Beat The Bumph! (€14.95) Kathryn Redway Beat The Bumph! Through the trials and tribulations of twins Bel and Ben Bumph, Kathryn Redway shows how to prioritise the information you receive, how to filter out what you don’t need, and how to read rapidly and still understand. Information today is not just received on paper but also electronically. This book considers how to deal with your e-mail, and hoe to read and write on screen to best advantage. There is also advice on resting your eyes and how to arrange your workstation. Don’t just despair of all the information you receive - think of the effect of what you send on its recipients. Kathryn offers guidelines on the presentation and editing to make sure that your message is easily understood. The book uses some of the most advanced - but easy to use - information management techniques available to help busy managers, offices and individuals avoid becoming snowed under by printouts and paperwork, master their time and absorb key information. It also looks at how to make meetings more effective - ensure you have a suitable agenda and stick to it, hold the meeting in someone else’s office so you can leave more easily, etc. If you constantly have piles or unread information all over your desk, or always leave it until the last minute to prepare for a meeting or presentation and then run out of time, or find yourself carrying around articles and books to read which you rarely even open - then this bumph - free book is for you. Kathryn Redway runs her own training and consultancy business, specialising in programmes for corporate communication and innovation. Her clients include AT&T Istle, BP Exploration, IBM, J Sainsbury and the Universities of Oxford and London.
