"Glenn Devey presents a range of strategies to help us in this development. His engaging style, his authentic appreciation of the challenges this presents and his enthusiastic encouragement to us all make this book a very accessible and enjoyable read. He draws on his own experiences with a refreshing honesty and his highly developed coaching and mentoring skills are in evidence as he encourages us to think for ourselves and work things out through experience as opposed to calling on us to simply take his word for it."
