That one day gave me valuable insights into what had caused the disaster, my role in the disaster, and the changes I needed to make to safeguard myself going forward. The 'aha' moments I had that day are all contained in these valuable pages. Reading them now, I'm so grateful for Niven's wisdom and guidance. And I'm so proud of the progress I've made since then. Read this book!"<br /> <em>Jenefer Morgan (CA)SA, MBA, Head: People, <br /> Boost & Co, United Kingdom</em><br /> <br /> "For many professionals, networking and office politics are "Four Letter Words" - hissed under one's breath. Worse, insecurity and resentment around these topics means capable people miss out on opportunities for which they're well positioned. Niven brings her breadth of experience - multi-discipline, multi-national, multi-cultural - to offer an integrated approach to office politics. She demystifies the "why" and the "how" so professionals can have more influence, get more done and experience more satisfaction at work - and arguably outside work, too. Reading this book was like the best seminar with Niven - fun, thought-provoking and highly action-oriented. I highly recommend it."<br /> <em>Greg Durst, Managing Director, Corporate Development & Events, <br /> Institutional Limited Partners Association, Canada</em></p><br>
