I love giving my talks. 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.

In all, over two thousand presentations in over thirty countries.

I had the pleasure of working challenging delegates from different backgrounds and cultures:

• The World Bank - Leadership conference in Zagreb, Croatia
• GCHQ, NSA - Cheltenham and Fylingdales, UK
• US Marine Corps, Japan, Germany and UK
• RAF, British Army UK
• The Professional Footballers' Association - UK (a 20 year relationship)
• Estee Lauder, Calvin Klein UAE and UK
• Senior management teams in the UK, Middle East, India and in many European countries
• Addressing eight hundred KFC Franchisees at Disneyland, Paris

I was a founder member of the UK Professional Speakers' Association, and I have a master's degree in Theatre Arts. I retired from travelling after a climbing accident, and my local talks now 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.

I enjoy playing 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..

On a more serious level, I'm happy to offer bespoke talks/workshops on a wide range of more demanding soft skills areas. One hour exploratory workshops on any of these themes and more - just ask!
