I've been a professional seminar presenter for many years, and have plied my trade in over thirty countries. Having retired from travelling, I'm focused on my writing - novels, short stories and plays, and mostly based in the English Lake District. I now give my talks and run my workshops for enjoyment (mine and yours, I hope!). I enjoy meeting and working with people, and I appreciate the opportunity to continue doing what I love.
Currently, my most popular offering combines themes from my recent novel, 'The Leaf Slide' and the work of singer/songwriters like Jake Thackray, Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton.
If you engage me to talk about my novels and stories, I'll bring my guitar along too, My setup? A chair for me and an audience - that's all!
I'll introduce you to my main character, Detective Chief Inspector Max Wordsworth, 'the reluctant Lakeland detective'. and I'll sing some songs to embellish the main themes of Max's story.
As I mentioned in the title, I'm also happy to offer more challenging talks and workshops. They won't teach 'how to', but they will ask, 'how well do you deal with people, and could you improve your people skills?' The process is known as 'reflective practice', and you might find yourself reframing the way you handle certain situations. Some of the techniques I offer (eg handling anger - yours and other people's) may assist you in achieving better outcomes.
Important point - my approach is friendly and nobody gets embarrassed.
The topics I'm offering reflect my professional expertise and years of face to face experience as a management consultant. I've condensed the main themes into a one hour format, and if you wish, these sessions can also be interactive, using exercises that I've often used in my seminars.
Contact me here if you would like me to present a talk on any of the subjects you find in the list. It's only a few examples as I've delivered over 75 topics during my career. I'll let you know if I can offer anything of value.

Some of my clients:
For ten years I was a principal presenter (out of 625) for The Knowledge Brokers of Dubai. This brought me many engagements in the Middle East, Africa and India. Four well known American seminar companies contracted me in for engagements the UK, Europe, Japan and elsewhere, and their rigorous, independent evaluations after every seminar state that I averaged 9.0 on a 10 point scale.
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. My talks now compensate in part for the excitement I miss.
I've lived in the Lake District for many years. Now I write novels, short stories and plays, and I produce online business webinars for different websites. My books are all available on Amazon in various formats, and I've also recorded my own work, and that of over a dozen authors, for Amazon Audible.
In addition to my talks focused on my creative writing, I'm happy to offer customised presentations and workshops on a wide range of more demanding soft skills areas. I've suggested a few themes below that I can offer as a talk or as an exercise-based workshop. Just ask, and I'll be happy to discuss possibilities with you.
