9 in 10 women experience ill mental health from poor life-work balance This book is for working women who feel dissatisfied with life, and who want to reinvent themselves to lead successful and fulfilling lives, in their personal life and at work. Our changing and challenging times have left many of us, and especially women, feeling burnt out, chronically worried and uncertain. At the same time, it's difficult to overstate just how much attitudes towards emotional wellbeing have changed in the last five years. As more and more of us struggle about how to exist in this unstable environment, question arise such as: How do you behave if you have a leadership role, given the unattractive role models we see currently in the US and elsewhere? What do you do as a mother when your children tell you they learnt at school that there will be a world war? The change is that women want a life that has meaning and purpose and there's more willingness to call out prejudice and predatory behaviour. Yet many of the same old problems persist. All of this is a case for stressing the importance of emotional connection, creativity and open-mindedness: attitudes and behaviours that will be at the heart of this timely book from pioneer coach, Jenny Rogers.

Life is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition. Shouldn’t you spend it doing something you love? This book will teach you how to find your dream job and avoid a career you’ll regret—from a leading venture capitalist, based on his viral college talk. “Fantastic. A variety of useful insights and examples that converge into one story that underlies remarkable success in nearly any field: The relentless hunger to learn about the thing you love.”—James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits For many young people, the path to success feels like a conveyor belt—onto the next test, the next application, the next college—without ever stopping to ask what do I actually want to do with my life? Parents know the pressure can be overwhelming, yet the system pushes everyone forward anyway. After college Bill Gurley landed a job at a famous tech company. It should have been a dream come true—but he was surprisingly bored. So, Gurley leapt into the unknown, eventually finding his place in the world of venture capital, the beginning of a remarkable investing career. It turns out, Gurley’s happy ending is rare. Nearly six in ten people would do things differently if they could start over. This is the trap of “career regret.” So how can we avoid it? What can we learn from people at the top of their fields who love what they do? The culmination of Gurley’s decade-long project to unpack the components of success, Runnin’ Down a Dream identifies six principles to flourish in your chosen career: the antidotes to career regret. From developing “obsessive” curiosity to the art of building strong peer groups, these timeless principles add up to a playbook not just for success, but a purpose-filled life.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book is open access, What makes people competent at work? This question is becoming complicated with the emergence of new technologies and the hastened pace of global economic exchanges. While there is less consensus about what people should know and be able to do to be rewarded in the workplace, the discussion about skills and competencies becomes even hotter among those who express concern about the gaps between the demands and supplies of "skilled" workforces.
&nbsp;
Given this situation, one of the main objectives of this book is to clarify the true nature of often-discussed "skills gaps", using the cases of manufacturing workers in the Global South. Instead of discussing the issues based on a broad, ambiguous understanding of human abilities, after an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature and theorization, the book proposes a detailed classification of cognitive, non-cognitive (including socio-emotional skills and personality traits), and technical abilities. Then, it presents both contextually relevant and generalizable explanations about relationships among them. By doing so, the volume offers insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking ideas to reform their human resources development policies and practices.
&nbsp;
The second objective of the volume is to propose the analytical perspective of Realist-Constructivism, using the "skills gaps" analysis as the empirical case, to demonstrate its theoretical, conceptual, and practical capacities to overcome the dichotomy between induction and deduction through abductive reasoning with a set of instruments to collect data that enable such analysis.
&nbsp;
Empirical surveys, using a set of questionnaires and skills assessment we developed, were conducted in four countries in the Global South: Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and Pakistan. With Realist-Constructivism, we can consider work-related competencies in close relation to the specific workplace requirements and culture, while situating them within broader industrial, economic, and regulatory frameworks. Our methods and instruments enable us to link the subjective epistemologies of competencies among individuals in the micro-ecologies of the workplace with the ontological realities of labor market opportunities and evaluations.

Mitigating the “Skills Gaps”

Bikulturalität ist für immer mehr Menschen in westlichen Ländern ein zentraler Teil ihres Alltags. 
 Bikulturalität: Lost in Cultures?
 ist ein unverzichtbarer Beitrag zum tieferen Verständnis dieses Lebens in zwei Kulturen. Karin Schreiner geht der Frage nach, welche Auswirkungen die Sozialisierung in zwei Kulturen auf die Identität einer Person hat. Wie kann sie beide Kulturen in ihrer Identität in Einklang bringen? Wie erfolgt die Entwicklung von Bikulturalität, um ein kohärentes und konsistentes Ich im Spannungsfeld beider Kulturen auszubilden?
 Im Zentrum stehen Gespräche mit knapp 50 bikulturellen Personen, die einen Einblick geben, welche Wege sie gingen und gehen, um ihre beiden Kulturen in Einklang zu bringen und ihre bikulturelle Identität zu entwickeln. Ihre Interviews bringt die Autorin mit einer umfangreichen Recherche in den Bereichen Psychologie, Sozialpsychologie und Sozialanthropologie zusammen. So eröffnet sich auch ein Blick auf den gesellschaftlichen Rahmen des individuellen Aushandlungsprozesses, den ein weites Spannungsfeld zwischen kultureller Zugehörigkeit und sozialer Abgrenzung, Diskriminierung, globaler Mobilität und kulturellen Anpassungsprozessen beeinflusst. Ebenso wird der Umgang mit Mehrsprachigkeit ausführlich in den Gesprächen thematisiert, zeigt sie sich doch als untrennbar mit Bikulturalität verbunden.Deutlich wird, dass der bikulturelle Hintergrund von Menschen ein großer Mehrwert ist: Mit ihrem verinnerlichten Wissen aus verschiedenen Kulturen und Kenntnissen in meist zwei oder sogar mehr Sprachen können bikulturelle Menschen in besonderem Ausmaß Brückenbauer*innen zwischen Kulturen sein. Im gesellschaftlichen und beruflichen Miteinander stellen diese Fähigkeiten ein wichtiges, ja unverzichtbares Potenzial dar. Bikulturalität erweist sich so als zukunftsweisende Ressource für Individuen und die Gesellschaft.

Eine unerkannte Ressource in unserer globalisierten Gesellschaft
