‘Becoming a more successful and skilled communicator has never been more fun and relevant in today's business world. This book has a brilliant way of helping you think differently – and improve your performance – through engaging stories and insights that everyone can relate to. And, more importantly, actually do.

One of the authors (Andy) has helped my organization deliver a blockbusting performance over the last two years – through his language and techniques. In fact, we now use ‘AndyBounds' as an adjective in our organization to denote the very best way to communicate and get the outcome you desire – “that presentation isn't ‘AndyBounds’ enough” and so on.

Top Dog is an excellent book. It will help you become a more successful business person.'
