About my talks...
My presentations are normally PowerPoint form with a lot of pictures and videos from my career so far, however if this is not possible I’m happy to be a stand alone (no pun intended) speaker. I can bring my own laptop if needed but do not have my own projector or speakers. I’m flexible with timings, some talks have been 20 minutes, some I’ve done for 1-2 hours, what ever suits your needs best.
Fee:
Fee: £250 as well as reasonable expenses – however I’m open to negotiation on the fee depending on the event.
Areas to travel: I’m very flexible and drive so am open to anywhere in the UK as long as there are reasonable expenses, however, I am based in Essex.
