The Edge

The Edge: how the best get better – Michael Heppell

(Hodder & Stoughton, £13.99)

This isn’t a book about living on the edge. It’s about having “the edge”, defining your own unique selling point and what makes you brilliant. With just one look at the content list, you’ll know this is worth a read.

It has values for life, as well as tips for asking great questions and dealing with setbacks, to name a few of the chapters. These are all topics that a great PA should find interesting and are relevant to personal development. If you want to get ahead in your career, this is definitely the kind of thing you should pick up.

Throughout the book there are lots of tips on how you can increase your worth to a company and make yourself invaluable. If you’re short on time, you can flick through the chapters and find the ones that will be of the most use to you. By the end of the book you’ll think and act differently and you’ll have found your own edge.
