Two ways to work with Bob
Make the message stronger.
Make the next move clearer.
Whether the problem is how the outside world understands your organisation or how you handle a decision inside it, Bob brings experience, perspective and direct, considered advice.
01Public Relations
Your reputation depends on more than getting noticed.
“If you think PR is only about telling lies, then I won't help you.
If you think PR is only about telling the truth, maybe I can't help you
– but, if you think PR is telling the truth as you'd want it told,
then I can help you.”
I offer public relations (PR) advice and guidance.
I can also make anything you write – from, say, press releases to major reports – become more impactful.
For 30 years, I ran a PR organisation, specialising in the corporate learning technologies sector – working internationally (mainly throughout the UK and Europe, the US, India and even Australia).

The wider perspective
Five questions.
One answer.
For many years I've pursued several careers in parallel, detailed below, and I'd love the opportunity to work with you.
- Who's an insightful, empathetic, reliable Business Mentor – with decades of experience of, among other things, running a business that built a worldwide reputation?
- Who's a creative, experienced specialist in business-to-business public relations, with highly developed writing and editing skills producing persuasive text?
- Who's a published author of books on history, corporate learning, bel canto singing technique and faith-related subjects?
- Who's an engaging, entertaining speaker and (non-conformist Christian) preacher?
- Who's a tenor soloist – in the classical tradition – specialising in ballads and light opera?
“The answers to any or all these questions could be me, Bob Little.”
