A few words about you and your passion:

I get very excited about business and I have the greatest job in the world; helping businesses to focus on the right things in life in order to grow. The interesting thing is that these are skills I have learnt outside the business environment. I never wear a ‘buiness hat’ and I urge you not to if you do. Everybody is far more skilled than we would like to think. Self deprecation is cute and all that, but we all help people in extraordinary ways that we never give ourselves credit for.

A few lines about the history of your subject:

Many think that prostitution is the oldest job in the world. I happen to think its sales. If you are religiously inclined, Adam ‘sold’ an apple in the garden of Eden. If not, then the prostitute must have has an idea of sales before any transaction was secured. Sales ain’t new and perceptions aren’t normally good. I hope to have a great discussion with attendees about unlocking some real potential.
