Par Adriana Abenia. 2023
No necesitas ser perfecta, sino ser tú misma. La impactante confesión de la que todos podemos aprender. «Hace no demasiado…
tiempo habría sido impensable revivir las curvas de una época que no fue fácil, ni para la que creo que estuviera preparada». Hay momentos en la vida en los que parece que lo tienes todo, que el mundo te sonríe y que la suerte te acompaña allá donde vas. Momentos en los que parece que todos tus deseos se han hecho realidad. Y esa ilusión es tan grande que, por el camino, te olvidas de todo lo demás. La carrera de Adriana Abenia brillaba como nunca, pero un día algo puso su vida del revés. Durante años guardó celosamente aquel secreto, incluso se lo ocultó a las personas más cercanas, para que no fuera tan real.Hasta ahora. Tras más de una década, no solo ha conseguido levantarse, sino también aprender de la caída. Porque ¿todo vale para cumplir tu sueño?The Power of Story: Rewrite Your Destiny in Business and in Life
Par Jim Loehr. 2007
New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Power of Full Engagement, examines the way we tell stories about ourselves to…
ourselves and, most importantly, the way we can change those stories to transform our business and personal lives. "Your story is your life," says Loehr. As human beings, we continually tell ourselves stories—of success or failure; of power or victimhood; stories that endure for an hour, or a day, or an entire lifetime. We have stories about our work, our families and relationships, our health; about what we want and what we're capable of achieving. Yet, while our stories profoundly affect how others see us and we see ourselves, too few of us even recognize that we're telling stories, or what they are, or that we can change them—and, in turn, transform our very destinies. Telling ourselves stories provides structure and direction as we navigate life's challenges and opportunities, and helps us interpret our goals and skills. Stories make sense of chaos; they organize our many divergent experiences into a coherent thread; they shape our entire reality. And far too many of our stories, says Loehr, are dysfunctional, in need of serious editing. First, he asks you to answer the question, "In which areas of my life is it clear that I cannot achieve my goals with the story I've got?" He then shows you how to create new, reality-based stories that inspire you to action, and take you where you want to go both in your work and personal life. For decades, at the Human Performance Institute, Loehr has been examining the power of story to increase engagement and productivity, and Fortune 500 companies have paid millions to send employees to his program, in which he applies the principles and methods that he now offers in this book. Global business leaders, world-class athletes, military special forces, and thousands of individuals from every walk of life have sought out and benefited from his life-altering insight and expertise. Our capacity to tell stories is one of our profoundest gifts. Loehr's approach to creating deeply engaging stories will give you the tools to wield the power of storytelling and forever change your business and personal life.Dominique Ansel: The Secret Recipes

From her work with clients, the author has updated industry-specific complaint examples and added in new concepts, such as a process that enables employees to handle complaints with increased emotional resilience-something that is sorely needed since dealing with increasingly difficult customers is a common occurrence in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
