In essence I go into organisations that are struggling to be fully who they are - unlocking potential, removing obstacles.

Its not rocket science, usually 3 things: They've been pulled off their true north, their vision - by commercial imperatives or a shift in the market. They are straining too hard to control their destiny and creating an unhappy atmosphere for staff. They’ve presumed too much about their customers and have blind-spots which are costing them dearly in lost sales.

I just try and call their attention away from the coal-face, the day-to-day and ask them simple questions - confronting them - yes but in a non-confrontational way. And always in their best interests.

Its what I learned to do over 15 years as a fly-on-the-wqall documentary maker for Channel 4. Flies can fly around and have different vantage point and when they settle they can observe carefully and see what’s going on.

I love seeing the surge of energy that rises in people when a new penny drops. And its most often not my penny but theirs.

I often meet people whose voice is trapped in some way. By that, I mean they long to express their ideas in a book or a podcast. They want to communicate a skill on YouTube or through a vlog. They long to write poetry or even to sing in public.

The obstacles are usually a lack of encouragement and allowing fear to keep the door firmly closed.

All I do is help tease out the gift they have—often a gift they already know is there—and encourage them to give it a small try in a low-risk way.

It's a bit like getting an engine started that hasn't been used for a while. It coughs and splutters at first, but when it eventually sparks into life, you hear that engine roar. That can be a game-changing, even life-changing, moment for some people.

So, if you feel you might have a book in you, or you'd love to write songs or speak in public without notes, I would love to help you.

I promise I won't push you beyond what you feel ready to do, but I have rarely met anyone who hasn't overcome the main hurdle with a little encouragement. If you've got it in you, I'll help bring it out.

Why wait? Get in touch.

I used to be so terrified of public speaking I was frightened of getting married ‘cos I knew I’d have to speak at the wedding. Literally.

Now I love to help anyone who needs to get up in front of people either live or on camera.

Its all about helping them discover how they communicate naturally, how they’d be if you weree chatting to them at a barbecue.

I’ve been asked to help some pretty senior people who you’d never think would be nervous of a crowd but I equally love helping anyone who wants to express themself well.
