I’ve been speaking since I was roughly 11 months old. Mainly I asked for food back then.
My speech has become slightly more sophisticated in the intervening years.
Plugged into Wild
Plugged into wild is a poignant, hilarious story about humanity’s tumultuous relationship with wilderness. I draw on twenty years as a wildlife TV presenter, safari guide and teacher to spin yarns of adventure, outrageous humans, astonishing wildlife and breathtaking wilderness that show how dangerously disconnected we’ve become from nature. The hysterical and heart-stopping tales also chart a way for us to reconnect with the ancient part of us all that is wild.
Plugged into wild can be live-streamed to wherever you happen to be in the world, on whatever platform you find most convenient. Alternatively, I will come and deliver it to your office, school, conference, playgroup etc…
Disclaimer: I make no attempt to apply what I say to a business or boardroom context (mainly because I find this sort of thing deeply nauseating). Plugged into wild showcases the majesty of nature, gives a laugh and gently suggests a deeper connection with wilderness.
