Rising Above Office Conflict

A Light-Hearted Guide for the Heavy-Hearted Employee

By Clare E Fowler

Are you being harassed? Micromanaged? Or just plain annoyed by your gum-chewing, music-playing, lunchstealing co-worker?

Rising Above Office Conflict is specifically geared towards women in the workplace and offers concrete suggestions for them to determine their boundaries and strategies for reinforcing those boundaries. Beginning with 15 common workplace personalities that you have likely encountered, experienced mediator Clare Fowler helps you to diagnose your situation, and provides empowering strategies for dealing with this situation and preventing future disputes. Managers, on the other hand, can learn how to design effective training, identify red flags, triage employee concerns, and build a healthy workplace.

Based on the latest research in the dispute resolution field, and decades of workplace mediation experience, this book provides a step-by-step guide for employees to resolve their own conflict.

By Victoria Wieck

South Korean-born entrepreneur Victoria Wieck is a unique American rags-to-riches success story. Her family arrived in America from South Korea when Victoria was only twelve years old. Victoria helped raise her four younger siblings while learning a new language, adapting to American culture, and pursuing her education. After leaving the corporate world, she started a jewelry company that survived and thrived amidst the catastrophic events of the last three decades and catapulted Victoria Wieck Jewelry to over $500 million in retail sales.

With Million Dollar Passion, Victoria pulls back the curtain on what it takes to start a business from the ground up and provides unique strategies she perfected through her own business journey. Wieck provides expert advice, insider tips, and her unique formula for success. Sprinkled throughout are in-the-trenches stories of how she clawed her way to the top. Honest and transparent, she identifies her mistakes and details how anyone can overcome and learn from them.
