The Adventures of Johnny Bunko

What a title, eh? It’s an educational graphic novel. No, not a schoolbook as such, but a career guide to the world of work.

Johnny starts work and learns the 6 secrets of a successful career (and life, of course). These secrets are (to spoil the story for you):

1.    There is no plan
2.    Think strengths, not weaknesses
3.    It’s not about you
4.    Persistence trumps talent
5.    Make excellent mistakes
6.    Leave an imprint

I’ll leave you with a telling episode that spills the beans on the power of persistence. It would make a fabulous school assembly.
