The following presentations are interactive and humorous. Use of a
visual aid is required by some but not all.
Some of the
presentations work better with a smaller audience, while others are absolutely
right for any number. Some are more suited to seminars and conferences whereas
others fit more easily into informal events.
ALL of the presentations can be tailored
or combined to complement YOUR event ...simply by completing the questionnaire!
[1] 'THE PSYCHOLOGY OF
HANDWRITING' This
entertaining presentation is an introduction to graphology ...the science of
personality assessment via the analysis of writing.
This interactive talk takes the
audience on a stroll through the mind of a serial killer all the way to how to
write with your 'wrong' hand.
Includes the opportunity for
every member of the audience to take a look at what their own writing reveals.
Astounding graphics and a wealth of humour. Sceptics especially welcome.
NOTE: This presentation can be
in three forms: [A] A 45/60 minute talk, [B] A half day workshop and [C] A full
day workshop.
[2] 'GETTING IT RIGHT' An amazing lecture during which every
member of the audience builds up an accurate profile of their natural strengths
and weaknesses. A presentation designed to help participants kick-start the
creative side of their thinking. Hilarious antics plus inspiring revelations.

FIRE!' an intriguing
look at the subject of lying. Includes how to avoid being lied to and how to

enemy STRESS. Designed to help each member of the audience turn stress into
motivation by utilising some fascinating techniques! Some intriguing giveaways

of music plus how music can be made to influence our thinking and decision

[6] 'MANIPULATION' A topical presentation encompassing a
variety of frauds and psychological manipulations.. Includes a mind boggling
demonstration of just how easily it is for even the most intelligent and
sceptical person to be convinced that black is white! This intriguing talk

delightfully) getting your own back!
[7] 'HOW TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC' A hilarious look at some of the horrors
encountered by a professional speaker AND how to prevent them happening in the
first place! A humorous and inspirational presentation that includes such
nuggets as how NOT to cope in a hostage situation and how it feels to find
yourself before an audience who have been drinking for three solid hours!
Excellent free handouts.
[8] A MIND PROVOKING
'AWAY-DAY' [AND/OR ENTERTAINMENT FOR AN ENTIRE AFTERNOON, FULL DAY OR EVENING] Hours of unsurpassable insights and
humour as the audience are taken on a leisurely stroll through the landscapes
of their own minds - with some fascinating and unforgettable detours.

gets to know the most fascinating person in the world .. themselves!!! Includes
team assessment, team building and individual personality profiling. Completely
lacking in humiliation, this is an entertaining and positive experience!
[9] 'LOCO LOGOS' An interactive, utterly fascinating,
presentation about the messages contained in company logos and slogans.

logos, fonts and typefaces ...with important tips as to how to avoid off-putting
and potentially expensive mistakes! (see also the Reports section).

GOOD' A look at the
mistakes nice people make that result in their being taken advantage of and
their personal happiness diminished. A useful blueprint for getting what you
want NICELY.
but first
please tell me what you want...
ALL of my presentations contain humour and require a varying degree of audience
participation; SOME require the use of visual projection and MOST can be
adapted and/or combined to suit virtually any occasion. To tailor the
presentation to the event it is necessary to know as much as possible about the
occasion, so to enable me to decide the most appropriate content for your talk
please print out the questionnaire, then
complete all relevant details and send it to me ASAP.
The questionnaire is designed to
fit most eventualities. It is entirely confidential and will be used for no
other purpose than to ensure that the chosen talk will fit to perfection. No
copies will be made and the completed questionnaire will not be retained. When
you complete the questionnaire you may find some of the questions to be
entirely irrelevant to your event ...but answering whichever questions apply
will help 'tailor' the presentation to the event and therefore go a long way to
make the occasion even more of a success!
NOTE: All of the talks are humorous and
interactive; but if you think the audience are likely to become so inebriated
that they will be unable comprehend what is being said, let alone join in
...then just maybe the most appropriate entertainment will not be a
speaker.....
NEW IDEA: I am pleased to offer a new service that
has grown out of requests for me to go into a company and work directly with
staff. This can work in two ways ...I can do an interactive presentation during
which everyone builds up their own profile OR I can work with individuals
throughout the day ...doing one-to-one assessments.

REMEMBER THIS...
There are three fears that most people suffer at one time or another. The third
worst fear is - PUBLIC SPEAKING. The second worst fear is - DYING. But the
worst fear of all is - DYING WHILE SPEAKING IN PUBLIC [....sniffle]
