⭐️ STOP THE PRESS - the StoryMaking Book ⭐️The StoryMaking Book will launch after the summer! Definitely! It's with the beta-readers now and I'm really encouraged by the responses. It still needs to be proofed and so on but all is on course for a November launch. If you want to know how to USE stories, not just tell them, then this is the book for your presentations, marketing and sales!📌 BAD NEWS UPDATE... about the AcademyWe've had a bereavement here and and a whole bunch of other things - along side more work than I'd anticipated! - so the Academy won't be launching until the new year. I want to get it right so rushing in half-arsed isn't the right thing to do for you or me! I'll keep you posted.📌 SPEAKING to help your organisation in your big eventsAs a speaker, I specialise in story-making (think storytelling with purpose, or *tactical* storytelling!). I tend to work mainly at organisation-based conferences but there's a lot of range in that! It's useful for marketers in particular but any other groups that need to find their stories!📌 TRAINER for when you have a smaller group and/or a more specific needAs a trainer, I'm the director of the training company Aware Plus and I have a particular speciality as a trainer and coach helping anyone who wants to make better use of their voice or who wants (needs?) to make better presentations. Basically, it all boils down to 'impact'.📌 GENERAL - just 'cos it's expected here :)An old review of one of my courses finished with "It changed my life." Frankly I'm not sure I'm that good (I'm not sure ANYONE's that good! 😇 ) but it was in The Times, so who am I to argue? A more recent one simply told their HR department they'd made a mistake to only employ me for one course: "... the best trainer I've ever encountered". 📌 PERSONALishI get really worked up about what I do and I do it well. Sometimes I'm even modest about it! Honest! 😀 I'm always happy to talk things over and - if I can - give some freebie advice by phone or email.BUT BE WARNED... I do science and what the research says what works... your opinion might not qualify as research! 😎Enjoy!📌 SPECIALITIESTraining, coaching, voice, presentation skills, corporate training, private training, presentations, PowerPoint, impact, influence, meetings
