About the Speaker...
As a qualified management trainer and legal advocate, Michael has been speaking to groups, small and large, for many years. Since retirement he has expanded a lifelong interest in history and is involved in several research groups. He has a degree in politics and law and has published legal text books. Latterly, he also published books on the Pentrich Rising and a children’s introduction to the First World War. His main periods of interest encompass radicalism and revolution, 1720 to 1860, including the industrial revolution, and the intensively interesting period of 1919 to 1939.
About his talks...
The talks are usually supported by a PowerPoint presentation but some involve elements of role-play by key characters. He will come equipped with everything necessary; although if the venue is fitted with a screen or suitable wall, it saves time and effort. The talks normally last from 60 to 75 minutes, but can be adjusted to suit your needs; for example some groups require a refreshment break. Questions, discussions and ‘challenges’ are always welcome!
Fee:
Fees are £50, plus expenses at cost from Swanwick in central Derbyshire. I am prepared to travel a reasonable distance, but normally in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and North Leicestershire.
