After 36 years as a writer and Trainer in Management, Business English and Speed Reading, I now spend some of my time writing the blogs for la Academia and looking after the website.

Those years spent as a freelance trainer and writer meant I was working with computers from 1985 and picked up lots of IT skills along the way. I even learnt how to strip down and rebuild a PC – not something I would want to do these days. It left me with a love of all things technological.

Writing has always been my passion. My many books and articles include Advanced Presentation Techniques, Choosing and Using Training Consultants, Warehouse Management, Time Management for Retailers, Understanding Stress, 20 Training Workshops for Listening Skills and Competency Based Interviewing Techniques.
I am also a qualified copy editor and proofreader.

Working here enables me to combine the three things I most enjoy – writing, computers and editing.
