About the Book

The Treasure Punt is a delightfully-written and illustrated book in which corporate storyteller and human resources strategist Peter Christie uses the anecdotal form to bring home some important lessons for those on both sides of the job market: recruiters and people looking to be recruited. Christie's central metaphor is that of a pirate Captain (Captain Black-bug), representing a leader of a company, who sails the seven seas on his ship (The Bountiful), looking for treasure. Along the way Black-bug encounters many adventures, each of which teaches him something about making the best of his crew, and experiences, to maximise his material gain. If you read The Treasure Punt as a recruiter, you will find some powerful tools for bringing the right talent on-board in your organisation, and if you are a candidate, for making yourself a desirable workplace treasure. The book is a rollicking good read that will have you chuckling into your coffee cup, making complicated scenarios that stalk business seem simple and approachable, and imparting a sense of can-do confidence and savoir-faire.

About the Author :
Peter Christie a.k.a. Big Chief Talking works independently as a strategic storyteller, a treasure hunter in executive search recruitment, and business school lecturer in organisation development.

Review :
"Peter Christie introduced me to the power of storytelling as a tool for getting messages of all kinds across, so when he suggested we run a series of pirate tales in the Star Workplace as way to tell readers about the pitfalls of job hopping and headhunting, I leapt at the idea. It's been a great ride and now, two years later those tales are collected in The Treasure Punt. They contain a huge volume of wisdom, and are a lot of fun at the same time." Theo Garrun, Editor: The Star Workplace
