Live and Let Work: A Guide to Enjoy Your Corporate Job
Live and Let Work: A Guide to Enjoy Your Corporate Job
by Tim Allard
Your calendar is overloaded with meetings. Your inbox is filled with unread email. You hear the ringing of buzzwords and corporate jargon in your head. In other words, it’s a typical workday.
Your job might be rewarding, and you might even enjoy your day, if not for these annoyances.
Isn’t this just 'normal’ for a corporate job? Does it have to be this way?
No. There is a better approach.
Live and Let Work is a new mindset for the corporate employee. It looks at all of the little things that we take for granted in the work environment - email, meetings, presentations, jargon, goals, and more - and frames them with a new perspective. A perspective that says we can gain control and even enjoy these things. A perspective that says we don't have to waste our lives being bored and overworked.
Live and Let Work begins by covering the following aspects of the corporate workday:
-
Email
-
Meetings
-
Presentations
-
Motivation and Efficiency
The book then covers a set of soft skills that are critical in the corporate job / work environment:
-
Word Choice
-
Jargon
-
Setting Expectations
-
Setting Goals
-
Be Yourself
This book is a call to action: Remove the obstacles from the corporate environment and replace them with the things that allow you to gain control and be effective. Make room to be yourself and enjoy your day. Learn to Live and Let Work!
