Adrian Webster – The Books:
An international best-selling business and self-help author, Adrian Webster’s books include:
Polar Bear Pirates and Their Quest to Reach Fat City:
This book features a whole new world of characters and terminology that anyone striving for success in whatever they do will instantly relate to and apply.
Polar Bear Pirates and Their Quest to Engage the Sleepwalkers:
This book focuses on workers who have fallen into comfy routines and drifted into ‘Planet Complacency’. Though they think the same way, deliver the same results, and shine at just 60 watts, these 100-watt team players can do much more.
TNTs – Tiny Noticeable Things:
TNTs are all the little things people don’t need to do but do anyway. Though small, they create the biggest, longest-lasting impressions in people’s minds; they show how much you care; they make and break relationships, yet cost nothing.

Great People, Make People Feel Great:
