How can this book help you?

You may have been promoted because of your excellent technical ability - and are now struggling as you take on wider responsibilities in your new role.

You may have been told you won't be promoted until you work on your non-technical skills – skills such as managing others, business development and building strategic relationships.

Or you may be struggling to get decent advice about how to progress your career.

If this sounds familiar, then you are who I wrote this book for.

In my bestselling book Getting On: Making work work, I clearly lay out how you can master those non-technical skills, allowing you to successfully navigate professional life, progress and have greater career satisfaction.

This is your guide to remove those daily career stumbling blocks that are holding you back.

Joanna Gaudoin, Author, Getting On: Making work work.

“Ever wondered why you’re not progressing as you want in your career? This is a rare, comprehensive and very readable resource to help you with understanding yourself, the sometimes confusing world of work relationships and how to approach things differently. I wish I had been able to read it earlier.”

Pauline Freegard MBA, Legal Sector Consultant

“The book is a simple and practical guide to make both immediate changes at work and more strategic long-term changes in your career. I have completed the book and started using some of the more apparent tools -with success. However, the author advises to return to the book with your specific plan for improvement areas and to study the applicable sections again with the available online resources. I am looking forward to this step."

Miranda - Amazon reviewer

Joanna has a way of showing you things about yourself that seem obvious afterwards, but we sometimes miss because we can’t see the wood for the trees. I would encourage anyone, at any point in their career, even if senior, to read this book.

Joanna has created, in a relatively compact read, some compelling guidance and valuable development gems for professionals at any stage of their career. I wish I had read this book years ago but it is never too late to learn – the honesty, practical exercises and reflection suggestions will bring me back to this book again and again.
