Facts Tell, Stories Sell

I have been involved in Public Speaking, for over 30 years. For me it's not just a profession it's a major part of my lifestyle.

My first introduction to Public Speaking was through a local speakers club, where I also discovered competitive speaking and went on to win several (well over 100) trophies including The UK Speaking Championship and Britains Funniest Speaker.

Competitive speaking helps me to hone my skills so that I can pass them along to clients, by way of quality coaching and international standard professional keynotes.

As well as my speaking skills, I have a huge variety of life skills which help me relate to just about every imaginable situation. I can use all my skills and experience to craft just the right keynote for your event.

I have worked in Europe, Africa and the USA and have a wealth of experience and many tales to tell.

I have several hobbies from the mundane reading, watching films and listening to music to the more unusual hill walking and Amateur Radio (Combined). I hold a ships radio licence and a powerboating certificate and due to an unfortunate change of circumstances, I learned how to fly a plane, but not land one.

Stand up comedy, both watching and performing, is one of my favourite things. I have gigged in front of audiences from as little as 2 people up to a full theatre of almost 1,000 people.
