About The Speaker...

I have been involved in Public Speaking, for over 30 years. For me its not just a profession its a major part of my lifestyle.

My first introduction to Public Speaking was through a local speakers club, where I also discovered competitive speaking and went on to win several (over 100) trophies including The UK and Ireland Speaking Championship and Britains Funniest Speaker.

Competitive speaking helps me to hone my skills so that I can pass them along to clients, by way of quality coaching and international standard professional keynotes.

As well as my speaking skills, I have a huge variety of life skills which help me relate to just about every imaginable situation. I can use all my skills and experience to craft just the right keynote for your event.

I love talking to any audience and have given speeches to FTSE 100 companies as well as local clubs and societies.

About Their Talks...

I offer several different talks that vary from entertaining through education to enlightenment. For clubs and societies, I offer a talk on how myself and my late wife coped with her diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Dementia and how we learned not just to survive but to thrive. You will hear about our travels including our road trip from New York to LA and back again, where we almost circumnavigated the whole of the USA. There are some sad moments but also some amazingly funny and endearing moments.

For businesses I offer keynote speeches on a variety of subjects including communication skills and sales strategies. These keynotes are based around story telling and how the power of stories massively increases your businesses success in all areas.

I also offer fun after dinner speeches specially tailored to your organisation.

Fee:

My fees vary depending on the type and size of event. For clubs and societies fees start at £200 (plus expenses if not local) for in person events, with a reduction for virtual events.

For corporate events my fees start at £1,000 for smaller businesses and go to £3000 for large corporates and conferences.

After dinner fees are negotiable.

Mr Wonderful

The story of my late wife and I coping with her dementia diagnosis and how we completely turned out lives around and travelled all over North America and Europe. We lived life to the full and had many happy and fun adventures while coping with this tragic condition.
I have given this speech in many occasions. Audience members have shed tears of sadness and tears of joy, but mostly the latter.

A great way to get people to know you is through a well told story.

What Makes You Change

Have you ever wanted to make changes in your life, but haven’t gotten round to it? Are you waiting for an epiphany? Are you jealous of people who have had life changing events that spurred them to greatness?
In this keynote I tell a story about my own life near death experience and the impact that it had on me and let you into the secret that caused me to turn my life around.

As well as delivering some lessons in life and in business this keynote is great fun to listen to.
