Well done!

“I applaud Ben and Joel for their new book called Your Best Self at Work. They approach the topic in a clever way by introducing the main character Sam struggling in her new role as a manager. Sam confronts many of the challenges that a new manager faces regarding work performance and expectations of her team but like so many new managers despite her best intentions, her approach is not always effective.

This book is different in that it takes a deep look at the impact on the manager Sam first and foremost addressing what it is like for Sam to experience a lack of confidence, lack of support from her leaders, and the level of disappointment that she feels.

More importantly, the book provides the reader with a way to address this and to build emotional resiliency so one is better equipped to handle these types of situations. I also like the end-of-section reflection points that are built into the book. This allows the reader to stop and check-in and address the important points addressed before reading further.”
