Sunday 2nd December - Life in Flight - the Journey

I write this Blog in absolute delight at seeing a close personal friend achieve what has been the culmination of a full year's hard work and an awesome milestone in his life.

Andrew is the proud author of "Life In Flight" (www.lifeinflight.com.au) which is based on a narrative of his life through over 18 years as a flight attendant right through to his Management position or as he describes it :

See what 18 years service, 10 million kilometres, 30,000 colleagues, 5 million passengers and 15,000 hours on a plane can teach you about life.

Along the way he shares with us many LIFE lessons and is able to through each of the anecdotes and stories relate a way that YOU can take action in your own life. I just spent the weekend reading it and was of course impressed with the content and user friendly information but more impressed with the man.

He has a full time career, is the husband and partner to his gorgeous wife and father of two children AND still he made time to write this book. There were many times we would sit over coffee and he would try to explain a situation that he had been involved with but until you see it in context you don't truly appreciate the labour of love this book is and was for him.

While many (I along with them) doubted that it would be easy to relate the significance of the journey he took he has done it - and done it well.

I stand corrected about any misgivings that I had for his ability to relate LIFE in a plane to LIFE on the planet - guess I was just missing the poin"T".

If you are a Manager, have a Manager, want to be a Manager or know a Manager then I would recommend you buy this book and read it.

Great work mate !
