I'm a communications professional who is determined to demystify the subject through easy-to-use, plain English how-to books that explain how anyone - well, almost! - can become an expert. It's not that difficult to write well, to make great presentations, to undertake first rate customer care. All you need are a few insider tips - and that's what I fill my books with.
I'm passionate about accessible writing, about great customer service, and enthusiastic presentations. I run my own communications consultancy and I'm also a non-executive director or various bodies such as the Ambulance Service in Scotland.
