ABOUT AILEEN

At college Aileen studied graphic design, but even then, one of her professors noted that she would be ‘the woman in the suit’ in the design agency. Once she was working professionally as a graphic designer, she became increasingly obsessed with the client presentation process and how to communicate design through words. This led to her learning compulsively about communication and, in turn, to her becoming a specialist in the field.

Aileen uses humor to communicate with her audiences. She knows that when you are laughing, you are open for learning. Aileen has a trainer’s qualification in NLP and uses her knowledge of the brain and accelerated learning to help her audiences leave with real skills and knowledge.

Before she left England, Aileen was the top humorous speaker in the UK and Ireland. She has found that her pointed humor and wit works equally well in the USA. Aileen has made quite an impact on audiences in America, and the people in Louisiana have made quite an impression on her. She is busy with speaking, training and coaching engagements both locally and nationally and internationally.

Aileen is an author – her first book, NOTES ON SHINING, tips to improve your presentation skills is available on amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, and most easily by clicking on the bright yellow book to the right. She also writes a weekly communication column called “That’s what she said”.



At school Aileen was given the school prize for “originality” – None of her teachers could explain why.


When she is home Aileen works from a small white house with a big white desk, and a white dog called Sno. -UPDATE – She now also has a puppy, called Cali(fornia)-


Aileen achieved her life-long dream of learning to surf in California in April last year.


She was made an honorary Cajun by the mayor of Lafayette, where she now lives.
