One of my passions is helping people and businesses create and manage positive, measurable Behavioural Change along with lasting, better relationships and performance in both business and their lives so they become more successful, healthier and happier without all the pain and baggage from the past.

Moving on from the past whether in business or from our daily lives can be hard. So many times I’ve heard someone say “I’m stuck in this job, business, unhappy relationship and can’t seem to move on…it’s wrecking my life. What can I do?”

There’s no one answer fits everyone which is why I make sure I really listen to my clients and establish what they want and what they need.
Often those two things can be quite different! And sometimes they don’t realise it until we have a chat!

Example….. I was at a prestigious event for the top 300 Business Men in Mexico a while ago and a young man was telling me how unhappy he was with his personal relationship and his job. As I listened it was clear that the problems with both things were constantly on his mind and making him highly stressed and depressed.

He knew what he didn’t want and had no idea what he really wanted from either situation.

We sat down and scribbled through an exercise on the back of a menu card so he could describe what he wanted by focussing on the opposite of what he didn’t want. Soon he was chuckling and that was the turning point. I asked what one thing if he focussed on it would make the biggest difference to his life.

NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Training) work in every context of our lives.

In the last 30 years it has become the core of my work and of my life. I pioneered its use in helping people of all ages to change their lives for the better.

It works, if you choose to use it, ethically and easily in every area of your life. It works in relationships with yourself, with others, in business, at home, in the fields of sport, recreation and leisure. In other words it gives you choices you would never normally have had and skills with which to change your life for the better.

It began when I was introduced to NLP by Liz and Ian Newton and I was captivated by its accessibility to all ages. In fact Irene, my Mum, achieved her NLP Diploma at the age of 78, one of the more senior delegates on her course! I remember driving her to the first weekend when she decided halfway there she was too old and lacking in self confidence to join the group of ‘new people’ and wanted to go home instead. I refused to listen.

At lunchtime on the first day I returned with sandwiches for us. When I walked into the training room she was nowhere to be found. Liz laughed and said “Renie is down the local pub with the rest of her group, she’s having a great time and they’ve found she is a delightful, strong force to be reckoned with!” and how they applauded her when she walked up to receive her Certificate. Needless to say it now has pride of place in my Office.

Mum used her new skills with glee, especially when she was Skip for the local Indoor Bowls Club! It did her self-confidence the world of good and I have treasured memories of her on a weekend Pensioners holiday break when there was a band playing at the hotel and no one else was dancing. (She had always loved dancing with my Dad and in her youth was an acclaimed Charleston and Black Bottom Ballroom dancer.) Instead of sitting and complaining, she wandered off, found a broom and returned to the dance floor to dance alone with it, then she ditched the broom and persuaded a gentleman to dance with her, sent him off to get a new partner and in the end almost all the group were happily dancing.
