1. Live Your Values: Becoming Your Best Self at Home, Work, and Play

Much discontent in our careers can be traced to lacking clarity of purpose and connection to others. Frequently, we feel we are in less-than-ideal situations because of lack of communication on both sides. By clearly identifying our values and purpose, we can live a more enjoyable life in and out of work.

2. Creating Concrete Solutions for a Better Workday

Opportunities and options exist in all circumstances, but sometimes the hardest part is identifying them and figuring out what is possible. This chapter will start by brainstorming possible opportunities and determining how to make them feasible.

3. Communicating for the Win-Win: The Initial Meeting

Communicating with our employer doesn’t have to be a one-sided, stressful process. There are ways to communicate, negotiate, and problem-solve that strengthen the relationship.
