Pink Elephant of the Week

About me

Location	Scotland, United Kingdom
Introduction	BILL MCFARLAN is co-founder and co-owner of The Broadcasting Business and author of the best-selling 'Drop the Pink Elephant'. The idea is simple - Don't think of a pink elephant! Now...what are you thinking of? We often distort our messages by saying what we don't mean instead of what we do mean. "Pink Elephant" Presentation Skills courses point out other common barriers to effective presentation, how to overcome them and win business, win respect and win over your audience. The highlight of Bill's Broadcasting career - which has taken him to the United States, Caribbean, Africa, Middle East, Asia and across Europe - has been leading the Presentation Skills training that concluded in Glasgow winning the Commonwealth Games for the city in 2014. His knowledge and expertise is based on two decades helping blue chip companies get their message across - and even longer as a presenter with BBC, Scottish Television, Sky and Setanta - where he anchored news and sports programmes from the early 1980s to the early years of the new millennium.
