I’m available for hire. I’m also very polite, so if you offer me a piece of work that I don’t want to do, I’ll still reply quickly and will usually be able to recommend someone who will want to do it. I’ll keep this introduction brief, because I think it’s much easier to get an idea of what someone does by hearing about individual assignments. That’s why most of this section is case studies. Most of my work comes from Taylor-made Communications, where I am Creative Director and a shareholder, and from Clarity, where I used to be a full-time employee and a shareholder. I also take commissions directly. As I mentioned on the introduction to the site, I very rarely have less work than I want, and I’m trying to balance it with the demands of writing a book. But if you’ve got something that you think I could do – or that I might know someone who could do – please tell me about it. I am prepared to discount for anything that sounds fun, interesting or worthwhile.

Jonathan Russell is the Global Head of Buyouts for 3i and has recently become chairman of EVCA, the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association.

Jonathan usually writes his own speeches, but didn’t have time for this one, especially as it would need to be cleared by lots of different people, because of the press scrutiny it would receive and the sensitivity about the role of private equity at the moment. Preparation and interview I was given some rough notes about what his PR and communications people thought he should say, and then I interviewed him, |

Training I have run training courses for, among others, speechwriters at ABB in Zurich, complaint-handlers at the Royal Bank of Scotland in London and Edinburgh, proposal-writers at MSN, and PR people at the Wales Tourist Board in Cardiff. Coaching I have also coached people individually, including executives at the Audit Commission, BT, Moody’s KMV and the Royal Bank of Scotland. I enjoy individual coaching, and am surprised by how quickly people improve. The way I organise it depends on |
