I am delighted to have been helping administrators, secretaries, receptionists and PAs to find ways to improve how they work since January 2000, after over 20 years as a secretary and then PA myself.   I cover areas from shorthand, speedwriting and touch typing, through minute taking, reception skills and business writing, up to individual PA coaching (full details at the website www.bakerthompsonassoc.co.uk).

In May 2009 my speedwriting system book was published and can be bought from the publishers website http://www.uolearn.com/speedwriting/speedwritinglookinside.html or from Amazon.

I regularly facilitate workshops in the Middle and Far East and present at PAs' seminars around the UK.

I was a secretary and PA for over 20 years and can empathise with the issues delegates have.  Sessions can be tailored for individual company's specific requirements and training is informal, discussion based and relevant.

I also can provide Colour Me Beautiful consultations either separately or as part of tailored courses.
