Howard Whiteson

Speaking can be motivational but in my case it's purely practical: what do people walk away with that they can use immediately, and in the longer term too?

I walk the walk: having built a business from scratch to 6 figures in less than a year in Shanghai, where I arrived not knwoing a word of Mandarin, with zero contacts and little idea of what I was supposed to be selling.

I offer short, sharp presentations that are narrowoly focused on single issues, such as confience on camera, sturcturing a winning presentation, improving engagement and more.

I am the editor of "Own the Room," a soon-to-be-published e-book containing advice from the world's leading experts on presenting.

In addition to my speaking role, I coach entrepreneurs and executives both one-to-one and in group settings.

I love theatre, reading and playing with my two cats, Tawny and Topaz, sisters who are both entirely natural in their behaviour and filled with feline grace.
