Speaking
Ideas worth taking back to school.
I've spoken at hundreds of events, from staff training days and headteacher conferences to national events including BERA, researchED and the Wellington Festival of Education. My talks are warm, interactive and research-informed – with a strong emphasis on making ideas memorable and useful. I even speak about public speaking itself!
“I don’t usually think of educational conferences in terms of their comedy value, but James Mannion’s presentation was a hoot! His humorous and engaging style made this session both informative and enjoyable.”
