X Factor

My rather candid coaching style (honest feedback FOLLOWED by reconstruction has always been my approach - too much time working for German PLCs perhaps, who are not big into niceties!) has prompted several of my candidates to ruefully refer to me as the Simon Cowell of the Conservative Party. Well, this weekend I trained an X Factor hopeful in preparation for their second round in front of the producers, prior to facing the man himself. What great fun and what a change from business pitches and politics!
