How do you take your feedback?

Gill O'Rourke - Co Host

Feedback is SO important for self development - but it can go so terribly wrong for all concerned!

Tonight at 7pm,  the LifestyleMK girls are looking at reviews - their importance and how they affect the reviewee.  With their regular features on fitness, pets and relationships, and another set of fabulous guests, they are asking you:

HOW DO YOU TAKE YOUR FEEDBACK?  Do you review?  Do you read reviews?  Do you think all reviews are created equal - or not?

Any comments, please do let them know on #lifestylemk as they'll be reading out your views on the show or tweet @draudreyt   or   @gillian7751

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).
