Hi I’m Ian
And I mean a lifetime!
I began my speaking career at the tender age of 14 years and have never stopped to this day.
There was a lot to learn, and I’ve never stopped studying inspiring speakers, persuasive presenters and effective talkers.
I’m convinced that “talking to inspire” is a skill that anyone can acquire, it’s not a gift available only to the few.
My own talking life has included:
- Presenting to business directors/owners
- Motivating managers and their teams
- Listening to and negotiating with trade unions
- Giving talks to audiences of up to 1,000 people
- Speaking at international trade conventions
- Supporting agents on site across most European countries
- Leading multi-national trade shows including Russia
And of course . . .
- Supporting my wife, two children and five grandchildren.
At the young age of seventy-seven, I still give talks to business directors and groups of adults, parents and children helping them refresh their goals and achieve their dreams.”
This isn’t to brag, just to convince you that “I know what I’m talking about” and can teach you to “talk to inspire” whoever your audience is, be it one person or many.
So, what do others say about me
