Views: 1015 | Enquiries: 3I have been giving talks to Probus clubs, U3A etc, for more than 6 years. I have been awarded a Speaker Rosette by the Probus Speaker Register of Gloucs. which means that at least three clubs have spoken positively about my presentations.
I spent the majority of my working life in Sales and Marketing and was a director of a £30mn engineering company in Cheltenham, close to my current residence. I spent much of the last few years until I retired presenting to large groups of Architects and Consulting Engineers, worldwide. (Fosters, Ove Arup etc). I taught myself how to create presentations in Powerpoint during this period.
Since I retired in 2010, I have created 16, 60 minute powerpoint presentations. I am enjoying expanding my audience through Speakernet.
I always try to mix humour into my talks, wherever relevant
I charge £ 45 for a talk plus £0.15 per mile for expenses, and am willing to travel up to 40 miles from GL19 . All of my fees, less expenses go to various charities
