For the past 21 years, Ian has built up a very positive reputation and has spoken at various conferences, in N.Z. Australia, England and Eire.

Ian was born in England and emigrated to NZ 25 years ago. Since then, he has become well known in NZ as a leading speaker on motivation and other staff and management issues, as well as non-specific humorous observations.

His easygoing style has resulted in many requests to do “after-dinner” type speeches, panel discussions and MC at various events.

There are many advantages to accessing Ian for staff training, including his willingness to work with managers and staff, facilitating solutions based strategies that take into account individual learning styles, rather than the standard “one size fits all” approach.

He has worked in health and private sectors, gaining experience in training and staff development, human resources and Organisational development and has become known for his expertise in human development and its effects on Organisational and individual work performance.
