Review :
"... a great page turner." (Project, September 2016) "This really should be your summer holiday reading." (PQ Magazine, August 2016) "Great Answers To Tough Questions is a great book for leaders and anyone ambitious in the workplace and 'task -orientated introverts' such as accountants or IT specialists who need to improve their conversation skills. Every briefcase and bookshelf should have a copy." (Daily Express, July 2016)
