"In this expertly crafted book, Carolyn Parry shows how she enabled seven achievers to identify and overcome thieves ... such as Perfectionism, Comparison, Approval-Seeking, Overwhelm, Depletion, Disconnection and Burnout ... Rich in research and references, it provides a guide to each thief, its influence in the workplace and effect on individuals depending on their age, gender, neurodivergence, socio-economic status and cultural and ethnicity perspectives. If you work in career development, careers education, executive coaching or HR, investing time in reading this book will definitely be well spent. You may also find that some of the thieves resonate with your own situation and can then utilise the practical strategies for your own self-care and career wellbeing. As someone who worked in the career development sector for forty years, many of which in senior professional roles, I have no hesitation in recommending this book. Its content will inspire and educate you, aid your own professional reflection and enable you to help your clients find their wings and fly off to a life in which they will thrive."
