Why Invite me?
As a social voyeur from an early age and with a strong interest in psychology due to his own struggles with depression and suicide, he was always interested in the motivation behind peoples behavior. He excelled as a salesperson by adopting his own sales philosophy that has seen him excel in all of his ventures, bar one. His Little Voice workshops which he developed over a few years to help people overcome negative self-talk, have changed the lives of all participants (300+) - some slightly, some enormously. Colin has a rare and eclectic knowledge and combined with a natural disposition to humor, his presentation are informative, fun and memorable.
