Author

I am a freelance journalist and writer, and have been living in northern Spain with my wife and two young children since 2003. After receiving countless comments from people keen to follow our example, but who for one reason or another never quite managed to make the jump, I decided to do something to help. The upshot is "Should I Stay Or Should I Go? The Truth About Moving Abroad And Whether It's Right For You," an e-book guide for people seeking advice on whether or not to move overseas. It aims to help readers clarify their thoughts and feelings about what living abroad would really mean for them, and to give them that extra impetus to pursue the life of their dreams, wherever that may turn out to be. If you're interested in more details about the book you can visit my website at http://www.expatliving101.com/

Founder and editor of H ezine - the online magazine and networking website for media, creative and showbiz talent.

I am a professional business and consumer writer and author, with 16 published books and literally thousands of business and marketing projects completed for some of the largest and smallest companies in the world. In effect I help people and organisations get better results from their writing by coaching, editing or ghostwriting the project for them. I work across all media from entire books to documents, brochures, ads, press releases, articles, audio and video scripts, plus live speeches and presentations.

Tony Burgess is a Director of the Academy of High Achievers.

Tony has a degree in Psychology, he is a qualified teacher, hypnotherapist, firewalk instructor and Master Practitioner in NLP.

As an experienced trainer, facilitator, professional speaker and coach, most of Tony's time is now spent designing, co-ordinating and delivering life-enriching programmes for people who are hungry for more fulfilment and success in their lives. He has worked with business leaders, teams within organisations, educators, students, sports people and members of the public to help them to tap into and release the full potential of their personal resources, allowing them to attain whatever outcomes they set out to achieve and much more besides. Before becoming a founding Director of Academy of High Achievers, Tony ran his own successful coaching and training company.

A successful coach, trainer, entrepreneur, speaker and author. I'm passionate about helping people to achieve the levels of success and happiness they aspire to. I also lead annual retreats to South Africa for people who want to reconnect to the important things and people in their lives. A life long student of the art of the possible. A dream catcher and somewhat nomadic. I would love to live in a motor caravan, travel the world and earn my living by speaking, writing books and articles.

My life purpose is to 'share what I know to help others to grow' and I have been doing just this through my writing (books and articles), teaching, keynote speaking and consultancy for about 20 years, I guess. I 'know' about writing, publishing and running a portable business based on what I love to do. You see, I am married to a man who works in the oil industry and we have been overseas (now in our fifth country) since the day after we got married in 1987. Luckily, my passion for writing has become the perfect portable career, or 'career in my suitcase'. I am an expat entrepreneur. All my books have grown out of something I have done for myself - networking, finding my passion, being an entrepreneur and of course, writing.

My clients, friends and readers say I am both inspiring and empowering. That is what I hope to achieve in everything I do.

I now live in The Hague, with Ian and our boys, Sam (16) and Josh (14), a cat (Lily) and about six electric guitars, a drum kit, piano, PA system and a huge poster of the crowd at a Metallica concert on the wall! Like me, the men in my life know what they love to do too!

Broke and homeless at the age of 28...David used the principles in his book 'The Soul Millionaire' to turn his life around. From the depths of despair he rose to become a master of his craft as a Financial Planner, creating revenue streams enjoyed by only the top 1% of his profession in the UK.

Now, through his company The Soul Millionaire Ltd, he is engaged to coach and train entrepreneurs, professional advisers and corporate executives, to create 'Purpose Driven Businesses'. He also travels internationally as a Professional Speaker for conferences, conventions, seminars and workshops.

Yet, it is in his role as a work-in-progress husband and father of four children where he sees his greatest adventure of all!

I believe in coaching as a means to effect powerful change.  This has led me to debate and advocate many aspects of coaching.  I have appeared on BBC Radio Stoke, Merseyside and Manchester for interviews and phone-in coaching, and wrote a regular newspaper coaching column for over three years.

My Executive Coaching practice is just about to enter its 8th year.  In 2006 by combining my learning from coaching leaders in organisations www.thedirectorscoach.com with educational input from Jack Stewart, I co-authored my first book - ‘The Coaching Parent’, www.thecoachingparent.com

This meant the creation of an accessible, readily available approach to help adults provide younger members of society with a means to realise their talents.  Previously workshops had proven time consuming, reaching relatively small numbers.  Now through the Internet, this work is available in many countries including France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Japan and the United States of America.  That means a lot to me, as my aim is to make a difference with this work in as many parts of the world as possible.   

I am married to Laura, have two daughters, Nicole and Anne-Marie, and three grandchildren, Marcus, Aiden and Annika.
