Monday tips from Liz and Mollie: When you find yourself feeling very anxious in the face of uncertainty, try creating what teams at NASA call “Plans from which we deviate.” Figure out the 2-3 most likely future scenarios and map out a few specific steps next steps for each one.

Making a “plan from which you’ll deviate” can help you feel more confident and informed. It also creates realistic expectations; you won’t feel guilty when things don’t go perfectly and you’ll be more willing to see the journey as a learning experience. After all, no one can predict the future, and even the best-laid plans inevitably shift.

For more tips pre-order their new book, BIG FEELINGS, to restore your sense of control and make you feel less alone in the world!

The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic’s happiness columnist Arthur Brooks.

Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs.

What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success?

How to Talk to Your Boss About Race has been selected as an Amazon Best Nonfiction Book of the Month! https://amzn.to/3BakdKV

In a time when many people are tired of empty words, How to Talk to Your Boss About Race equips you to take a risk and take action. This is not your typical business book: it prepares you to change a culture as an individual even when you feel disempowered. It's part memoir, part heavily researched how-to guide with humor and profanity.

Author Y-Vonne Hutchinson draws on her experiences of "doing everything right" but still never quite fitting into any office environment—struggling to satisfy her bosses, and never receiving mentorship, guidance or much feedback at all.

Those experiences are a big part of the reason why she founded ReadySet, which today is one of the leading DEI consulting firms in the US. Her work at ReadySet, helping companies talk more productively about race and turn that talk into action, is what led Y-Vonne to write this book.

Take the Quizzes - Tessa West

Introducing a Buzzfeed-style quiz for the corporate professional! The “Am I a Jerk at Work?” quiz assess how you would respond to a series of tricky, hypothetical workplace situations. At the end, you’ll find out whether you’re a Conniving Trickster, Classic Jerk, just Going Through the Motions—or have been an Ideal Coworker all along.

It can also be fun to take these quizzes from the perspective of someone else at work (how would your boss respond to these questions?). And if you're really bold, have your coworkers take it as if they were you. It can be a great way to see how others at work perceive you.

At some point, everyone encounters one: a jerk at work.

Maybe your jerk was a credit-stealing colleague or a micromanaging boss. You could have worked with a jerk at an after-school job, or at the highest levels of business or academia. The fact is, jerks are out on the prowl in workplaces of all kinds, seeking opportunities to interrupt, belittle, or outright bulldoze their colleagues.

That’s why we’re thrilled to publish the first field-guide to these unpleasant colleagues: JERKS AT WORK: Toxic Coworkers and What to Do About Them by Tessa West, a social psychologist and professor at New York University.
