Talk 1 – ‘My Life's Journey: The Early Years’. In my first talk I share my childhood memories of my birthplace, my family's journey to England, my crippling shy and timid personality. This talk provides an illuminating insight into my early life, with hilarious stories from my childhood in Pakistan. Moving to England, it covers my struggles at school, facing and dealing with racism, and falling into jobs I didn’t want. Then one day a chance meeting with a total stranger helped to transform my life, helping me to build my self-esteem, building my confidence, finding the real me inside myself, going onto a successful career with Lancashire Constabulary.

I am a retired police officer, author and coach/mentor. I came to England as a nine year old boy from a rural village in Pakistan. A very shy and timid young boy, I knew nothing of the wonderful world that existed outside my little village. After moving to England and a chance meeting with a Lancashire lass my life was transformed. This wonderful woman saw something in a dreamy eyed, lost young man and her love and devotion helped me to go on a journey that helped me to find the real person inside. This journey helped me to go from someone unable to speak for himself to become a voice for others.
I have lived in Lancashire since 1973, having moved from Oxfordshire to Yorkshire then to Lancashire. I left school with little qualifications and began my working life in a bank, a dairy, on the buses, as a Traffic Warden, before I found my true vocation as a Police Officer.
I retired in 2013 and only took up writing during the Covid Pandemic in 2020. In my first book. 'PC Mebs - Finding Myself', I share my life story.
Since it's publication I have become a guest speaker and deliver series of three talks.
