Helen Wilkie, Contributing Editor, Communications

Helen Wilkie is passionate about communication. When she speaks-in a keynote, concurrent session, in-house workshop or one-on-one consulting or coaching-her audience is captivated by that passion. She strongly believes that in business, communication directly affects the bottom line, and her mission is to help business people get their message across, so that the effect will be positive.

A graduate of the University of Strathclyde and Jordanhill College of Education, both in Glasgow, Helen taught commerce and economics in Scotland for two years. When she came to Canada, she moved away from education and into the world of business, where her career has encompassed marketing, human resources, international, shareholder relations and corporate development.

Blending her teaching skills with her business knowledge and communication talents, Helen speaks on all aspects of communication. Her content-rich programs are presented with humour and knowledge, offering a lively, enjoyable learning experience. Her unique Communication Contract is the core from which all her messages spring.

Helen is the author of "Message Received and Understood!" and "The Hidden Profit Center", as well as many articles on communication. She is an active member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and past editor of its newsletter, "So To Speak".
