Spotlight on Management: Coach Chris Browne at the National Museum of Computing

Coach Chris Browne

The National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park is delighted to play host to a book-signing where TV Coach - Chris Browne (also one of London's top Development Coaches) is the keynote speaker.

Coach Chris, will be "Inspiring a Shared Vision" and opens the event to be held at the Museum on July 5th.

He is a member of ITOL, qualified in teaching, and has also been working in the field of Personal Development for a number of years.

Dr Audrey Tang

Also presenting and signing her book is Secklow Sounds' own Dr Audrey Tang (Host of LifestyleMK).  Her book "Be a Great Manager Now" published by Pearson is not only heading for "Book of the month"in WH Smith Travel, but has been submitted by the publishers to the CMI Book of the Year Awards, and has been licensed by Skill Pill as part of their digital library.  Audrey says of her book:

"In the current fast-paced world, we sadly have little time for self-development. Pearson’s “2 in 1” series structures its content for the busy manager. The grey pages are full of tips, ideas and insights – things you can try immediately, but then when you get the time to think about why something was effective, the “big picture” section looks that the context and theory behind the ideas. This supports managers not just in knowing what to do, but in understanding why they are doing it, and as such empowers them to implement their own actions based on that understanding."

Gary Fay

Maria Jensen

Speakers include Maria Jensen, Manager of Amtrac Ltd, and Gary Fay co-director and founder of Identifi Global - talent recruitment agency, who will also be offering CV support throughout the evening.

The evening is aimed at new and aspiring managers, is free to attend (although it is by invitation only), and is even CPD accredited to 2 hours (or 2 CPD points).



...and covering it all for Secklow Sounds will be David Stimson of DSP New Start and "Transition"

Audrey Tang

Mean Business Event

Audrey, who has been interviewed this week by "The Crazy Mind" (read full interview here) is delighted with Transition's support.  She said "I've had the pleasure of working with David on one of his "Dragon's Den" events for Young Enterprise.  Finding that career you both love and succeed in is getting ever more difficult with so many choices, and so much instability, that having a focus, and the support from those involved in the Young Enterprise programme, is a wonderful opportunity".  She will be signing her book at the "Mean Business" event on Tuesday July 5th at The National Museum of Computing, Bletchley Park at a workshop and networking evening aimed at new and aspiring managers.  Appearing also as the keynote speaker to "Inspire your shared vision" is Sky 203's Coach Chris Browne.  Coach Chris is one of London's top Development Coaches with years of experience in motivating and assisting companies and individuals.  Coach Chris is also resident coach on the Chrissy B Show, (Great positive show) Where he shares advice and gives inspiration to the viewers who may have challenges in various areas of their lives.
