This talk is about how to write well - whether it's for pleasure, business or publication. Lots of information about getting ideas, structuring thoughts, communicating effectively and getting published. You can use books as a marketing tool, so the talk will also include ideas on how to write and publish a book and use it to grow your business. One of my books is called ''Words Speak for Themselves' and is a humorous look at being effective with style, grammar, punctuation and content. There's also information on how to identify people's motivational patterns through their language and use that information in building effective relationships, teams and marketing processes.

I am an author, business mentor and coach. Much of my work, including my writing, is based on NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and I used to be Chair of the Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. My background is in training, HR, management consultancy and publishing. My last employed post was as one of the Directors of the Arts Council of Great Britain. I have run businesses of my own for about 40 years.
My voluntary activities include helping people consider entrepreneurship as an option, running NLP groups for coaches and retired people and also being on the Steering Committee for Wales for the Society of Authors.
I am, or have have been, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Consultancy and The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and have served on Council or commmittees of both organisations.
My books are mostly on business, but there are also some educational books for chioldren, a humorous series on busines/personal effectiveness and writing, and various others including topics such as traditional pig-keeping, weight management, and amusing memoirs. One of my favourite book reviews said "Bordering on the bonkers, but life-affirming".
My non-work activities have included teaching fencing, showing and judging Afghan Hounds, Indian classical dance, Taiko (Japanese) drumming, keeping pigs and cooking.
I talk on a range of subjects including personal and business skills, NLP, writing and any of the other activities in which I am, or have been, involved.
My guiding principles are simplicity, humour and curiosity.
I live in Wales.
