I’m always pleased to receive invitation to speak, lecture or debate and try to fit in as many such engagements as I can.

In recent years I have lectured at:

• Westminster University
• The Westminster Foundation
• Tsinghua University, Beijing
• International School, Toulouse
• The Qatar Foundation

I have spoken at:

• The Guardian Hay on Wye Festival
• The Inverness Book Fair
• The Electoral Reform Society
• The Norwegian Public Relations Association

I have debated motions on politics and journalism at:

• The Oxford Union
• The Durham Union
• Intelligence Squared

My media training work is usually on a personal, one-to-one basis but I am also available for larger groups. Most of my clients would, I am sure, prefer to remain anonymous but they include several Cabinet and other government ministers, authors, company board members, charity officials, even a rather well known stand up comedian who likes to wear women’s clothes.

I have done media and political consultancy for, among others, Britain in Europe, Digital UK and the Labour Party in the UK, Norway and Malta.
