Praise for Working Well

A comprehensive guide to reducing workplace stress.

This latest book from corporate trainer and consultant, Berryman (Nine Strategies for Dealing With the Difficult Stuff, 2016) aims to help readers identify the effects of stress in their own lives and in those of the people around them. She then offers ways for readers to change their responses to stress, reduce it, and increase their productivity. Berryman's strategies draw on the author's personal experience helping clients in her private practice.

In all cases, Berryman emphasizes enhancing self-awareness and taking the time to step back and notice harmful and beneficial patterns. This comes into sharpest focus in a chapter on creating positive new habits; she describes habits, in general, as "the brain's way of saving energy," and throws light on the fact that many stress-inducing elements are, in fact, merely bad habits--which are, of course, susceptible to change. She also notes that people often don't realize how much power they're giving away to harmful people and situations; in essence, the steps that she outlines here effectively aim at taking that power back.

A thought-provoking and optimistic set of tactics for stress elimination.

Kirkus Reviews

This is not just a leadership book for work it’s a blueprint for a life well-lived. The twelve gifts that Stephanie Berryman offers allow you to bring out the best in yourself and in others. Berryman embraces stress as a real part of our lives and then provides the reader with the keys to positively transform how you live.

The book is as much a story as it is a reference guide and a life hack that you will keep on your desk at work or at home.
