You have it in you, you just need to switch it on

Life is too short to just come in for the paycheque

Let’s face it, you work for the best years of your life and
spend most of your waking hours on the job, so make sure you are
energized, fulfilled and buzzing. Switched On will help you
leap outside your comfort zone and awaken your creativity.

Blast through the old thinking

Switched On shows you how to think like an entrepreneur –
have ideas, spot the opportunities, see the future and make things
happen. The future belongs to fresh thinkers, so turn your
receptors on and get ready to bring the real you to work.

They’ll love you for it

Go on, unleash yourself – you’ll be surprised at how indispensable
you become. You have it in you – you just need to switch it
on

‘Not all of us can be great entrepreneurs but all of us can be
innovative and enterprising in whatever role we perform. This book
is a great guide and an inspiration on how to achieve this’ Miles

关于作者

Sahar Hashemi is author of the bestselling business book
Anyone Can Do It: Building Coffee Republic from Our Kitchen
Table.

Abandoning a successful career as a lawyer, Hashemi founded the
UK’s first US style coffee bar chain and went on to build it
into one of the UK’s most recognised high-street brands with
a turnover of £30m. Since selling the company Hashemi has gone
on to become a hit on the speaking circuit. Originally speaking at
entrepreneurial and business start-up events, it soon became
apparent that her experiences could motivate employees in larger
corporations and organisations. She now speaks at around 70 events
a year worldwide to companies including IKEA, Infosys, Accenture,
Glaxo Smith Kline, Microsoft and IBM.

Named by H.M. The Queen ‘Pioneer to the life of the Nation’ and the
World Economic Forum Davos as ‘Young Global Leader’, Hashemi has
