Dr. Simon Raybould started life as a research scientist, with a PhD looking at the causes of childhood cancers. It's this intellectually rigorous approach that differentiates him from most presentation trainers...but he's also been a lighting designer for dance companies, a playwright, an author, a teacher, a trainer, professional speaker, and a fire-eater.
