Didn't Anyone Ever Tell You? It's All A Game!

by Andrew J. Mullaney

My name is Andrew J. Mullaney, debut author of Didn't Anyone Ever Tell You? It's All A Game! I'm helping mentors, mentees and people like you to better understand how to play the game of life to your advantage.

​

I believe that life is like a game of snakes and ladders, full of quick wins and avoidable traps. Through a combination of personal anecdotes, interviews and pieces of advice, I'll show you how to influence the game and ultimately become the best version of yourself.

About Me

Born and bred in the Black Country, I'm a proud family man with a 35-year career with Lloyds Bank behind me.

I was fortunate to undertake management roles within Retail, Commercial, Corporate and Private/International Private Banking, before formally retiring in May 2019.

​

The greatest privilege I had during my career came in the latter years where I was seconded to Business In The Community, one of the Prince of Wales charities, as a Business Connector for Dudley. This gave me a belief in and a passion for giving back and connecting others to improve the lives and well being of as many people as possible. I will always try to help anyone who asks.

 

I've assisted with many community projects, including social enterprises, and my favourite area is helping with the development of younger people. I've also been a founding Director of a Multi Academy Trust, Mentor to the CEO and I still mentor several people at different stages of their lives.
