Thanks again folks.

And when you hear from someone you have never met who tells you what you really like about the book - it's very special indeed.

This year I became a published author, and I will not forget the kindness of others who were in my corner.

Thank you to EVERYONE

I've been talking about this one for a while but thanks People Magazine for the nudge last week with the story on Ghost Jobs last week by Freddie Clemo.

But then to exploited at the other end too?

Next time you interview a young professional, just remember what they may have been through to sit at that table.

Yet this is experience of so many, including the Gen Z young professionals just trying to catch a break.

It's bad enough that there's almost 1 million not in education, employment or training.

Or that the number of job vacancies has reduced 40 months in a row.

The job didn't exist.

And the organisation may not have existed either.

It's a huge task for the big job boards to ensure the opportunities are real, and not just data harvesting. There's a lot of valuable information in CVs.

If you are going into 2026 wondering how you can hang on to your best young staff and bring new ones in - reading this is a good place to start.

Available everyone online you would expect to find it.

It is a good starting point.

The Snowflake Myth addresses both issues - 6 sub-myths underneath the main one in this graphic lovingly created by myself*.

For everyone who has followed these posts, clicked on a link, bought a copy or READ IT thank you thank you thank you. I so appreciate it all.

Also the ebook is now £2.99 for a limited period and the paperback has a VERY special deal. If you are a subscriber you will know but if you DM I will tell you!

Try before you buy? Free chapter available via my website.

The price may vary from one to the other (I don’t control it unfortunately) but approximately £8 seems typical. If you subscribe to a service it should be included.

Huge thank you to Shiggi Pakter for all audio editing and oversight and to Andrea Johnson at Troubador (publishers).

Audible, Amazon, Apple, Spotify, Storytel, Google Play, Kobo, Audiobooks.com (plus at least 50 others 😎) 

And yes I'm the narrator 🎤🔉

For anyone who listens to it all (or any of it) a VERY BIG THANK YOU!

And the ebook will be reduced to £2.99 on Friday.

But if you see this in Piccadilly Circus** - take a photo and send it to me.

Thanks for your support folks!

* Yes I KNOW it's AI - thank you Gemini

** You won't - once again, it's from Gemini.

Apple say Friday, Kojo says Thursday elsewhere a mix or it won't say until it's up.

BUT IT'S ABOUT TO BE UP.

Narrated by me - Sean Bean wasn't available.

What's more the book is available for a special Black Friday price of £8 inc P&P from my website.

And apologies Lisa Gilby after a long run of using an image you took and not crediting you I've finally remembered today! Go straight to Lisa when you need some images for your business.

The question isn't 'What's wrong with Gen Z?'

The question is 'Why would the calibre of young staff we need want to work here?'

If you can't answer that, the problem isn't the generation.

It's what you are offering to them.
