The time spent on my own as an ex-pat working for Shell gave me a life long love of reading, there's not much else to do in a desert. Xerox taught me how to sell, be a presenter and the benefits of Leadership Through Quality. Brian Tracy encouraged me to turn my car into a university on wheels and use the 40,000 miles traveled every year listening to business tapes. Solutions taught me how to manage people, market products into new emerging markets, run exhibitions and the importance of PR. Colourgen taught me how to develop a market. DCP taught me finance, administration and the importance of finding your business's niche. Light Tape showed me how to market products on a shoestring using digital media and run successful events. Novalead is showing me the importance of going with the flow and giving clients what they want. On the last count, I had over 500 books in my library (not counting digital) along with hundreds of tapes and CDs. Over 80% are on business, technology, and self-development, the rest are biographical and sci-fi. I enjoy movies, travel and most of all the time spent being with my family.Specialties: Quality, Leadership & Sales Training, Business Start-Up and Management, Product Development and Launches, Marketing & PR Strategies, Event Organization, Internet Marketing Including Video, SEO and Social Networking.
