil and gas industry has historically been pretty thin on role models for young women to look up to. Rebecca Ponton has provided an outstanding compilation of role models for all women who aspire to success in one of the most important industries of modern times." -- Dave Payne, Chevron VP Drilling & Completions Learn more at www.BreakingTheGlassCeiling.com From the World Voices Series at Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • Named One of the Best Beach Reads of the Year by Parade, O: The Oprah Magazine, and Good Housekeeping “The exuberant activity aboard the Splendido Marveloso is no match for the fireworks set off as the lies explode. Full of wicked humor and delicious destination details.”—People (Book of the Week) NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE When seventy-year-old Charlotte Perkins submits a sexy essay to the Become a Jetsetter contest, she dreams of reuniting her estranged children: Lee, an almost-famous actress; Cord, a handsome Manhattan venture capitalist who can’t seem to find a partner; and Regan, a harried mother who took it all wrong when Charlotte bought her a Weight Watchers gift certificate for her birthday. Charlotte yearns for the years when her children were young, when she was a single mother who meant everything to them. When she wins the contest, the family packs their baggage—both literal and figurative—and spends ten days traveling from sun-drenched Athens through glorious Rome to tapas-laden Barcelona on an over-the-top cruise ship, the Splendido Marveloso. As lovers new and old join the adventure, long-buried secrets are revealed and old wounds are reopened, forcing the Perkins family to confront the forces that drove them apart and the defining choices of their lives. Can four lost adults find the peace they’ve been seeking by reconciling their childhood aches and coming back together? In the vein of The Nest and The Vacationers, The Jetsetters is a delicious and intelligent novel about the courage it takes to reveal our true selves, the pleasures and perils of family, and how we navigate the seas of adulthood.

Working in the Middle East by Amanda M. Riggs Pdf

Presenting the firsthand account of an American woman working several jobs in Egypt over a four-year period, this book analyzes the cross-cultural business environment between the United States and the Middle East and North Africa. It provides recommendations to enable anyone—male or female—to successfully navigate commercial activities in the region. As the American workforce evolves and more women seek leadership roles in business, a growing number of women—and men—are seeking international business experiences to advance their careers and set themselves apart from their competition. Conducting business in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA region) requires an in-depth understanding of the Arab mindset and cultural standards of that region. Authored by one of few women who have pioneered working in the region, this book delves deeply into business culture in the Middle East and North Africa and addresses how women in particular can be successful, especially Western women whose business culture is different, offering insights that will help deepen one's ability to function in business across the MENA region as well as throughout the world. Readers will learn the truth about living in the Middle East and North Africa and what a Western woman will likely face, from cultural customs, business practices, and socio-economic challenges that exist in these emerging markets to the realities of potential sexual harassment to the lack of rule of law. The book describes aspects of the crosscultural experience, such as the importance of the collectivist mentality in the office and the role of maintaining one's honor not only in business relationships but also in MENA culture in general. It also explains the four main elements of international business negotiations and identifies the reasons that more American women should consider working internationally, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, but also in other collectivist cultures, namely in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The author illustrates the unique cultural context in the Middle East and North Africa for Westerners and supplies a breadth of recommendations and insights that will serve anyone—male or female—seeking to successfully navigate business in the region.
