“ …. not only was it full of useful ideas and techniques, but the style and "realness" of it made it hugely enjoyable. The chapter on your business career to date was "unputdownable", hearing about peoples lives is always the most interesting part of any book and the way you then linked your lessons to stuff later on was very good.” Managing Director, Specialist News Service “ you have certainly adopted a new and interesting style – reflecting your practical experience and much more interesting than the self-appointed experts who base their pontification on research alone.”
