John Bishop

I call myself a communicator because just about everything I do involves some aspect of communications. It might be:

  • working with a client to improve their communications (PR),
  • helping people to deliver their messages in the media (training)
  • writing business and political stories (journalism)
  • broadcasting and commentary
  • writing speeches
  • facilitating meetings or being an emcee at events

I am interested in a wide range of matters from governance to social policy, the media and PR industries, to economic development and solo and home businesses. That's what I cover as a journalist and commentator. It's what I write and talk about. You can receive RSS feeds on each of prosperity, politics and media/PR from the blog sites above.

I love unpacking problems and finding ways forward, searching for solutions and being stimulated by the company and ideas of others, whether that in business and economics, politics and commercial life or at a personal level where attitudes, actions and expectations are so important. That's what I do as a facilitator and strategist.

And I love stimulating others to think differently, which is why I can be provocative, against the tide, and critical of conventional thinking. That's what I do as a speaker and presenter.

As a trainer and also as a presenter, I aim to transfer knowledge and instill confidence.

And as passionate Wellingtonian you can see my weekly take on the city and the things that make a difference to our lives at www.wotzon.co.nz.
