Careering On: Lessons from a Life in Further Education

Ambition. Daring. And blind luck.

In this candid, witty, often nail-biting memoir, the author shares the highs, lows, and sleepless nights of climbing the career ladder to become a leader in further education. With equal parts chutzpah, triumph, and near catastrophe, this memoir is a testament to resilience, pushing boundaries, and learning (usually only through hindsight) when to exercise caution.

From secretly building an office over a weekend to building a university, these stories capture the thrill of ambition, the weight of responsibility, and the fine line between daring and disaster. Readers are invited to laugh, cringe, and think how they would handle similar situations.
