When Getting Along Is Not Enough by Maureen Walker Pdf
Now more than ever, race has become a morphing relational dynamic that has less to do with the demographic census box we check and more with how we make sense of our lives--who we are and who we can become in relationships with others. Using anecdotes from her practice as a licensed psychologist and as an African American growing up in the South, Walker provides a way for educators and social service professionals to enter into cross-racial discussions about race and race relations. She identifies three essential relational skills for personal transformation and cultural healing that are the foundations for repairing the damage wrought by racism. While Walker does not sugarcoat the destructive history of racism that we all inherit in the United States, the book's vision is ultimately affirming, empowering, hopeful, and inclusive about the individual and collective power to heal our divisions and disconnections. Book Features: Presents a new way of understanding race as a relational dynamic and racism as a symptom of disconnection. Synthesizes, for the first time, two important systems of thought: relational-cultural theory and race/social identity theory. Includes "Pause to Reflect" exercises designed to stimulate group conversations in book clubs, social justice groups, staff development, classrooms, and workplace training. Offers practical, everyday solutions for people of different races to better understand and accept one another.

Her book, like the foundational relational-cultural theory that she helped to create, will resonate with readers. Open it anywhere and you will find stories that can inspire us to end, or at least interrupt, customary silences on race.” —Peggy McIntosh, Wellesley Centers for Women “Walker takes what is a very complex and emotionally charged subject and makes it accessible through her stories of working with White and Black professionals in both clinical and organizational settings.” —Linda A. Hill, Harvard Business School

Named one of "22 new books…that you should consider reading before the year is out" by Fortune "This practical and empathetic guide to taking the high road is worth a look for workers lost in conflict." — Publisher's Weekly A research-based, practical guide for how to handle difficult people at work. Work relationships can be hard. The stress of dealing with difficult people dampens our creativity and productivity, degrades our ability to think clearly and make sound decisions, and causes us to disengage. We might lie awake at night worrying, withdraw from work, or react in ways we later regret—rolling our eyes in a meeting, snapping at colleagues, or staying silent when we should speak up. Too often we grin and bear it as if we have no choice. Or throw up our hands because one-size-fits-all solutions haven't worked. But you can only endure so much thoughtless, irrational, or malicious behavior—there's your sanity to consider, and your career. In Getting Along, workplace expert and Harvard Business Review podcast host Amy Gallo identifies eight familiar types of difficult coworkers—the insecure boss, the passive-aggressive peer, the know-it-all, the biased coworker, and others—and provides strategies tailored to dealing constructively with each one. She also shares principles that will help you turn things around, no matter who you're at odds with. Taking the high road isn't easy, but Gallo offers a crucial perspective on how work relationships really matter, as well as the compassion, encouragement, and tools you need to prevail—on your terms. She answers questions such as: Why can't I stop thinking about that nasty email?! What's behind my problem colleague's behavior? How can I fix things if they won't cooperate? I've tried everything—what now? Full of relatable, sometimes cringe-worthy examples, the latest behavioral science research, and practical advice you can use right now, Getting Along is an indispensable guide to navigating your toughest relationships at work—and building interpersonal resilience in the process.
If he had been with me everything would have been different... I wasn't with Finn on that August night. But I should've been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it's not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know—the cause of the argument—is crucial. So let me tell you...

The Complexity of Connection by Judith V. Jordan,Linda M. Hartling,Maureen Walker Pdf
In this important third volume from the Stone Center at Wellesley College, founding scholars and new voices expand and deepen the Center's widely embraced psychological theory of connection as the core of human growth and development. Demonstrating the increasing sophistication of Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), the volume presents an absorbing and practical examination of connection and disconnection at both individual and societal levels. Chapters explore how experiences of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, and gender influence relationships, and how people can connect across difference and disagreement. Also discussed are practical implications of the theory for psychotherapy, for the raising of sons, and for workplace and organizational issues.

The Little Bird on your Shoulder by Katharine C. Giovanni Pdf
Ever walk into a room and it suddenly FEELS wrong? How about the person who had a feeling they should call their loved one, only to find out they passed away two hours after the call? Millions of people around the world hear their intuition in life-saving moments. What if you could tap into THAT? Everyone searches for answers. We have all reached that crossroad and wondered which road we should take. Which path leads to the most money? Health? Love? What if the answer to all these questions were right in front of you? In this life-changing book, Katharine Giovanni shows you how to hear that little bird on your shoulder. You know the one. It’s your inner voice, your intuition, your higher self. This book shows you how to use your intuition deliberately so you can really hear the answers. "This book is exactly what I needed to read at this point in my life. It gives practical tools to help you deal with & overcome your anger, bitterness, past trauma and finding joy. Most of us move through life just to survive. This book is helping me thrive, learn how to ask my angels to reveal answers in the way I can receive it and trust that little birdie, my gut, to lead the way. Thank you Katharine for an amazing book that I literally stopped what I was doing to answer the prompts and get on with the best of the rest of my life! " Precious L. Williams, CEO, Perfect Pitches By Precious, LLC "Katharine’s conversational tone throughout her story is so refreshing. I sat down and read the entire book in one sitting. This book gives you so many tips & suggestions on how to listen to your intuition, I wish I had read this book a few years ago! Her voice allows you to relate because you instantly feel like you know her & when she tells you “You Got This”, you believe her! She is honest about her own bumps on the road of life because we all have them. Thank you, Katharine for sharing your gift with the world. What an inspiration you are!

Katharine's stories were fascinating, the tips were excellent, and the exercises were very helpful. Congratulations on writing and publishing a much-needed example and resource to help others trust and utilize their intuition more!" Sandy Geroux, M.S., award-winning and motivational leadership speaker, trainer and author "As a paranormal investigator and student of the metaphysical for over 20 years, the concepts of intuition, inner voice, etc. are something that I have struggled with and embraced, in equal measure. I believe strongly that we all have the ability to “intuit” when we take the time to listen. In this book, Katharine Giovanni uses stories from her own life experience to simply, and matter-of-factly, explain the concepts and implementation of the intuition that we all possess. This book is the treasure in a sea of elaborate and flowery prose related to this topic. Katharine’s stories support her points in a way that was, for me, a joy to read. I really enjoyed it. If you are curious about, or doubt, the guidance you receive, this is a must-read." Jeffery Sullivan, Director, Sixth Sense Paranormal Investigations, San Antonio, TX "One of the things that I love about Katharine's writing is her straightforward, easygoing approach. I feel like she’s talking to me as I’m reading the book. She combines her personal stories and wit to explain how we all can access our intuition. Rather than keeping this wisdom a mysterious secret, she shares exercises in the back of the book so we can DIY! She wants her readers to know how to help themselves by using intuition. I believe that everyone, even the skeptics, can gain value reading this book. I highly recommend it." Susan Fitzell, Consultant, Author, Trainer & Speaker,
Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life—and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help—like AA and rehab—while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already." But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit. Written by counselor and therapist Dr. Lisa Bobby, Exaholics offers meaningful support and advice to anyone trapped in the obsessive pain of a broken, or dying, attachment. She helps the brokenhearted heal, showing them, on a deep level, how to develop a conceptual framework for their experience, understand the emotional processes at work inside themselves, find the path to recovery, and free themselves of shame, injured ego, and remorse. In-depth case studies of others' journeys will illuminate the way to future happiness.
Author : George R. Stewart Publisher : New York Review of Books Page : 305 pages File Size : 47,5 Mb Release : 2021-08-17 Category : Fiction ISBN : 9781681375199
A thrilling, innovative novel about the interplay between nature and humankind by the author of Names on the Land. With Storm, first published in 1941, George R. Stewart invented a new genre of fiction: the eco-novel. California has been plunged into drought throughout the summer and fall when a ship reports an unusual barometric reading from the far western Pacific. In San Francisco, a junior meteorologist in the Weather Bureau takes note of the anomaly and plots “an incipient little whorl” on the weather map, a developing storm, he suspects, that he privately dubs Maria. Stewart’s novel tracks Maria’s progress to and beyond the shores of the United States through the eyes of meteorologists, linemen, snowplow operators, a general, a couple of decamping lovebirds, and an unlucky owl, and the storm, surging and ebbing, will bring long-needed rain, flooded roads, deep snows, accidents, and death. Storm is an epic account of humanity’s relationship to and dependence on the natural world.
