Reviews
"The Public Servant's Guide is skillfully written, wry and sometimes funny."
-- Holly Doan * Blacklock's Reporter, March 2, 2019 *"[This is] a book that every new and aspiring public servant should have in their learning library. Small but mighty in its 108 pages, The Public Servant's Guide provides lots of tips, advice, and learning that would take a few years on average to accumulate."
