BIOGRAPHY
Guy Browning has two key characteristics necessary for great business communication: a thorough understanding of commercial issues and a highly developed sense of humour. Known as the 'David Attenborough of the business jungle', he created The Guardian's Office Politics and Relationship Maths columns and, appropriately, presented Guy Browning's Small Talk on Radio 4.
Originally an advertising copywriter, Guy's expertise lies in the use of creativity in business. He now runs Smokehouse, helping companies conceive innovative products, services and processes, and new ways of communicating. He is also one of the most compelling conference speakers, showing how people in every part of the enterprise can use intelligence, initiative and imagination to tackle any core issues.
After dinner Guy is rated amongst the funniest business speakers on the circuit. He slices straight through management clichés, reveals the true purpose of conferencing and offers some invaluable tips on how to scale the greasy pole. They include: get yourself noticed by volunteering (but remember, work itself makes you almost invisible); steer well clear of meetings (just tell them you're in a meeting), and ignore all emails (most of which are bio-degradable).
Guy has also written a clutch of hugely entertaining books. His 'oeuvre' includes Weak at the Top (the uncensored diary of the last cavemanager), Never Hit a Jellyfish with a Spade (how to survive life's smaller challenges) and Maps of my Life, which he describes as an autobiography without the bad bits. 2010 sees Guy's first foray into film, Tortoise In Love. It's a low-budget romantic comedy financed by and starring locals from his own Oxfordshire village.
