The Consummate Professional: How to Thrive in Your Professional Career and Enjoy It Along the Way

“I’m starting my career in a professional services firm, now what?”“There are all these unspoken rules but no one tells you about them…”“How do I advance and get to the top in my professional career?”Your professional career doesn’t come with a manual – until now.This book is written specifically for professionals like accountants, lawyers, management consultants, engineers, architects, surveyors, IT consultants, financial planners, and many others who provide professional services to clients.Professional services firms are special and peculiar workplaces. They operate on their own secret codes and unwritten rules. There are very few resources out there to teach you how to survive your career – let alone thrive in it. Young professionals are traditionally expected to learn the ropes under a ‘sink or swim’ approach and most end up running into brick walls.To reduce the number of bruises you give yourself as you muddle through your colourful but often complicated career, this book distils thirty years of professional services experience into digestible, bite-size insights and gives you no-nonsense advice that is easy to put into practice.If you’re looking for an experienced mentor who has lived the lessons in this book – and genuinely wants to help you succeed and thrive – look no further.
