| Presenting | As a senior executive in the oil industry, I have presented to large (and multi-national / multi-cultural) audiences all over the world. I am comfortable, confident and very professional in front of live audiences and cameras. Approach can be professional and corporate, as well as friendly and engaging. Many presentations have been from a sales/marketing perspective which have required passion, persuasion and inspired motivation (results have included securing over $5m of investment funding from a global conglomerate for one start-up on this basis). I have also given presentations/lectures as a subject-matter 'expert' requiring confidence, knowledge and skillful improvisation where appropriate. I am intelligent, capable, quick-thinking, flexible and calm in high-pressured situations. |
| Writing | I have a 30 year career in the corporate world, with a background in professional marketing so am able to write the highest quality copy. I have written countless corporate reports, brochures, press-releases etc. so am very familiar with the requirements of professional marketing materials, including audio/visual. I enjoy the art of writing and have written 3 novels as well as many other various work. |
| Singing | I sing like an angel and sound great in the bath. My wife disagrees. |
