Based upon Jonathan book, Essential Scorpion Sting First Response, this 45 minute presentation that focuses upon the key points of effective scorpion sting first response. Suitable for all ages, this presentation is based upon the structure of the Essential Scorpion Sting First Response Book, and Scorpion Sting First Response Short Course.
This Essential Spider Bite First Response presentation provides a structured framework that will greatly reduce the risk of being bitten by a spider, and provide the best possible outcome, should a spider bite occur in both humans and pets. This framework of understanding can be applied anytime and anywhere, does not require any special equipment. Essential life skills for everyone who may encounter a spider at home, at work or in the environment.
Although scorpions are common in Southern Africa, the average person knows little about them except that they have venom. As author of Scorpions of Southern Africa, Jonathan will take the audience through the life of these misunderstood creatures, lifting the veil of venomosity and uncovering a world of of fascination, intrigue and wonder.
Spiders are everywhere, so common that there is an urban story that states we are never more than 2m away from the nearest spider! However, although spiders are familiar to us all, our perceptions of them are based in fear and dread. Behind out misperceptions of these animals is a world of fascination and wonderment. They produce silk, spin the most intricate webs, live fast and action packed lives and possess superpowers well beyond our own capabilities.
A highly interactive and entertaining story of our relationship with the environment that focuses upon the venomous creepy crawlies that can be found in our homes (spiders, scorpions, centipedes and snakes). Presented in a workshop style, there are no visuals which promote interaction, allowing the conversation to ebb and flow to where ever the audience wants to go, pulling it back to a conclusion.
For most people, venomous animals represent mythical creatures whose reputation is loosely sewn together with old wives tales, rumors, Internet hoaxes, hearsay and exaggerations. Behind their veil of venomosity, lies a hidden world that showcases Nature’s ingenuity and resourcefulness that promises to save humanity from itself.

On behalf of the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History (former Transvaal Museum), I would like to thank you again for such a wonderful evening lecture that you gave at the museum.
The public had been looking forward to this event and you surely didn’t disappoint. The presentation, coupled with your special brand of humour, made it an enjoyable evening for all who attended. The success of the talk was clearly highlighted by the large and diverse crowd that attended. It was actually the first time that we attracted even learners to an evening lecture.
We received a lot of commending letters from the public and they are already enquiring about the possibility of a future lecture on spiders.
Bite Me! leverages our perceptions of spiders and their bites to demonstrate how our values and beliefs can be detached from reality. It’s a powerful analogy that connects to the audience deep down inside. It’s unique, a little bit strange, funny, has some epic poignant moments that teach us an important lesson about our values and beliefs towards the world.
Deadly Innovation explores how innovation to solve the challenges of our time, will come from the most unlikely of sources. Why clutching on to outdated values and beliefs is holding us back, and how being open to solutions, is going to help us create the future that we so desperately desire,
The Creepy That Crawl focuses upon our relationship with those undesirable venomous animals that inhabit our garden and home. It offers a unique analogy of the 4 principles of One World Sustainability onto our perceptions of venomous animals.
I'm on a mission to reduce the burden of spider bites and scorpion stings across Southern Africa!
