Diane Simpson is one of the most entertaining and informative speakers you will ever hear.

After dinner presentations, luncheons, medical conferences, seminars, training sessions and informal gatherings...Diane offers a range of talks appropriately tailored to her audience.
Often described as a cross between Jo Brand and Shirley Valentine, her humour is dry and witty; her anecdotes are first-hand and amazing and her hilarious, but non-invasive audience participation is a well established norm.

Her books include: "Graphology with Diane Simpson"; "The Analysis of Handwriting" and "Your Handwriting and You". She also writes the hugely popular Graphology column in Marketing magazine. She is also an expert in the use of fonts ( a fontologist).
