Public Speaking

I’m a confident public speaker who enjoys giving talks on business and technology (work-related) and history (personal passion). I have spoken at academic and professional conferences as well as interest and hobby groups, in a personal and business capacity as well as on behalf of organisations such as Manchester Friends of the Earth.

I’m a member of the History group at Warrington U3A and have been giving talks to members for over 12 years.

I have delivered talks in person and over a number of different online platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Jitsi.

As well as delivering my own talks, I have chaired many sessions at conferences over the years.

Feedback

Feedback from my talks includes:

“Paul’s talk is going down very, very well. Excellently given, and this is fantastic advice for everyone in a technical role, considering contracting.”

“Excellent talk. Lots of useful info.”

Past talks

Most of my past talks are listed here. I am often asked to give the same talk again, either at a different group or because the membership has changed.
