The Apprentice: Holding Up a Professional Mirror with Feedback

If you’ve been following The Apprentice, as we have been here at Track, you’ll remember the interview episode (Episode 11).  I was struck by how often the candidates talked about the feedback they had received throughout the series, how they felt, and what they were going to do about it. 

  • You’ve got to be tough-skinned and brave to hear that…
  • Some people have said that I rub people up the wrong way…
    I find that extraordinary because I never thought that I did!
  • I’ve learned how my personality and the way I communicate…
    has an impact on other people
  • It’s a painful experience for someone to hold up a
    ‘professional mirror’ to you and say ‘this is what I see’
    and it’s something you see differently,  but it’s actually
    one of the most liberating things you can do… because I’ve
    got the opportunity to transform that..
  • The hardest part about today to was to really see (myself)
    through someone else’s eyes…
