Since that first competitive recital age age eight (see here for my origin story), I’ve continued with public speaking. For more than two decades, my career has always involved speaking in some format, whether as host, guest or something in between.
Fun fact: as a teen, I represented Britain at a debating event in Finland (Okay, maybe not a fun fact, just a fact. And an insight into my youth!).
Looking for a professional to lead an event?
Need an interviewer, facilitator or chair? Whether it’s asking questions, ensuring a discussion flows smoothly, keeping speakers on track or some combination thereof, I can help.
Visualised podcasts, video interviews, online webinars, in-person roundtables, fireside conversations, expert panels, conference sessions: I’ve led in all these formats, and more, and will bring that experience and expertise to your event too.
Looking for a speaker or guest?
Need a contributor for a talk, podcast or show? Whether it’s live or pre-recorded, broadcast or face-to-face, I can also help with that.
I’ve been a regular guest and newspaper reviewer on BBC local radio, an expert in an ITN sustainability feature and a documentary talking head.
I’ve also spoken about different aspects of my work in settings ranging from Cornell University, New York, to village halls, from Oxford Fashion Week to suburban community centres, and to audiences from industry experts and academics to WI and U3A groups.
