About Me

Jim Ewan is a professional speaker and presenter/MC, but he hasn’t always been!
His career has spanned bag filler in a grocery store, IT consultant so long ago it wasn’t even called IT, insurance salesman, society photographer, taxi driver and more.
He has worked for and with all types of organisation from one-man-bands to blue chip multi-nationals.
He knows a little about teams having in the past trained and managed sales people and been director of a number of different companies.
A founder member and past president of the Professional Speakers Association and finalist in Toastmasters International Humorous Speaking Contests, Jim is also a gold medal speaker and holds the prestigious LAMDA Diploma for public speaking.
He also knows about personal achievement having completed three London Marathons, 30 half-marathons on consecutive days and, more recently, engaging in what almost turned out to be an experiment in survival – the 2007 Marathon des Sables, 150-mile foot race through the Sahara Desert.
Since reviewing a book about becoming a film extra in 2000 for his local newspaper, Jim has appeared in numerous corporate films, feature movies and TV shows including game shows, and educational TV programmes
