Presentations
I have been comfortable standing in front of an audience since I was 11, as my wonderful English teacher encouraged us by holding in-school debates and putting us up for between-school speaking competitions. I’m equally happy providing an interactive training or coaching workshop, delivering a session for an IOSH or other professional meeting (in person, or virtual), participating in a webinar or podcast, or giving a formal presentation to a large audience.
Take a look at some presentation topics that are “oven-ready”, or let me know if there’s something bespoke you’re interested in.
You might find it useful to listen to some of my Webinars.

Effective safety procedures, June 2022
Sometimes, amidst all the talk of culture, behaviour and technology, it’s about having the right procedures, delivered in a way that they can be understood. A long conversation with Mary Conquest, but you can dip into parts of it as it’s well indexed.
