Review Quotes

"Isidora Torres is opening the conversation that has been missing in the workplace for far too long. I feel more equipped than ever to approach my work with empathy and humanity. Working With Feelings is a must read--for everyone." - Dan Boatman, @dan.reads.books

"Isidora Torres' book Working With Feelings is a great read for anyone interested in how their workplace culture is experienced. While most business books are written from the perspective of top executives, Torres shares the lens of those executing on their company's strategy, not necessarily those setting it. A sometimes raw exploration of the impact of corporate culture, manager behavior and policy communication, Torres has done her research and methodically unpacks the touch points where organizations have--and missed--the opportunity to demonstrate how strongly they value their employees." - Jenna Young, EVP at Weber Shandwick

"Working With Feelings explains that we communicate on two planes at the same time: one rational, the other emotional. If you ignore the emotional signals you're getting you simply won't communicate very well." - Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor and Just Work
