Helpful and motivating in equal measure. -- Susan Gatell * Careers Adviser, Cambridge University * The beauty of this book is that whatever stage you are at in your career, I believe the sound advice and case studies (based on extensive coaching and professional experience) are something that everyone can benefit from.
