Who moved my blackberry? - Kellaway, Lucy

Written by Lucy Kellaway, this is not a coaching book per se, but a satire presented in the form of emails and text messages exchanged between the main character Martin Lukes and the various people in his working and personal lives.

The book tracks Martins life over the course of a year during which he recieves a twelve month 'bronze executive coaching programme' from Pandora his life coach.

This is the long description of the book offered by the publishers...written as though from the main man Martin himself...

"Hi! Let me introduce myself. I'm Martin Lukes, Special Projects Director at A-B Global (UK). In your hands is a highly unique book, which pushes the envelope literature-wise. As you will see, it is a 120 per cent honest account of a year of my life - a phenomenal year of personal progress, corporate scandal and marital drama. It not only chronicles my promotion to one of the foremost executive positions globally, but is also a profound journey of personal learning, aided and abetted by my coach, Pandora. I am often asked why I want to share my deeply private philosophies with such a wide audience. I always say, it is because I am passionate about learning. I have grown from my own mistakes, both in the professional space and the personal one, and I believe that there are many key takeaways for you here too. "Who Moved My BlackBerry[trademark]?" is a creovative[trademark] work - to use a phrase of mine that has now entered the business lingo. I anticipate it will be the must-read of 2005. All my very bestest, Martin."
