Reihe: Work in Progress

Understanding others, having empathy and showing emotional intelligence are critical in the workplace.

Those entering the workforce often haven't been prepared with the tools and techniques to effectively develop these skills in a working environment, however, despite them being critical for success. Read the Room shows you how to build the ability to be empathetic and use human intelligence to interpret meaning, manage relationships and think critically.

The transition from education to employment is one which widens the array of individuals you work with, report into and support, internally and externally. Once you understand how to work with empathy, you'll understand how to thrive in your new professional setting.

You don't have to have it all figured out. Work in Progress is a series for anyone building confidence at work, whether you're stepping into a new role, switching paths or figuring things out as you go. These books help you build essential skills like speaking up, navigating setbacks and working with mentors, all without the pressure. Straightforward and practical, they make sense of the things no one teaches you, like what "professional" actually looks like. No jargon. Just real advice to help you grow with confidence, at your own pace. Because learning how to work is part of the job.
