I started life as a researcher at a university. In fact my PhD looked at things in the environment which might be causing children to get leukaemia. To be honest, it was more to do with ‘very hard statistics’ that medicine, but we made some good progress in understanding how to prevent leukaemia. I then spent over 24 years as a professional researcher at universities. (I also worked as an actor, lighting designer and a few other things as well as being a fire-eater!). I got interested in how things were explained when we had to try and get the basics of, say, 18 months of research into the head of politicians and policy-makers who hadn’t been involved in the research. Sometimes in the back of a taxi. Sometimes in a report. But always in clear, non-technical ways… but ways which allowed for no mis-understanding. This forensic interest in things being absolutely right underpins my later work as a trainer and speaker – and this book! At the same time I began to get frustrated with the ways that people explained things: I went to presentations and couldn’t understand them. “Either”, I thought, “that was a rubbish presentation or I’m an idiot. My PhD suggests it’s the former, at least some of the time.” Out of that and the research I did into how people communicated in presentations as a result of came my work as a presentation skills trainer. And out of that came this book. It’s based upon reading nearly 400 pieces of university research (mainly journal papers but also a few books) and very little of my personal opinion – that’s what makes it different from a lot of other books on presenting. I don’t try and tell you how to do X, Y or Z: I give you the research and allow you to apply it to your personal circumstances when it’s relevant for you, in ways that are relevant for you.

My mission is to connect with my clients and guide them in becoming the best versions of themselves through the use of 1:1 coaching, group sessions, specialized programs in eCoaching, and other programs. My goal is to help people to discover their unique strengths, abilities, passions, and values as they navigate through their daily lives. I found my way to coaching, but I took a lot of different paths and turns to get here. I started my career in Social Work working with at risk youth. I went on to earn my Masters in Social Work and then transitioned to working with adults through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is where my love for guiding people through their ups and downs really started to take hold. Some years later, I decided to make a career change and went into Human Resources. It was here that my skills in forming relationships and truly listening to what people had to say really grew. Through my HR career, I have been at a few organizations, and at each place I learned more about the things that made me happy. I found that I was always at my happiest when I was truly “coaching” the managers and staff that I worked with. I decided to take my HR career a step further and received my Senior Professional in HR certification. While I grew in my HR career I added on a variety of different jobs and roles outside of my “regular” job. What I realized was that each of the roles I took on were ways for me to be able to coach and guide people in finding ways to become the best versions of themselves. I finally realized that all of the education, jobs, and experiences were preparing me to become the coach that I am today.
