Speaker at Association Of Speakers Club

Professional Training & Coaching industry

1990 – Present (19 years)

Throughout my working career I have had a love of giving humourous, serious, political, social and educational speeches to teach and entertain an audience. I have been a member of the ASC throughout this time which has given my many speaking opportunites, not only for enjoyment but also in competition. As well as this I have held many positions within the club working to expand its borders, these include local-area President and for one year club President. I love my time with the ASC and it continues to be an important part of my working and social career.

Presentation Skills Trainer at Skills Studio

Professional Training & Coaching industry

March 1998 – January 2000 (1 year 11 months)

After leaving the local council, I joined Skills Studio and learnt the basics of Presentation Skills Training whilst completing my training qualifications. I ran courses in and around London as well as starting to plan and expand my ideas of how Presentation Skills training should be conducted. After a couple of years I decided to branch out into my own company rather than be confined by a larger corporate firm. I wanted the freedom to expand my ideas on how training could be delivered and managed.

Presenting Powerfully with PowerPoint training courses

This course is available as a one day course looking specifically at the use of PowerPoint. It does not teach the use of the application (how to make slides), but rather concentrates on helping people to make the best use of PowerPoint, develop slides that add meaning and impact and importantly how to avoid death by PowerPoint syndrome. Available also as a two day course - normally delivered on a Friday and the following Monday - the course combines aspects of the Advanced course alongside the PowerPoint aspects and allows candidates to modify and prepare some slides after day one, for use on the second day. Maximum of 6 people per course allows plenty of time to practice and refine your presentation and PowerPoint skills.
