Since returning from Race Around the World in 1998, I have done numerous speaking engagements. The tentative title for the talk is ‘Me – A Brief History in Four Parts’ which really stands out on the ICMI speakers’ catalogue, because everyone else’s talk is called ‘The Challenge of Change’, or something similarly useful and alliterative.

My general theme is changing careers and chasing dreams, and so secretly I wish my talk was called The Challenge of Change too. And there’s usually a song of some description, mainly so I can continue to tax deduct my CD collection.

I have also done heaps of MC work, which is a good effort given the amount of time I spent in speech therapy when I was ten. The expression “ladies and gentlemen, it’s my great pleasure to introduce…” is one of mine.

If you want a bio to introduce me, you can use this one here.


My speaking agents are Carson White
