When you write a book your publisher gives you a few free author copies. Most of them are being given to people who helped me write it. But I have 1 spare. I’ll give it to someone after the 28th Feb. Retweet & follow to be in with a chance! 🌞
My new book is out later this month! I’m loving the cover. I’ve already arranged some CPD insets on this Get in touch if you’d like your staff to receive a session full of useful, practical strategies. #CPD
