Stephen Allender has spent 22
years in Management Training - the first seven with a firm of
Management Consultants and the next fifteen as a partner in FIRST
TRAIN. He is a well-known speaker on Management Communications
skills at many of the largest and best-known companies in the
UK and throughout Europe. A self-confessed introvert and a hopeless
raconteur, he believes that neither of these need hinder a person
from becoming a competent, and persuasive speaker.
