For 30 years I have developed and facilitated management development courses across the globe. In so doing I have on many occasion been congratulated on my writing skills. So much so that I have been contracted by training clients to write their press releases, advertising material and annual report introductions for them. I am an aspiring author and hope to have my first published book out on the market by the end of 2019. I am a clear communicator, and as you can see from this brief description, I write as people speak. I try to simplify everything, and focus more on the understanding of the reader than on political or grammatical correctness. I do however believe that my two chosen languages, English and Afrikaans, are noble and pure, and should be treated as such by writers and speakers alike.
