John's talks never fail to inspire; the advice he gives is always very well received, insightful and most importantly, of a practical nature. From both my own personal perspective and that of our delegates, I can't recommend How to Get a Job You Love enough!"

And productivity and creativity come when we are passionate about our work. If you are not, work out how to be - read John's book."
