She joins the how to: Academy in February to give a masterclass in Presence: the ability to shape the impression we give to others, and ensure that we feel strongest in the moments that really matter. From job interviews to break-ups, arguments to business deals, we frequently find ourselves in situations that require us to articulate our genuine views and opinions with eloquence and strength.

Gill in conversation with John Mitchinson An unmissable evening with A.A.Gill in conversation with John Mitchinson on the occasion of his new book POUR ME, A Life, his dark yet laugh-out-loud memoir, which charts the soggy tangle of a shredded life; the year between the end of his marriage and the end of his drinking . "The one miserly charity of drink is that it strips away memory. You start by forgetting the last hour of Saturday night, a name, a conversation, how you lost your shoes, and then, as life begins to tumble like an up-ended skier, so the avalanche of forgetting comes and sweeps up the evidence, burying the remembrance in a soft white darkness, a roaring silence. After a time you've forgotten more than you can remember. For me. out of a decade I have perhaps two years, perhaps three, of remembrances ... There is a hope, if not a reliable fact, that this is the best I can muster, this is a retrospective truth gleaned from the shards and tesserae. An attempt to reimagine something lost, an emotional archaeology" A.A.
