I suppose you might say, that I have lived my life back to front! I was educated at a convent, married early (well, it was easier than getting a job!) and spent over twenty years lolling about playing tennis and going out to lunch. That all changed when I discovered writing, radio and TV and suddenly found myself "in demand". For several years I took to the after dinner speaking circuit in the Westcountry until, in December 1996, I made my London debut at the famous chef Anton Mosimann's exclusive dining club. Happily, this work continues, and I have enjoyed speaking at many other prestigious London venues. I like to think that I have a relaxed and individual approach to public speaking and have given several highly successful seminars on the subject in London as well as working with clients individually.

I adore my work: 'late development' is so fulfilling. If I'm invited to speak to your group or organisation I would hope to offer you encouragement and inspiration for your own life, and I promise you won't be bored!
