Format:Paperback
Brilliant, this book is great for anyone going through a big change like redundancy or even if you just want to re-evaluate your situation. Wendy's writing is completely unique and her referrals to the characters in the Wizard of Oz communicates the point in a down to earth way with a touch of humour. Highly reccomended.

The Yellow brick road is a story we are all familiar with and the fact that Dorothy had a difficult journey down it, but never gave up and got there in the end, gives empathy to this book. It's easy to read and relate to. You hear yourself saying "Yes that's me! Yes I do that!". It read well and enjoyed it, Wendy's skill in writing means you can almost touch the feeling of 'I can achieve!'. Go on read it and you'll find yourself saying "OK world...I'm ready...bring it on!".

I have read so many self-help, motivational and coaching books during my career and it takes a lot these days for me to put my hands in my pocket and add to my book collection, but 'Discover Yourself on the Yellow Brick' road is brilliant.
Wendy's easy style with valuable, punchy points coming at you thick and fast means that I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make more sense of this amazing journey called life. Not only from a career perspective, but also for your personal development as well.
