Rezensionen

"Make Your Own Map is an absolute gift - to yourself, to your best friends, to your mentees. It is the guide I've being searching for when trying to help others define their journey and their destination. Kathryn Bishop's application of corporate strategy at an individual level not only facilitates an effective, adaptable and practicable "strategy for you", it also details the real-world implementation and experimentation necessary to realise your strategic purpose. Applicable to all, but mindful of the particular work-home challenges women may face during the evolution of their career, this is a guide to read with relish - and revisit!"
