About this event

Welcome to March at PSA Birmingham!

Nights are getting shorter. Days are getting longer. And the speakers are getting… ready to speak more!

This March we are building a fantastic evening for all your aspiring speakers.

We have a keynote from Malcolm Budd who is travelling in from the East Midlands to share his talk ‘How to make difficult or dull subjects more engaging’.

We’re delighted to have Charlie Hart and Helen Winter share their showcases:

Charlie will be speaking about “Growing into her weirdness”.

Helen will be talking about “Culture as a digital transformation strategy for enabling business agility”.

We will also have a selection of activities to keep the speaking muscles exercised!

Networking.
Great food.
Amazing speeches.
And plenty of laughter.

If speaking is your jam.
Or presenting is your pickle.
Then come and check us out.

You can also follow us on LinkedIn for updates on events → https://www.linkedin.com/company/birmingham-region-professional-speaking-association/

See you there!

Malcolm Budd - Regional President - PSA East Midlands

Mal Budd is a consultant and speaker in international export controls and sanctions, delivering risk-based, proportionate compliance solutions and workshops to SME’s and corporates that help them navigate the complex world of international trade compliance to keep them in business, in profit and out of court!

With a legal background, Mal spent 35 years working globally in industry, mainly in procurement, commercial and export compliance roles.  He has travelled extensively including secondments to Pakistan and Germany.

As an active Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply, he is a guest lecturer with MSc Supply Chain students at Aston, Birmingham and Warwick University Business Schools, and regularly mentors the next generation of law and business students Leicester de Montfort University.  He is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade and Institute of Directors International Trade Group.

Mal’s ethos is to make the complexity of international regulation manageable to digest and work with; making a potentially dull subject more relevant and engaging through using his experience and anecdotes.  He is an interpreter and ‘entertrainer’ in his field.

When not supporting clients or students, Mal can be found walking the fells of The Peak District or his native Lake District, or on basketball courts around the country as a National League Basketball Referee.
