'Reading this book and having completed the exercises has made me question how intentional I really am, not just in my career, but in my life, and how much of where I am today is due to osmosis as opposed to intent. It has also reinforced for me how important it is to celebrate successes and to take control of both your career and your life. Most importantly, the EDGE model has taught me to take a fresh look at what matters most to me in my work environment and in my life more broadly in order to redefine what success looks like on my terms. I loved the line success is really an inside job and am now actively working on ditching my inner critic !' Louise O'Connell, Chief Customer Officer, Fenergo 'The real benefit of this book comes from reflecting as you finish each chapter. This is a book I will come back to time and time again. I will check-in regularly to remind myself of my journey and ensure I am true to myself and my vision and roadmap.' Louise Kennedy, Project Manager, Microsoft 'I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to really look at themselves and their career development. It gives practical support on how to look at your career goals and see what drives you. Really useful and practical.' Denise Hayes, HR Manager, Global Food Group 'I found the book really helpful to identify areas that I can improve on my communication with more technical colleagues and functions generally.' Rachel Wooley, Global Director, FinTech
