Practical Career Guides

Straightforward help for the career problems nobody really teaches you how to handle.

Careers come with a lot of situations you’re somehow expected to know how to deal with.

Asking for more money. Trying to get promoted. Managing a difficult boss. Being put on a PIP. Deciding whether to quit. Getting made redundant. Starting somewhere new.

Most of us figure this stuff out while we’re actually going through it.

I’ve created 15 practical career guides, each focused on one specific problem. They’re based on more than 20 years working across recruitment, Talent Acquisition and leadership, including years spent on the other side of the workplace decisions employees don’t normally get to see.

No motivational career-coach fluff. No enormous ebooks padded out to justify the price.

Just practical advice, scripts, frameworks and tools designed to help you work out what’s actually happening and what to do next.

Every guide is £7.
