This fascinating talk with several twists details Titanic's journey from the moment she was conceived until the aftermath of her demise. As with most catastrophes, blame is usually attributed to more than just one individual. I identify those responsible and the roles they played in Titanic’s downfall as well as the unsung heroes who participated in the saving of many lives.

I am a semi-retired professional speaker and trainer with a passion for delighting my audiences.
Born in Zimbabwe, university educated in Cape Town, I enjoyed a career of over 20 years in Singapore selling chemicals in the Asia Pacific region. On taking early retirement, I started my own consultancy delivering talks and workshops on public speaking, personal development and health and safety in the handling of hazardous chemicals.
I now deliver stimulating talks on a wide range of topics, all of which are accompanied by easy to follow custom built slides designed to enrich my content and maximise your enjoyment. I speak on a wide range of subjects of historical interest, humorous cross cultural experiences, impromptu speaking, and safe handling of household chemicals in the home. Something that will appeal to everyone!
I do charge a small honorarium which includes my travel time and expenses, but all of this goes to my designated animal related charities.
I look forward to speaking at your next function!
