Packed with real-life strategies for engaging even the most difficult people, "A Survival Guide for Working with Humans" includes interactive quizzes, true-to-life problem and conflict scenarios, and helpful profiles of common personality types.

Her book provides new insights for all of us who occasionally have days when we'd rather stay in bed than face our coworkers' behaviors". (Shari Dunn, Managing Principal, CompAnalysis)".
