Eilidh Milnes

Twenty years ago, working as a volunteer for the Red Cross, a nursing sister said, "Eilidh I don't know what you are on, but you should bottle it, people love your happy spirit!" Her kind words gave me the impetus "to bottle it!" Today I find myself working with individuals and companies to help them boost morale, raise confidence and productivity. As an empowerment speaker I offer a fresh perspective on effective communication. "Within two minutes of meeting Eilidh, I wanted her involved in boosting staff morale, that's the sort of impact she has on people!" Jon Maslen-Jones, General Manager, Compass. Other clients: BAE Systems, PWC and Hochtief, One customer reported a reduction in sickness rate by 2% and attrition rate down by 3%. following my targeted intervention. My McArthur clan motto is 'Listen o' Listen!' which is apt for a speaker. My ancestors would have screeched this battle cry, hurtling out of the Scottish Highlands, brandishing claymores! My modern day approach does not physically threaten; however my programmes laced with humour; do take a challenging look at how we communicate.
