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!

 

CANCELLATIONS...
Please take note that once a date [for a talk, an exhibition or work-shop] has been confirmed (verbally or in writing), I will hold the date[s] regardless of fire, flood, earthquake OR other bookings. Therefore, when an engagement is cancelled, unless I am able to get another booking for that day, a fee is payable.

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]
