PR Work

In addition to my personal and business coaching, I also often work with PR firms on a wide range of client campaigns.  I provide expert input on issues such as lifestyle choice, time and stress management, relationships, health and body, interpersonal communication, presentation skills, self-esteem and self-confidence.  The form of my contribution varies depending on the structure of the PR campaign itself.  I am often interviewed by national and local radio and TV stations as a part of a broadcast/media day.  I regularly write or contribute to pieces for national newspapers and magazines, give expert quotes and provide other input to journalists for articles they are commissioned to write. 

I currently write part of a monthly feature in Red Magazine called ‘It’s Your Time’, in which, as the ‘Time Doctor’, I provide regular time and stress management advice to readers.  I recently appeared in four issues of  Bella Magazine, providing tips to readers coping with change at pivotal points in their life (e.g., returning to work after children; starting up a business).  This work was commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills.  I have been featured in an article in the Guardian and have been quoted in various newspapers, for instance the Daily Mail, the Independent and the Guardian.  Some examples of magazines to which I’ve provided expert input include: Men’s Health, She, Top Sante, Men’s Fitness and Woman and Home.

Event Speaking and Workshop Presentations

Another strand of my work involves speaking on a variety of topics at different events.  For example, I recently gave a presentation at the Chartered Institute of Public Relations on time management as a part of their ‘Freshly Squeezed’ series of breakfast sessions aimed at supporting their members in the early years of their PR careers. Here are a brief selection of comments from delegates at that event:

“Constructive and practical advice on how to deal with issues that have cropped up in my office and life.  Very relevant.”

“Excellent speaker, passionate about the topic.”

“Great that the presentation was set in a life context, and not just a list of tips.”

I also present workshops on different topics, e.g., time and stress management, work-life balance, presentation skills, to different audiences.  Very often companies employ me to present advice on a given topic to members of a particular department or team to offer them support on issues that will enable them become happier and more effective at work.
