Lunch and Learn: Google My Business- a necessity for your business!

Watch back: Google My Business- a necessity for your business!

My motto in life and work is 'Meet people, make friends, and help them.' Getting to know people is the best way of finding out what makes them tick in terms of goals, ambitions, dreams, interests and life in general. I help people by listening to what they need, suggesting ideas, sending links, making introductions, adding value, and offering relevant products and services, where appropriate. When friends have a problem, I love to help them fix it.
My varied portfolio career means I have knowledge, experience and contacts in many fields. I am an expert in book publishing, media, mentoring, writing, editing, marketing, crowdfunding, sponsorship, social enterprise and commercial start-ups.
I'd love to get to know you better, so I can help you get to where you want to be.
