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"
