I have been public speaking since I was 10 years old. I am extremely confident with presenting all kinds of short to multi-day workshops, webinars, training session, panel sessions, key note speeches, and more. This is not a comprehensive list of every training session I’ve run or group I have spoken to!
I’ve been guest speaker at innumerable Rotary Clubs – topics have included Rotaract, Sound Therapy, Safe & effective social media, Rotary conventions… I have been a guest speaker to other groups and organisations on a wide variety of topics, often around leadership training, marketing and communication, and Sound Therapy (when that was a field that I worked in). I have also written training manuals and provided annual training to office bearers on a variety of topics.
As you can see, I’m extremely versatile! I’m competent in presenting a very wide range of engaging and useful sessions, well targeted to the specific audience.
