WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?

I help people laugh at, and learn about, words. In recent times I've:

• tutored in Chinese English at a bank in Taiwan
• preached plain English at a school in Tawa
• warbled to 600 women at a Wellington Town Hall conference
• gabbled gobbledygook to marketers at an Ellerslie Racecourse lunch
• briefed Brits on creative strategy at a Madrid business school
• played the star at a Royal Astronomical Society conference dinner
• disturbed the Hutt Valley Justices of the Peace dinner
• made diplomatic representations to an Honorary Consuls lunch
• left kids and parents asking for more at a school leavers' dinner.

My talks have had names like Plain English As A Second Language, Great Explanations, and Dances With Words - the Use, Abuse, Origins and Absurdities of the World's Craziest Language.

But I'm happy to tailor one for your audience. Let's talk.
