IF YOU ONLY KNEW

WHEN BLIND TRUST FAILS

What does it really take to break into one of the world's most dynamic industries when no one in your family has ever worn a suit to work, attended a networking event, or set foot inside a corporate office? This book answers that question through the voices of the people who lived it. FROM COUNCIL ESTATES TO CORPORATE BOARDROOMS From factory floors and care homes to Microsoft headquarters and executive suites, Smashing the Class Ceiling gathers the candid, inspiring, and sometimes surprising stories of nineteen senior professionals who built extraordinary careers in the UK IT Channel starting with nothing but grit, curiosity, and determination. These aren't sanitised success stories. They're real accounts of: → Growing up in council houses, single-parent households, and foster care → Navigating imposter syndrome, code-switching, and the invisible barriers of class → Building careers without degrees, networks, or safety nets → Finding mentors, seizing lucky breaks, and learning to back yourself &gt;NINETEEN VOICES. ONE SHARED STARTING POINT. Meet Steven Mullaghan, who went from a Northern Ireland council estate and a bus-building apprenticeship to leading social mobility initiatives at Microsoft. Discover Natalie Hailey's journey from a Subway sandwich artist working late-night shifts in Watford to becoming an award-winning People Services Director. Learn how Toni Kent grew up on a Basingstoke council estate, lost her father at fourteen, and built a career spanning Microsoft leadership and international stages as a keynote speaker. Follow Dr Colin Williams, a gifted Black child who faced exclusion in two ways, as he earned his doctorate and became a champion for inclusion in tech. Hear from Mark Ash, kicked out of his home in sixth form and living in a bedsit, who became Chief Revenue Officer at Konica Minolta and a giant-killer in enterprise sales. And meet fourteen more leaders whose stories prove that resilience, authenticity, and hard work can take you anywhere. MORE THAN INSPIRATION, IT'S A ROADMAP Smashing the Class Ceiling isn't just a collection of interviews. It's a practical guide for anyone trying to navigate the corporate world without a blueprint: - How to build confidence when you're the first in your family to pursue a professional career - Why your "different" background is actually your superpower - How to network when you don't have an existing circle - What companies can do to genuinely support social mobility &gt;A BOOK WITH PURPOSE All profits from this book support social mobility charities and provide free copies to those who need them most, ensuring these stories reach the people who need to hear them: that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. If you've ever felt like you don't belong, questioned your worth despite your achievements, or wondered whether a career in tech is possible for someone like you, this book is your answer. You belong. You are enough. And your story matters. PERFECT FOR: - Anyone from a low socioeconomic background considering or building a career in technology - HR professionals and business leaders committed to genuine diversity and inclusion - Educators and careers advisors working with students from disadvantaged backgrounds - Anyone who's ever experienced imposter syndrome or felt they didn't belong in corporate spaces &gt;Created and edited by Yvonne Matzk, Founder of Coachere and The Channel Community C.I.C.

Smashing the Class Ceiling

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

The Emergence of an Arab Global Business

Out of the Middle East

To understand today's world-its media, its politics, and its culture wars-you must first understand Rupert Murdoch. For seventy years, he cultivated leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Tony Blair, and, eventually, Donald Trump. Across continents and decades, presidents and prime ministers sought his favor-and feared his wrath. But Murdoch's real achievement is how he built that influence in the first place.&nbsp;At twenty-one years old, he inherited two failing Australian papers after his father's sudden death left the family in debt with rivals circling. Deal by deal, he fought his way from Adelaide to London to America, buying up ailing newspapers that his established competitors were convinced would fail. With each win, he wagered more, until he'd assembled a globe-spanning empire that gave him leverage over politics, culture, and the news itself. He nearly lost it all under a mountain of debt in 1990. He missed the internet, twice. A phone-hacking scandal made him a pariah in the UK. And late in life, he fought his own children over who would inherit what he'd built. Yet Murdoch's influence persisted through every crisis: his career both masterclass and cautionary tale about the power that comes from controlling the story. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, this sweeping biography reveals the man behind the empire-and the century he helped shape.

Rupert Murdoch and the Deals That Shaped a Century

Empire of Influence

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

Risk, Resilience and the Making of a Business Empire

Barefoot Billionaire

Levi's former CEO--who joined the company after a 28-year career at Procter &amp; Gamble, where dozens of his direct reports became CEOs of other companies--shares how to build great brands and ignite growth.Levi's was lost. For more than a decade, the company that changed how the world dressed had been stagnating--at one point near bankruptcy--as its iconic product, 501 jeans, faded into a nostalgic relic amid more-fashionable competitors.Fast-forward to today. Levi's are back and just about everywhere, from college campuses and concerts to workplaces and red carpets. Influencers style them. Taylor Swift sings about them, and Beyoncé and Post Malone's hit "Levii's Jeans" compares them to a lover's hug. To paraphrase British Vogue, the jeans beloved by James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Springsteen, and Kurt Cobain, as well as presidents and protestors, are once again part of the culture, worn by style icons like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, as well as moms and dads.This is the inspiring, instructive story of Levi's resurgence, from the CEO who led it.Chip Bergh was a die-hard Levi's fan when he was tapped to be CEO thanks to his track record leading successful brands at P&amp;G. In this brisk narrative, he reveals the most consequential decisions and the six timeless tenets of what he coins "brand-driven leadership" that fueled Levi's revival: origin stories matter; the brand is the business; marketing is an investment, not an expense; be customer obsessed; control how the brand shows up; and play the long game.With rich storytelling and actionable insights, Bergh shows how universal leadership principles returned Levi's to relevance, as he surprises readers with fun facts about the history of the company that introduced denim jeans to the world.For any leader facing crucial strategic choices, and anyone who loves jeans, A Levi's Story is a compelling narrative and a vital resource to start, build, or revive brands and unlock growth.

Leading the Revival of an Iconic Brand

A Levi's Story

Success can hide a lot of pain. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down. Anthony Giannotti looked successful from the outside, but inside he was quietly falling apart. A nationally recognized barber, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple thriving businesses, Giannotti had built the life he'd always wanted. But behind the packed barbershops, sold-out classes, and endless travel lived something darker: anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, crushing self-doubt, and the "black cloud" that followed him everywhere he went. Then came the morning he woke in a hotel room to the news that Anthony Bourdain had died by suicide. That moment became the razor's edge between the life he was living—and the one he still had a chance to save. No Guard is an unflinching memoir about chasing success while losing yourself, growing up in a strict religious household, finding purpose through barbering and punk rock, surviving divorce, addiction, and depression, and discovering that healing isn't found in fame, money, or another drink—it's found in finally facing the parts of yourself you've spent a lifetime trying to outrun. Raw, darkly funny, and deeply compassionate, No Guard offers an unforgettable portrait of masculinity, vulnerability, and second chances. For anyone who has wrestled with anxiety, questioned their worth, or wondered whether it's ever too late to start over, Anthony Giannotti proves that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down.

*THE NO.1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*Bill Gates is one of the most transformative figures of our age. In Source Code he takes us back to his beginnings.He describes with candour his childhood in Seattle, the centrality of family - his close relationship with his card-playing grandmother and his demanding but caring parents - his struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, his first deep friendships and the impact of losing his closest friend.We see Gates's extraordinary mind developing, the restless teenager who discovered a love of coding and computing at the dawn of a new era and felt that 'by applying my brain, I could solve even the world's most complex mysteries'. We see the earliest signs of his phenomenal business acumen, which led him to drop out of Harvard at the age of 20 to devote all his energies to Microsoft, the company he started with his childhood friend Paul Allen. He writes about his first involvement with three Steves - Jobs, Wozniak and Ballmer - who would play a crucial role in so much that followed.The book ends in the late 1970s when Microsoft, still with only a dozen employees, signed its first deal with Apple. The deals would go on and Microsoft would grow unimaginably. Yet Gates never forgot his mother's reminder that he was merely a steward of any wealth that he gained. This warm and inspiring book, Bill Gates' origin story, allows readers to understand his energy and ambition - and to see how he sets himself in the world.

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.
