Business Coaching Courses

Organisations with demotivated or stressed out employees cannot survive in the long term. More and more pressures are being put on management and staff to succeed. However, very often they are not given the skills to allow them to do so. It's been my experience that most people who become managers or supervisors never started out with that plan in mind. Most tend to fall into the role of managing other people rather than choosing it as a career option. Usually people started working with a company, sometimes as a temporary employee, and someone in management noticed how great that person was at what they did. The management reasoned that because the person was good at what they do, that would mean they would be good at managing others to do the same thing. The next thing the person knew is that they were promoted to manager, given a desk and expected to perform to a high standard!

Call me now to discuss a range of courses, half and one day events to give you and your people powerful skills:

Mesmerising Sales

Sales is all about communication, this programme uses cutting edge Persuasion Technologies taken from disciplines such as NLP and Conversational Hypnosis to supercharge your sales success in any situation. I teach powerful techniques to improve your communication with clients, colleagues and customers to give your organisation the edge over your competition.

Powerful Public Speaking

Surprisingly, the fear of Public Speaking is the most common fear in the Western world. I've worked with senior executives, some in charge of large organisations, who needed to address their workforce or conference delegates but found the whole experience terrifying. I've helped trade union representatives with a need to represent their members at hearings who previously felt intimidated and under immense pressure to perform well.

Public speaking can be fun and extremely satisfying. Once you’ve enjoyed a presentation, or even taken part in it, your self confidence will get a huge boost.

Corporate Stress Management

Do you feel that your sales team are not performing to their best? Are you a Sales Representative no longer achieving your targets or concerned about “burn out”?

I have a professional sales background of over 20 years, (outside of my personal marketing of goods and services) in both retail and business to business, dealing with major corporations and small businesses. I have also had experience of both cold calling, call centre and account management. I've been there at the front line - I know how it feels!

One very popular area with Sales Representatives is helping them overcome rejection, and build self-confidence. It is difficult to keep your confidence level high when most people are telling you, "no." Call me now to help get your sales soaring.

NLP Practitioners Programme

NLP is a powerful catalyst in any situation in which two or more people must communicate in order to produce results. Many organisations around the world use the technology of NLP to help them to achieve their corporate objectives from coaching individual executives for improved performance and communication to customer service initiatives involving every employee in the company. Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Barack Obama are trained in NLP. Heston Blumenthal 'is a devotee'. It is said that Robbie Williams use a very simple NLP technique before going stage. Other celebrities that have been known to use these skills to help them in their profession are Oprah Winfrey, Sophie Dahl, Lily Allen, Gerri Halliwell and Jimmy Carr.

This programme is suitable for anyone who needs to direct, influence and motivate others, or who needs to improve their own levels of motivation and performance. Also for those who wish to set up practice as an NLP Therapist or indeed teach others elements of NLP Techniques. This is not New Age pseudo- science, but cutting edge technology linked to practical management techniques. Presented in a five day programme delegates will be given interactive tuition in all aspects of NLP. There will be demonstrations, presentations, case studies, exercises and role plays to ensure that every delegate becomes proficient in the use of NLP and will be able to use it to positively improve states, motivation and direction of their clients, their peers and themselves.

Sports Club Success

Are you the manager or member of a sports club?

Is your team performing as well as it could?

World athletes have proven over and over again that their greatest success stories originated in mental training. Many people are accustomed to personal performance, but addressing "team" effort on a mental level is equally important.

Has your team ever had one of those days when they were competing and everything felt right and they performed way beyond yours and their expectations? It's likely that their negative and unhelpful self talk had stepped aside for a moment just long enough for their unconcious mind to reveal a hint of its potential. I can show your team fantastic techniques to help them develop the potential to repeat these peak performances more often and realistically raise your expectations.

Tiger Woods, was introduced to these techniques when he was 13 years old. He says that they are inherent in all that he does. The results are clear to see. Tennis star, Jimmy Connors apparently used these techniques to practice his winning strokes prior to the US Open Championship. Kevin McBride, the Irish heavyweight boxing champion works with his hypnotist to get into the perfect frame of mind before every fight. Even golfer Jack Niklaus lauded NLP techniques as the sole reason for his improved concentration, which has led him to numerous victories. Boxer Ken Norton used hypnosis prior to his penultimate fight with Muhammad Ali. Norton ended up breaking Ali's jaw. Cyclist Lance Armstrong is said to be a devotee.
