I give these talks for enjoyment (mine and yours, I hope!). I've been a professional seminar presenter for many years, but now that I'm retired, I focus on my creative writing - novels and short stories, mostly based in the Lake District. Currently, my most popular talk combines themes from my recent novel, 'The Leaf Slide' with the work of singer/songwriters like Jake Thackray, Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton. I bring my guitar along with me, and I work with a very simple setup. If you're happy for me to display a few of my books, I'd appreciate a table. That apart, nothing except a chair for me and an audience who I hope will be interested in hearing about my main character, Detective Chief Inspector Max Wordsworth, 'the reluctant Lakeland detective'. I'll sing some songs to embellish the main themes of Max's story, and I hope to interest your audience in buying some of my books - at a discounted price, of course. I also offer other talks and workshops that reflect my many years' experience as a management consultant. Contact me directly if you would like me to present a one hour talk on one of these themes.

I love the opportunity to share ideas with people. For over thirty years, this was how I made my living - working as a management consultant and presenting face to face seminars, courses, conferences and workshops, including events with hundreds of delegates.
Examples:
- The World Bank - A Leadership conference in Zagreb, Croatia
- GCHQ, NSA - at Cheltenham and Fylingdales, UK
- US Marine Corps, in Japan, Germany and UK
- RAF, British Army at various bases in the UK
- The Professional Footballers' Association - UK (a 20 year relationship)
- Estee Lauder, Calvin Klein in the UAE and UK
- Senior management teams in the UK, Middle East, India, Africa and in many European countries
- Addressing eight hundred KFC Franchisees at a conference at Disneyland, Paris
I was a founder member of the UK Professional Speakers' Association, I've a master's degree and I'm a member of various professional organisations.
I retired from travelling after a climbing accident, and these talks compensate in part for the excitement I miss.
Now I write novels, short stories and plays, and I produce online business webinars for different websites. My books are available on Amazon in various formats, and I've also recorded my own work, and that of over a dozen authors, for Amazon Audible.
I play the acoustic guitar, and currently my most popular talk is a light-hearted combination of extracts from one of my Lake District novels coupled with songs from my favourite singer/songwriters, for example, Bob Dylan, Jake Thackray and Tom Paxton..
I'm also happy to offer bespoke talks/workshops on a wide range of more demanding soft skills areas. So, if a one hour talk or an exploratory workshop on any of these themes interests you - just ask!
