How to Work with Anyone

De: Raluca Graebner, The Great Courses

Narrado por: Raluca Graebner

Interacting with people at work can be one of life’s greatest joys—and greatest frustrations. Some coworkers never trust us to do our jobs, or never respond to requests for information, or waste our time with dozens of unnecessary emails. The cost: our work results and personal sanity.

How can you approach workplace interactions with more empathy and less resentment? How can you become more successful when working with “annoying” or “difficult” coworkers? In How to Work with Anyone, you’ll dive into what psychology, communication, and business can teach you about developing effective, gratifying relationships at work.

Raluca Graebner, an executive coach and expert in interpersonal dynamics, uses real-life examples from clients, colleagues, and herself to help you navigate interpersonal differences and access empathy and compassion. You’ll learn why mindset is the key to any workplace collaboration, how to cultivate trust-filled relationships with coworkers, and how to assert your needs and protect your boundaries. In addition, you’ll build a toolkit to influence effectively and to navigate conflict, as well as to stay centered when triggered by a colleague.

Working with other people starts—and ends—with you. And in that full circle sits this insightful, enriching Audible Original.

Practical and useful

Practical and useful - this audible original provides suggestions and structure I can use in my daily life to be more effective and collaborative

Great presentation of important advice

Engaging speaker with empathy and excellent examples Graebner makes you think-and think well about your work environment within 30 mins I had applied some of her advice and it
Changed how I viewed- and interacted with - a colleague I hope Graebner does more lessons

Rememeber that people have the right to ask for help (don't get upset) but it is also out right to say no.

Its very relevant to our daily interactions whether at work or in personal relationships. Concise, easy to practice guide. I like it that it is short enough, I can complete listening soon enough but I can also come back and re-listen if I want to.
Thank you to Raluca for putting this good piece of work together

Amazing Short Great Course! Worth Listening

This great course is so well structured, and the delivery is impeccable.
I am actually listening to it on repeat, and have made it my commuting audio book to listen over and over.

Profound tactics for dealing with people and some insight for dealing with self and your own triggers.

This book gives out a multitude of mechanisms to cope with people in the business world. Most of the examples and strategies are best utilized in the business world but they can certainly be adapted to private life. Different ways of coming to agreement or convincing others are laid out. Ways to deal with conflict are also laid out and the last chapter takes the time to describe some meditation techniques. This book contains a great parable about a guy meditating in a boat and getting mad when another boat hits his boat only to realize the other boat was empty. That the anger he felt came from within and that he has triggers that he has to come to terms with to become a better version of himself. This book is all about coming together in the world and manipulating the landscape to achieve peace and balance in your life. Another insightful technique is to imagine a bottle between two people when in an argument and all their hateful words going into the bottle but not into you. In some cases you can hear what they are saying and acknowledge them and in other cases you can realize that's just how this person is and they are incredibly toxic: that it's not you but them and you don't have to take these words into your psyche.

Delightful!

I’m glad I tuned in to this audible original. Raluca is so eloquent, insightful, and very delightful! Helped put some things into perspective. My only wish is that early on when she discusses the importance of asking for things and laying out boundaries, she doesn’t give an example on how to do it. I have struggled with those two aspects my entire life due to childhood upbringing and trauma. Hearing exactly what is the best approach to lay out boundaries would make this lecture even stronger, but it doesn’t detract from it either.

improve your relationships now...

there is such good information here, you are surely able to learn how to improve those relationships and make yourself a better human. My favorite chapter was dealing with people who triggers you...

Great Book!

It is wonderful book for anyone who is lacking a source which to draw from and provides an alternative to a spiritual connection.
After going through this intense reading/listening/dialogue it provides a wealth of info manage oneself outside a spiritual connection.

All of the recommendations are practical and a good starting point. Nevertheless, it does requires the parallel understanding and partnership from both parties to have significant impact on the journey for improvement.
