Hello and welcome to my base for providing clients with the rocket fuel they need to boost their writing and presenting skills to new heights. To do that I -

• Write speeches and presentations for leaders in business, government and the not-for-profit sector
• Teach people from all walks of life to write speeches and presentations
• Coach people to write effectively and present with confidence in meetings and other business settings and
• Speak to audiences about how to use the spoken word to make a difference in the world.

During my 30 years in business, I've run many courses, workshops and webinars, taught in university business schools and spoken at international conferences in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. Earlier, I gained valuable experience as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor and public affairs specialist. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Journalism Degree from Carleton University. I'm also proud to have served as president of the International Association of Business Communicators Ottawa Chapter and to be a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, the Professional Speechwriters Association and the U.K. Speechwriters' Guild.
