Rembrandt the master of the selfie, left us a path through his extraordinary life as illustrated by a passion for depicting his own changing face. Vincent Van Gogh said "Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language." Allow me to lead you on a journey through Rembrandt's oeuvre meeting the man in person and be moved by the images he created.

About Chris O'Grady

I enjoy providing some 60 talks a year to various diverse groups as Sailing Clubs, U3A's, Women's Institutes, Probus, Friends of Museums and Galleries, Rotary Clubs etc.

As needed, for any of my talks I am happy to help organizations to set up Zoom meetings for their group using my ZoomPro Licence. I am pleased to share "best practice" gained from my experience of being involved in numerous online meetings and presentations

Over 80% of my bookings come through recommendations or are return engagements.

My professional life was spent making presentations to a wide range of groups. Now I am able to use the skills developed when working to enhance my talks about topics that are very close to my heart.

After giving a talk the following words have been used to describe my presentations.

"Fascinating", "extremely interesting and witty", "your talk must be unique: not only that but you speak very naturally" "You are such a positive and inspiring person"
