I do talks.

When I was a teenager I was pathetic when it came to talking to new people. I'd freeze up and panic and words wouldn't come out of my mouth at appropriate times. It made making friends difficult and ordering pizza over the phone more or less impossible.

But now I'm not a teenager. Oh no. Now I'm a fully grown adult and I really love talking to new people. I love talking to old people too, people I've known for ages, people I've never met and people I might never meet again. I could talk for hours about anything but I've found just rambling on doesn't really benefit anyone so I've had to narrow it down.

Here is what I could talk to you about:



Social Media for Small Businesses - A 90 minute talk about how to make the best use of all the different social media platforms for small businesses owners. It covers Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and blogging and has been described as being 'oddly entertaining.' It's the same length as a football match but you'll leave feeling less angry and I don't sell pies at half time, sorry.

Selling Yourself on Social Media - This talk is an hour long and tells you all you need to know about creating your own online presence. After a job? Want to be your own boss? About to finish university and worried about what on earth you're going to do next? This could well be the talk for you. Again, there are no snacks, but it's not as long as the other one so you probably won't get peckish.

Copy-right-ing - See how I used a play on words for the title of this talk? It isn't a very good play on words and might require work, but that's what this hour long presentation is all about; making better use of the English language. Copywriting plays a huge part in any marketing and advertising success but if it's all a bit shoddy it will reflect badly on you. Come and learn some tips from the man they* call 'The Human Boggle.'

I charge the bargain price of £100 per hour for my talks and, to date, no-one has nodded off during one. Yay!

If you'd like to book me then you can send an email to ashbillinghay@gmail.com.
Go on, it'll be fun.

*No-one has ever called me 'The Human Boggle' and I hope they never do, it is an awful nickname.
