This year, Ian Golding (that’s me), will officially become the author of a book. A lifetimes ambition, I am beyond excited!! However, I would never have got to the point of being on the brink of achieving my ambition without the support of many people.

The name was our way of capturing the experience we had when we joined throngs of shoppers at Christmas looking for that understocked “must have” toy. Of course, there were those other experiences when the store served as a wonderland of possibilities.

Shaking hands is a simple gesture that brings two individuals together and allows collaboration, listening, learning and connecting to occur.
