Farewell, cruel world (of Twitter/X).

As I choose helping over hating…

I’m migrating away from here.

Friends can find me on Facebook.

For more professional contacts, try LinkedIn.

I might just also have a dabble at Instagram.

Hope to see you on one of those platforms. 😊

Looking for a summer read?

Something to stretch your mind, and enhance your skillset…

Whilst being entertaining as well.

How about my new book, Compelling Communication.

For success in public speaking, writing, and storytelling.

Have you seen something which sums up your hometown?

I’ve long loved being an observer of the world.

So couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw…

A gang of builders, working on a house…

The radio up loud. But what were they listening to?

It’s so very Cambridge…

BBC Radio 4!

When teaching I always try to educate AND entertain.

However…

Having received the photos from the Motor Neurone Disease Association researchers conference…

Where I ran a workshop on public speaking for their scientists…

Apparently, I was also doing Saturday Night Fever. 🕺

(You can see how good a photographer he is, because he’s managed to make me look reasonably human!)

A trick of IT can transform your presentations.

I saw it in full and glorious action when teaching at the Motor Neurone Disease Association researchers’ conference.

To reveal the insight…

And enjoy its impressive effect…

Thoroughly enjoying essential #communication #skills course by @SimonHallNews et al at @Cambridge_Uni.

1st lesson: "beauty of brevity and splendour of simplicity, the value of our unique voice, and the power of the picture."
