Kristin Neff changed how we talk about self-care with her enormously popular first book, Self-Compassion. Now, 10 years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce.

Have you ever asked yourself why some people are more successful than others? What is it that makes them leaders that stand out in the crowd? Their work ethic and personality could be contributing factors, but that is only one part of the story. The rest of the story is one that only emotional intelligence can tell. We are emotional. Sometimes, we respond based on those emotions. We even make decisions based on those emotions. Whether it turns out to be a good thing or not depends entirely on the way we learn how to control these emotions.

Publisher's Summary
Between the extremes of passive and aggressive styles is an effective, winning management approach - the assertive style. Assertive doesn't mean overbearing, pushy, or autocratic. It's a valuable, balanced approach that assures you'll handle people, get things done, and communicate - all in the same level-headed, confident manner. Understand the three styles of management. Specify what you need, when you need it, and the quality you receive. Motivate others to perform as expected. Learn the skills that guarantee you'll leap the hurdles you face everyday, earn more respect at work, and feel better about your role as leader.
Learn how to understand the three styles of managing; specify what you need, when you need it, and set quality standards; motivate others to perform as expected; master the four R's of assertion; prepare for conflict and never be caught off guard again; negotiate conflict in the workplace; and communicate assertively and effectively.

Seminar
Great listening but there are sections that keep referencing to pages of a book that participants have. Listening to audio we do not have the luxury. If these were cut out of the audio it would be a better listen. There is a part towards the end that goes for about 5 minutes referring to pages.
