Verified Purchase

Dr. Kathy Obear’s new book “Turn the Ride: Rise Above Toxic, Difficult Situations in the Workplace” offers the reader useful and realistic strategies to blossom effectively in our work place in contact with others, and successfully become the best version of ourselves. This book invites the reader to go deep, and explore our own triggers through the “Triggering Event Cycle”, and navigate our own “Intrapersonal Roots”, so that our personal life and our work life flow together in the best and smoothest way, for us and for those around us. As our work place and life have become a considerable part of who we are, this book is not only a necessary reference book for anybody who works with others, but also for anyone who desires to find a productive and peaceful common ground between heart and mind; in other words, Dr. Obear’s new book is a book for life.

Practical, interesting, and comprehensive guide to dealing with difficult workplace situations

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

Kathy Obear keeps the reader engaged with interesting and relatable examples and practical and comprehensive guidance about how to deal with difficult workplace situations. Her deep knowledge and considerable experience with these situations coupled with her skills at coaching in real life gives the reader a practical how to guide that can be put into practice immediately.

Each section of the book includes examples, a deeper explanation, and exercises that the reader can complete. An added bonus is the availability of more in depth examples and exercises on her website.

As a business coach, I appreciate the perspective that Kathy has and her breakdown of the issues, which I can apply immediately with my own clients. As someone who works in the business world (which is almost all of us) I appreciate the perspective that I can use for myself to lessen the impact of workplace triggers.

You know that feeling of regret that you have five minutes after you react too strongly to the behaviors of others? If you can identify with that, then this is the book you must read. Using relevant stories and real-life examples, Dr. Obear’s approach recognizes the challenge in changing the way we interpret situations and project intention onto others. Obear walks you through a process for examining the “Intrapersonal Roots” of your triggers and then practical exercises for exploring alternate ways of responding. Maintaining positive relationships with others is a crucial skill whether in the boardroom, team meeting, or one-on-one with a co-worker. Managing our emotions and reactions in these interactions is key to maintaining those relationships.

You can CHOOSE to rise above

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

Much like Kathy's presentations in person, I finished this book feeling empowered and excited to do better. The use of storytelling and vulnerability engages the reader in powerful reflection. Echoing sentiments of another of my favorite authors, Brene Brown, Kathy helps the reader unlock their own potential to manage their emotions in the workplace through recognizing they have a choice and can be intentional. Readers will be able to relate to the missteps and difficult situations shared in the book and learn how to take steps to truly rise above. My favorite part of the book is the guided reflection and activities; it goes beyond asking the reader to think about things and pushes them to take action.

Not what I was hoping for

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is written well and has good information, but its just not what I was hoping for. I understand my personal issues affect how I interpret and react to situations. I am sure that I learned some things from this book - - but there are some truly difficult interpersonal situations that are not as simple as "I can control myself". example - incessant whining, victim mentality, lying, ect... I was hoping to find tools to better manage those type of issues

Good strategies for work and life

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

I feel like Kathy’s book is just what I needed. I’ve had the honor of getting Kathy’s wisdom in person a few times, and this book is like having a one-on-one with Kathy anytime you need it. My great take-aways from this book are that we can all experience tension at work, but it doesn’t need to drain us, and we can practice ways to be more effective and less stressed while staying present and in our integrity. If you are feeling at all overwhelmed, frustrated or on your way to burn-out, I would strongly recommend this book. And, you can get the e-book for free on January 19th!

Wonderful guide for how to intentionally and thoughtfully respond when hot buttons get pushed!

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

Kathy is a master at giving creative solutions for helping deal with stressful work (or personal) situations that are likely to trigger unproductive interactions. She helps me realize that I hold the power to choose an intentional, thoughtful and more effective response when I realize one of my hot buttons has been pushed.

I especially appreciate her relatable examples and potential scenarios of how each situation can be handled with kindness and respect. Each trigger point is a new opportunity for more awareness, collaboration, healing and growth to express my best self. I now have a full toolkit for shifting my perspective and navigating any difficult dynamic that may arise!

This is over priced. Not worth for money which is more than enough.. discusses the problems rather than the solutions..

High expectations but nowhere near as good as expected.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was hoping that this book would give some solid techniques for dealing with toxic work situations but it's just another book putting all the blame on the victim! The book's main message seems to be "have a rethink and you'll realise it's all your fault and you're not being bullied at all". I feel I've wasted my money.
