Speaker preferences:

· 40-60 minute engagement

· Data Projector – PowerPoint slide presentations (please provide a template ahead of time if you would like organisation logos etc. to be used). Presentations are typically large file sizes as I use video inserts to illustrate different techniques and dynamics.

· A copy of the presentation material can be made available for circulation to delegates after the presentation.

· Please note that I do live in Cape Town. While I frequently move between the provinces, my schedule can be a little eclectic in terms of predicting which side of the country I will be. Travel arrangements can be discussed and coordinated with Simone at my office directly.

· Do note that my availability for remote/ teams style presentations is limited as my topics are more suited to in-person audiences.

Notes:

Please do note that I am hearing impaired and may require assistance during Q&A sessions to ensure that I hear/ understand questions correctly 😊
