My talk 'From Clown to Corporate' gives a fascinating and humorous insight into my real life experiences of working as a children's entertainer called 'Dolly Day Dream' in the early 90's. I then describe how I then made the career transition into the corporate world working with seemingly sensible adults! Was it easier working with adults or children - I let you decide! The talk is a lot of fun with poems, puppets, juggling, and a bit of audience participation too.

I am an experienced speaker, writer, storyteller and poet, and the current 'writer in residence' for Essex Gardens Trust. I recently retired from full time employment as a senior leader in the corporate world of social housing. Prior to my corporate career I was a children's entertainer called 'Dolly Day Dream' My amusing experiences of working with young children, and then moving onto the corporate world are the subject of my talks.

I am an approved Essex Women's Institute speaker, and also regularly present to U3a's, Rotary, Probus and other community groups. I have received excellent feedback from my speaking engagements.
