You'd be surprised ...... government organisations pay ridiculous amounts for 'consultants' to come into schools to impare their knowledge on their pupils.

I have seen this a lot in the IT world. I have been to numerous 'seminars' where I've known more than the lecturer and meanwhile the company has paid this gay £1000 to stand there for 8 hours telling an audience what most of them already knew anyway.

Imagine what its like when you involve the public sector. The waste becomes exponentially higher.

I have a feeling that she won't win with a business like this though. Sugar is more likely to go with someone who has a product - like Tom.

I understand why a Government or organisation would pay a professional with a reputation, experience and something to say but try as I might I can see no content from her website nor have I ever heard her state wjhat she says. People are not daft they want to know what she will say.

Dont tell me Daddy makes her appointments? (Kuwait seems to feature a lot, you know that deprived backwater where children really need motivation...)

If you look at her web page, she has been all over the world, and I don't think she would travel here and there for a mere £1000 or £2000. I wouldn't be surprised that her fees were minimum of 5 figures.

For what service?

I'm not so sure, Sugar's always said he's quite passionate about youth, including projects that get them into business and apprenticeships. If she can steer it more down that direction, I was thinking it sounds right up his street and she could really be the one to beat.

You have the answer to your own question in another thread that you opened regarding Melody's business. Of course you added your negative connotations to it. But I don't find what she is doing nothing meaningless and without a purpose.

If people/governments pay her loads of money to go to their countries to do speaches and seminars, I suppose it should be because she is good at what she is doing and she gets results.

And your evidence for this is what?

He doesn't have evidence. That is why there is an 'if' at the beginning of the sentence.
