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.Â
- 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…
