Reviews

I'm confident this book will be an incredible read! Reflecting on my university days, I realise how many valuable lessons I still apply in my daily life. Those experiences shaped my approach to learning and growth, and this book feels like a continuation of that journey. Liyakath Hussain I know John from my time at the University of Derby as a mature student. John's lectures were a real highlight because of the personal experience he could add from his own career. He pushed me to review my own situation and, following the models and advice in this book, my career progressed into a fantastic role with a brilliant company. It was a life-changing journey. If you need some guidance, some models and some motivation, then this is the book for you! Highly recommended! John, I can't wait to get the first copy delivered to the Czech Republic! I truly enjoyed your lectures at the University, and based on what you shared with me, I've built my career. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to chapter 24! Lukas Vaclavik
