First week back at The Academy


Karren Brady at The Fashion Retail Academy. Front page of my SOI presentation.

The first week [commencing 2.5.11] back at FRA and Level 4 were off timetable, I used this as an opportunity to continue with my research for my FMP.  The week started off on Thursday with a Masterclass with Karren Brady, you probably recognise her from The Apprentice (which starts today), however she was previously CEO of Birmingham City FC, and now Vice-Chairman of West Ham United FC, and most recently Non-Executive of Arcadia. Karren Brady was a fantastic speaker, very charismatic and such a great inspiration for women! She gave great advice which I felt really related to me and many other students at this stage, who are applying for jobs, as well as information to take forward to the future in terms of progressing in such a tough industry. Key words included Passion and Determination. The week ended with my Statement of Intent (SOI) presentation, which was part of my DPP (Developing Personal Progression) lesson, this went really well and I feel I received positive and encouraging feedback from Debbie and Justin in terms of my FMP and presentation skills.
