Helen Kendall-Tobias

Public Speaker and Image Consultant

About my talks and demonstrations: Illustrated talks for schools, groups and clubs. My talks last approximately 45-50 minutes, with additional time for questions and discussion. Some talks include a handout or complimentary brochure for the audience. I'm based near Maidstone in Kent – and travel across the county to the outskirts of London. For some of my demonstrations I just need a large table. When other equipment is needed, I bring it all along myself - including a projection screen for my on-screen presentations.

About Helen: In addition to her one-to-one work with personal clients, Helen Kendall-Tobias, owner of IMAGINATION Image Consultancy has developed a number of talks which she presents to larger groups, e.g. ladies’ sections at golf clubs, women’s groups and social clubs, charity fundraising groups etc.
