    Media & Speaking

    Orange IconI regularly write and speak on business issues for conferences, exhibitions, networking groups, plus TV and radio.

    I was the regular business expert on Channel 4′s Risking It All programme and I’ve appeared on BBC’s The Politics Show, the 6 o’clock News, and radio. I’m regularly featured in the Brighton Argus, both in my business blog and commenting on city issues in my capacity as President of the Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce.

     


    Public speaking topics

    Popular topics include:

    • The art of referrals
    • The joy of networking
    • Why women do business differently to men
    • How to have a remarkable business

    I also talk about my experience of running businesses – how I lost £4.8m, setting up a second business (Tender Winner) and how to deal with rapid growth have all been popular talks.

     


    My speaking style

    People have used some of these words to describe my talks. These are all taken from feedback forms at conferences.

    Very good, lovely dry sense of humour

    Like her quirky humour

    Clear and well structured

    Encouraging, sensible, inclusive, high level (on purpose)

    Excellent – really great advice

    She was hilarious – loved this session – informative and v funny!

    Straight, clear, v helpful

    Could be a stand up comedian – hilarious

    Inspirational

    I would say that my speaking style is direct and down to earth, with some humour and humility. My passion is to pass on my learning about running businesses and to help people to feel that they can be successful as well.
