Shoot for PAR!

Loneliness and isolation in the workplace hurt employee health and well-being—and the bottom line.

All the Lonely People

There are many books focused on career development in the ATD bookstore, but I thought I’d highlight a few that are on my summer reading list. What's more, ATD is having a Midsummer Book Sale! One day only—Tuesday, August 4—you can get 20% off all in-stock ATD books. And from August 5–14, all 2015 book releases will be 20% off. _The Self-Aware Leader_By Dan Gallagher and Joseph Costal The Self-Aware Leader was given to me by a friend before I came to work for ATD to use as a tool in my career coaching practice. I found its practical lessons on becoming more self-aware as a manager were beneficial for me as well as my clients. It offers insights regarding aspects of your management career, including which characteristics drive desirable leadership outcomes and personal success. **_Career Moves 3rd Edition_**By Annabelle Reitman and Caitlin WilliamsUpdated in 2013, Career Moves by career experts Caitlin Williams and Annabelle Reitman, shows you how to create your dream career by using practical planning exercises and techniques.

Why? Over the course of a decade, positive psychology authority Dr. Beth Cabrera has surveyed and interviewed more than a thousand women to gather insight into how to effectively balance career and family responsibilities. In Beyond Happy: Women, Work, and Well-Being, she gathers her essential findings and offers women proven strategies for living more authentic, meaningful lives. Helpful self-assessments guide you toward feeling good and doing good, and each chapter delivers tried-and-true tactics that real women have used to manage the difficulties of fulfilling their multiple, often conflicting, roles.
