I have completed an BA in Graphic Design and an MA in Digital Media. I was a trainer / lecturer on Web Design, and today I'm the Director / Co-Founder of Silicon Beach Training as well as a keen photographer and photoshop lover. Silicon Beach Training is a Brighton, UK training company with a wide range of IT and Business courses such as HR Training, PRINCE2 Training, Project Management Training, Time Management Training, Change Management Training, Social Media Training, SEO Training and Photoshop Training. I'm always trying to offer new courses depending on people's needs, with PRINCE2 Training in Birmingham being the most recent new addition.
When not taking photographs in and around Brighton, looking after my family and running my business, I can be found online and on the Silicon Beach Training blog, writing on all things management, self-improvement, photography and social media (which she has also taken training courses for).
As an experienced business owner I have a lot of advice to offer as a public speaker and a trainer.

This takes control out of the hands of the manager, often making him focus solely on employees when the business would benefit from more attention being paid to the customer. Apart from being a stressful situation for the manager there is a risk that of declining customer satisfaction.
