How sweet that I still get a lovely buzz from talking to a TV camera…

Even more than 30 years since the first time, at the dawn of my BBC days.

On this occasion, recording videos for the website to accompany my new book.

Compelling Communication is out next month. Huzzah! 😍

To be a great public speaker…

You need to play a part.

And critically, the one which best engages your audience.

One of the joys of writing a book…

One of the joys of my job:

New places, new experiences.

Producing a video at the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science, at the University of Dundee.

(Is this lab coat my colour?! 😳)

And also…

Enjoying some of the sights - and sustenance- of such a splendid city.
