Trade Review"It has taken 40 years in business, including numerous courses and education sessions for me to understand what I didn't know in Confidence at Work. I just wish I had read it towards the beginning of my career and not towards the end." * Larry Hirst, ex CEO of IBM *
"Professor Taylor's book is a cut above the average "self-improvement"/"motivational" shtick. It is thoughtful and if you'll take time to consider the implications of what's being said, quietly profound." * Customer review *
"Confidence at Work is another superb self development guide book from Ros Taylor" * Customer review *
