Meetings

The Meetings Pocketbook reveals all the do's and don't's needed to make meetings successful. Covers advance preparation, chairing, controlling discussions, effective participation and use of minutes. Essential reading for both organisers and participants. 'Don't arrange or attend another meeting without reading it', recommended one reader. A 'straightforward reminder of the rules' said another.

About the author

I have written many books for business, but more recently I have had what my daughter calls "proper books" published. Three novels: "Long Overdue", "Loose Ends" and "A Rather Curious Crime"; also three books of light-hearted travel writing all set in South East Asia. "First class at last" features a journey on the Orient Express of Asia, out from Singapore, through Malaysia and into Thailand, "Beguiling Burma" features a river trip, and "Smile because it happened" is about things that make you smile in the land of smiles: Thailand.

I am active in the writing world, am a Fellow of SWWJ and a member of the Society of Authors, I write regularly for "Writing Magazine, give talks about my writing (especially the travel writing) and have also conducted writing workshops.
