Maria Carlton

I'm the GO-TO Girl for Professional Experts who speak and write. I've spoken in several countries, written several books (including best sellers) and trained extensively as a coach, all on the back of my own expertise as a brand communication specialist. This means I've some very special skills and talents I bring to the work I do - and I network extensively worldwide with other top pro-experts in both the publishing and speaking industries. I'm also past National and Chapter (Auckland) President of National Speakers Association of NZ, and understand really well where the non-fiction writer and speaker needs the most help to develop their profile and marketable skills to take their message to the world. I've recently set up an online community called Idea to Author-ity to help people do exactly that and connect with others who can help on their journey to become famous to their most desired target market. http://IdeatoAuthority.ning.com is free and resource rich. My focus is on helping to grow the absolute professionalism of pro-experts globally.
