About The Speaker...
Nigel Palmer served with Hampshire Constabulary for 30 years. He worked with the uniform branch in city and rural postings as well as CID, Traffic, and the Control Room taking emergency calls. Promotion to sergeant gave further experience in various departments. He has been on patrol in New York, Los Angeles, Washington and Miami. What he learnt in his career, how it impacted him, his health and his life he has brought to life in over 100 talks including two in America. After leaving the police he spent time working with barristers on criminal trials before becoming a speaker and life coach.
About my talk...
After thirty years of experience as a police officer, then seventeen years as a life coach, I have plenty of stories to share with you. I have worked with a variety of people, from the Lords of Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) to the homeless in city centres. I can describe what it was like to make decisions in life threatening situations to sitting quietly, talking as one human being to another, when the ‘other’ was an armed robber. I’ll explain which incidents moved me, which made me laugh and how lessons I learned translated into everyday life. My talks last about 45 minutes and I allow another thirty minutes for questions and answers at the end. I can tailor my talk to the interests of your group and speak more about what motivated me and/or how trauma and years of punishing shift work taught me what wellbeing really is.
