He's trained and coached professional communicators internationally for nearly thirty years (except in South America and Antarctica).
His start was with the Defence Force's Signal Corps. He then joined the software industry (back when PCs ran on DOS), BigPharma out of London, and eventually back to the IT sector and Australia during the DotCom boom.
He's published a book, written for and worked with leading publishers and broadcasters, run communications firms, managed global brand communications campaigns, led many successful pitches and managed several media crises.
There are several awards with his name on, but his proudest moments were coaching scientists to win funding for their research - because that advanced humanity's progress.
He's trained an ABC of leaders,
including some fast starters,
the small, nimble and entrepreneurial;
and the bigger end of town.
This is what they've said:
I look forward to standing up and speaking to a room full of people. The bigger the crowd the more enthusiastic I am, as it takes as long speaking to five people as it does to 500. But now I give 494 more joy with my speaking, me included!
His experience, confidence, and empathy convinced me not to have to stand up and speak to my team. I now realise I GET TO, which makes us all better and our days together far more fun!
I won the best-conference-speaker award as soon as I did what I'd learned. I've let go of bombarding delegates with information and now zone in on what I want them to feel. If everyone in science could speak this way, I'm sure there'd be lots more funding available! Make this training mandatory for PhD degrees!
Not only what I learned, but how I learned it impressed me. Because it's so practical and applicable - more than any training course I've before. I loved it because it was specific to my role and fixed some serious misconceptions I had about my presentation style. I'm now grabbing every opportunity to speak, even in front of the top bosses. I don't even care that I speak with an accent because I now use it to hold attention.
I actually enjoyed getting up on stage to deliver my keynote. It's changed my frame of mind from worrying about my delivery to getting energised about leaving the audience wanting more.
