Talks and Workshops

Editor Mike Donovan has been talking to audiences throughout his business career. In London with the Economist Intelligence Unit and Financial Tines, and more recently as founder editor of Practical Farm Ideas. As a journalist his aim is effective communication

Evening talks

Have you ever been to a conference that draws people in with a roster of famous keynote speakers, only to end up disappointed with content that's all fluff or high-level theory? Or speakers you have heard before?

Normally lasting around an hour but stretching longer with a keen audience. 

Making a booking

Email what you want and give your possible dates. He will reply in a couple of days, so if you hear nothing, please try again.

Talks for students

Younger audiences need a presentation which keeps up a good pace, and a contents that is understandable. When it comes to machinery many students benefit from some basic economics being included in the session. We also are keen to get over the 'soil story'.

Workshops, conferences, speech and commercial writing, 

There's often very little conferring at farming conferences. Workshops provide a greater opportunity for participants to find answers to difficulties.  Mike is an experienced and lively conference chairman.

Hi Mike

Thank you so much for coming last night. It was great to meet you and the feedback on the talks has been fantastic. I hope you got back safe last night.

I will have a check with the venue regarding the box of cards and let you know.  In the meantime, I would really like to keep in touch and hopefully meet up again.

Thanks once again for a fun and informative talk.
