Who is Shirley Taylor?

Hello, and thanks for visiting my website. Allow me to take this opportunity to introduce myself.

Thanks to some great teachers on my full time and part-time college courses (I have to say that - one of them was my Mum!) I obtained many advanced secretarial qualifications including the LCCI Examinations Board Private Secretary's Diploma (Fourth Level) and a shorthand speed of 170 wpm (it was a long time ago!) For nine years I worked as Private Secretary at director level in a large multi-national company in Sheffield, England.

After obtaining teaching diplomas and the Certificate in Education, I was lucky enough to obtain a post as Training Consultant in Singapore where I taught many conscientious and ambitious students. This was the start of my love for all things Eastern. Ever since then I've been like the proverbial bad penny - I can't keep away!

I lived in the Middle East for a couple of years when I was Head of Secretarial Department at a college in Bahrain, Arabian Gulf. As well as the East, I've also been West, to Toronto, Canada, where I was PA to the President of an animation company.

Since 1991 I have been lucky enough to move into writing - something which came looking for me, not the other way around! Despite that, I am happy to say that I keep being asked to write more, so I must be doing something right - and I actually rather enjoy it!

For several years now, I have thoroughly enjoyed conducting seminars around Southeast Asia, so it seemed a natural progression to make Singapore my base - it feels like coming home!

With ST Training Solutions Pte Ltd, I am enjoying living in Singapore, visiting different countries and providing training workshops all over Asia. I am also very much enjoying making many more new friends.
