LEE JACKSON, Project Manager

Your style was very engaging and enthusiastic. Enjoyed the range of practical exercises, the blend of participants, the materials, the high energy. I learned that rapid change is possible and doesn’t need to meet the criteria of ‘no pain, no gain!’ I will use NLP for myself and am more confident taking on new and different challenges. I will use it to enthuse others and help them remove limiting beliefs, broaden their perceived choices and opportunities. You are a role model for enthusiasm and humour I will carry with me always!

She undertook a major review of training service provision to schools and her report was clear and thorough with a set of well thought out thorough recommendations. She has also done some work for me in facilitating work with the Regional Assembly. This included work with leading Members from the 54 local authorities and representatives from business, education and the voluntary sector. She approaches her work in a very positive and enthusiastic style and I was impressed with the thoroughness of her preparation. Her presenting style is warm and open and she brings a lively sense of humour to her work.'
TIM BYLES, Chief Executive of Norfolk County Council & Honorary Secretary of the East of England Regional Development Assembly

'Amazing week all round! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I loved the course and everything NLP has to offer - my life is richer and brighter ... What you do is amazing - I really admire you and the difference you make in so many people’s lives. Words can’t express what I got out of the course, all I want to say is thank you for everything! Really enjoyed the group and working and getting to know like-minded people. Loved your positivity, very upbeat, great humour, and bringing yourselves into the course with such passion . I found self-belief and realised my potential. Became more aware of myself and my actions .... the world is a brighter place! Lots of choices out there ... and why not!!?! I’m using the language patterns and skills and techniques with patients. Using anchors a lot for myself too. I’ve helped a few people close to me with the visualising and the use of anchors. The course has given me courage and made me aware of new possibilities. I have renewed belief in myself!
VICKI NEWPORT, Nurse Practitioner, London

I learned ways to change myself instead of getting burnt out waiting for others' behaviour to change.' DR S SRIDHARAN, Psychiatric Registrar, Warwickshire

An extremely positive experience which I will recommend to as many people as possible!! Thank you for helping me to get my oomph back! I enjoyed all of it and the interaction with like-minded people. Learning how to, very easily, change negative emotions in myself. Learned how important it is to use my mind in a positive way and how easily thought affects behaviour and state. I will use NLP in business and in my personal life to keep up my enthusiasm and boost my self-esteem.

What did I learn on the course? Too much to mention. I learnt to live whilst breathing and not to breathe but not live, I learnt the skills to keep on keeping on, I learnt to help others in a positive way. I got so much out of the course and all of it will remain with me for life - how good is that! Kath you are good for the soul you really are. I have already helped several people and I have several projects on the back burner. Life is great! And no I would not change a single thing on the course even the food as I was able to stick to a diet!!!!!!!!!!. Love ya!

JACQUI CAWKWELL-EAST, Advisory Teacher

Kath is a dynamic woman with lots of energy and a natural warmth that puts people at ease. She has a natural empathy and delivers her training in a way that is accessible, challenging, interesting and fun. Another strength is her ability to be flexible and adapt her material to meet the needs of the group she is working with. I have often felt that trainers can be very prescriptive in their approach and I feel this is one of Kath's particular strengths. She has often enabled us to take a fresh perspective on a difficult issue and enable us to find solutions within our team. I would recommend her Training & Consultancy to you. She is a valuable resource to the Eastern area and has a comprehensive range of training expertise to share with the public, voluntary and private sector.'
KAREN HARVEY, Project Manager, Great Yarmouth Young Women's Project

'‘I very much enjoyed the 1-1 courses and felt that you put things over very well. Learned to understand myself and realised that we are all equal and all have valuable inputs.

My time management has helped me better plan my working week and working day. I found the course to be very interactive with both the trainer and ourselves having a large amount of input. This kept our interest in the course high. I don’t think this course could be improved upon. This has probably been the most enjoyable and interesting course I have attended to date. ’
DEAN RISSMANN, Decorative Sleeves

Her methodology and skills as a trainer are second to none. She is highly regarded as a most excellent trainer and has the ability to interest and enthuse her audience. She has a wonderfully warm personality, she quickly puts people at ease, she encourages participation and enables people to value their own contribution, she is herself an excellent communicator. Her sessions are always well planned and thought out, handouts are informative and relevant. People leave her sessions having learned much about the subject-matter as well as something about themselves. I could not recommend anyone more highly to you, she is thorough, reliable and I have had much pleasure working alongside her.'

She shows excellent facilitation and group skills, grasping complex issues and quickly seeing to the heart of the matter. I would have no hesitation in recommending her for training and consultancy work.'

She also has a natural talent for dealing with children.'

Managing Director, Nightingale Centre for Independent Living

‘'The psychological insights, the interpersonal strategies, the work we did on group dynamics. I have the tools to train with confidence and to have belief in myself. Fascinating. It has helped me beyond the course in my professional life at work in better understanding and managing colleagues. I so much enjoyed the total experience of the training - Train the Trainer. The venue was excellent; the mixture of participants was supportive and pleasant; the training was challenging and entertaining. And you were a terrific tutor Kath! I have benefited so much from the course and have already applied it in my work. The training, which I am currently doing for NMHAP, is successful due to the knowledge I gained on the course. You gave me so many ideas to try and your support gave me confidence in my abilities. I feel privileged to have been a part of that group. My thanks again for such an interesting course and for being such a wonderful role model for training.’

DAWN RACKHAM, Norfolk Pre-School Learning Alliance

'This course was a ‘springboard’, so motivating and encouraging. So relevant and practical. Kath you acknowledged how we may be feeling right from the beginning and at intervals throughout the course therefore providing reassurance and a trust and security with both yourself and the group. I missed the middle day due to prior commitments and was so disappointed. However you took the trouble to give me the training pack in advance and to fill me in with vital aspects. I learned that I have resources within to do more than I originally thought. That I can be myself and develop my skills. Thank you!'
HAZEL MEADOWS, Suffolk Education

ANGELA JONES, Area Community Education Officer

'I am now aware that escaping the confines of conventional content driven training courses will enable me to present stimulating programmes that will encourage learners to use all of their senses and remember key points. I learned that its so good to concentrate on your strengths, how people process information in different ways. Thoroughly enjoyed myself as well!
DELORIS CLARKE, Genevac

Did I enjoy the course? Yes! A definite top score. One of the great things was the complete lack of cynicism in the group. The aims and objectives of the Training the Trainer were exceeded by a long way. That also goes for the personal goals I brought with me - and kept under wraps - like finding a reason for not abandoning all hope and getting a job filling shelves at Tesco instead. I’ve now had a whole week back at work and still find ideas you planted coming to the surface. Your approach held us all rapt for the full four days. It reminded me a lot of how Clive James defines vivid language - as setting up a tension between the expected and unexpected. Have I gained from the course? I’m certain I have. There is a definite ‘differentness’ about how I see things. The best bits (in no particular order) - the sense that anything’s possible, that collecting together and sharing dreams and thoughts, stories and verse really does have an impact, the lack of cynicism - again, getting a feel for just how inclusive training can be, the amazing idea - that hit me like a wet kipper - that reality is actually all in the mind, seeing F come further into the group over the four days, the venue (very uplifting), the idea that being an introvert is actually about trying to cope with too much mental energy, your interesting taste in music, and much more. What specifically have I learned from the course? A great many ideas, thoughts and techniques to bring to training and groups. One thing in particular - I found the work we did on energy states really useful - sensing and altering them in groups and building up a stock of ways of altering my own. Thanks for everything.”
MICK SKIPWORTH, Development Manager, Social Services

'I have found her to be extremely professional in her work which has been of an exceptionally high standard. Her knowledge and understanding of the voluntary sector has made her an ideal training provider as she has been able to target the training to meet our specific needs.

MARY MOORE, Assistant Director, Norwich & Norfolk Voluntary Services

'Kath was involved in a presentation to all the staff in the partnership schools, cross phase, from nursery to sixteen plus. From the very beginning of our contact with each other, I found Kath to be disciplined in her attitude, business like in her approach and extremely efficient in her delivery.

I enjoyed her pleasant manner throughout.'

I feel good in her company , she is a brilliant teacher yet I don't feel taught. Her course has been of great help to me in so many ways. It's opened my mind to many things - a new look at my life. I will think of her when my energy and inspiration is flagging'.
LOUISE ALDRIDGE, Parent, Southwold

'Kathryn's contribution to our Making A Difference day focused on encouraging self-managed learning. The content of her presentation was very relevant and wide-ranging covering all aspects of the topic. It was meticulously prepared and delivered in a lively and accessible manner. She also produced a very professional and comprehensive pack of handouts to accompany the workshop. Evaluations record that the workshop was very well received by the participants who found it stimulating and enjoyable.'
AMICIE THOMPSON, Suffolk Basic Skills Staff Development Co-ordinator

'Kathryn shared her ideas, motivating and generating enthusiasm for the East Coast Conference to other committee members. She took responsibility for finding and negotiating for a National Key Note Speaker and also ran a workshop which she both devised and delivered twice.

During her year on the Committee she was a highly respected member and contributed greatly to the overall success of our conference.'
MARK BEMMENT, NSPCC, Chair East Coast Conference

She always conducts herself in a fair and non-judgemental manner and relates well to all clientele. The quality of her course material and standard of training are excellent.'

MARGARET DUNCAN, National Eating Disorders Association

Has anyone notice how strange things are, i feel like a new person almost, well maybe more of the case I’ve found myself. My eyes feel open and wide, and the world has begun an exciting place to live. I can't wait to find some people to practice on, most of my friends wont look at my in case I put them in a trance or something like that. But I’ve told them I won’t do, not unless they ask nicely! It was a great experience for me, and it was a pleasure working with you. For the women the CD of my voice reading the Yellow Pages will be out next week! Learned more about myself, it helped me gain skills, knowledge, techniques. It helped me make choices about my future. I do feel I have changed as a person and yet feel more myself. I want to use NLP to help people.

JANE HEARLE, Boston Credit Union

"Firstly, I thought that the way in which the course was delivered was fantastic! You seemed to get the message across with lots of vigour which I found quite refreshing! I thought the idea of music at the beginning of a training course was great! I feel that I've learned a great deal. For example, I feel that there are some occasions where I do not trust my instincts, I shall remember that if I get that sinking feeling, then I know that "no" is the correct response! The course will certainly be something that I’ll remember and can use within my training and throughout my daily life. Many thanks!”

The day has boosted my confidence and confirmed that we are managing change well and you have given us ideas to improve too!'
MARY MOORE, Assistant Director, NNVS

The venue was excellent; the mixture of participants was supportive and pleasant; the training was challenging and entertaining. And you were a terrific tutor Kath! I have benefited so much from the course and have already applied it in my work. The training, which I am currently doing for NMHAP, is successful due to the knowledge I gained on the course. You gave me so many ideas to try and your support gave me confidence in my abilities. I feel privileged to have been a part of that group. My thanks again for such an interesting course and for being such a wonderful role model for training.'

JILL STRACEY, Specialist Services Manager

Kathryn proved herself to be an excellent teacher in all respects. Her planning was very thorough and she showed a perceptive understanding of the theoretical knowledge required. Her ability to prepare and use learning resources was outstanding and she prepared wonderful handouts and stimulating diagrams on flipcharts and other media. She is very versatile in that she taught a number of very different types of groups very effectively on the occasions that I saw her. She is equally adept at managing the learning of fellow professionals and also of learners with special educational needs. She is supportive and encouraging of learners and always gets the best from them. She has an attractive outgoing personality and proved most reliable in everything that she did. She was higly popular and well respected by the staff. I would be pleased to have her as a member of our teaching team, I recommend her highly!

'I would have no hesitation in recommending Kath's skills to others. I would particularly wish to comment upon her ability to adhere to the brief provided, yet use a range of original and creative ideas to engage the interest and encourage the participation of a range of staff from both professional and non-professional backgrounds. Her approach is extremely professional and her interpersonal skills are such that participants are quickly put at their ease. She is able to use groupwork skills to great advantage and can be both supportive and also challenging. She has skills both in active and reflective listening as well as excellent questioning skills. She is also able to use a more formal range of presentation skills with larger groups to great effect. Kath takes great care with preparation and produces overheads, handouts and other support materials of excellent quality. Thought is given to structure and planning is detailed, yet she can demonstrate flexibility and adaptability depending upon the needs of the audience. I have always found her to be extremely reliable, professional and entirely trustworthy with any confidential material.'
EITHNE LEMING, Headteacher, First Base PRU

Kath's knowledge, experience and expertise enables her to contribute significantly to the adjudication of appeals to the SEN Tribunal. She has extremely competent and subtle skills in manner, sensitivity, body language and questioning style helping her to establish empathy with the parties to an appeal, which is valuable in enabling them to be put at ease quickly, in what can often be difficult and emotional circumstances for the parties, particularly parents. Kathryn is an active and enthusiastic member of the Tribunal's Training Consultative Committee. This has involved identifying and assessing training needs, planning and organising provision and delivering sessions. She is able to bring a strategic perspective to this work as well as a practical and down to earth approach. She is an effective facilitator who is able to ensure that her sessions are participatory and her groups cohesive. She is unfailingly cheerful and has an infectious enthusiasm for the work of the Tribunal, making sessions more memorable and enjoyable by injecting humour. Kathryn's contribution to developing the ethos of the Tribunal in the context of training it's members has been much valued.'
PETER CRAGGS, Secretary of the Special Educational Needs Tribunal

Kath was our liaison officer between business and education and she extended an energy and vivaciousness which enabled her to generate considerable enthusiasm for her area of work. She has a dynamic and highly engaging personality and is able to organise and prioritise very competently. Her work was at a significantly high level and she was an exceptionally able member of my team. She generates a commitment and sense of fun which would be an asset to an organisation. She is a person of great ability and flair.
DALE WRIGHT, Northern Area Education Manager, Suffolk Education

As expected, everyone was enthused, motivated and challenged by your workshop. It set a precedent for team-working on our playscheme. It made the staff feel valued and we thank you sincerely.
LAURA HAMILTON, Co-ordinator, SNAP

'I just wanted to say a big thank you for the help and guidance you gave me. I remembered how you showed me a way to forgive my father for everything that happened in the past and to let go, and to be able to remember him with love. This was a really big help and comfort to me. Thank you! Thanks also for the inspirational messages you sent me. I look at them frequently. You're a star!

'You are truly inspirational. A bloody great big learning lighthouse on planet earth!

'I want you to know how much it meant to me. I was on the verge of seeing my doctor for clinical depression. Somehow it all came together at the right time for me to take notice and let it change my attitude and my life for the better ... I woke up the next morning a new person. I have been a ball of bubbling joy ever since. I learned that every moment that passes is gone forever and I will never get the chance to re-live it a better way. To make my life meaningful, I have to be happy with me as I am and accept that I have a right to be the way I am. I shouldn't be so afraid of saying the wrong things that I say nothing at all. I shouldn't be so afraid of consequences that I do nothing at all. If I take a risk, then maybe my life will get even better. I have learned that I possess everything I need to be happy now - I don't need to wait until other people treat me better or until circumstances dictate. My happiness is a state of mind; happiness is an attitude, an outlook and no-one can make me truly happy except me. I have learned that if I am happy, then I am better placed to make the people I love happy. I have learned that people may say hurtful things, but that doesn't mean it's the truth - their words can only hurt me if I believe it's the truth and fail to realise that sometimes people try to feed their ego by stealing a bit of my precious spirit. I have learned that I am loved and not just accepted because I co-exist with others. I am valued for who I am, what I am, the way I am. I should not be afraid of doing my best and letting people know what I do well....Most importantly, I have learned to be unafraid of the future. I am not a victim. Any pain I may have suffered has made me strong, enriched my personality, and made me more understanding, wise. It has taught me to appreciate the good things in my life and to make the present a really good place to be. I know I've only just started this journey. I have more to learn, more to do. But for now, I feel unshackled, liberated. I feel as if a ball of joy lives in the centre of my chest. I can feel it bubbling, flowing. It's in my throat and in my mouth. I feel like laughing! It lights up my entire being and makes me feel like dancing. The one word I keep using is 'irrepressible'. 'Irrepressible' is my theme song! I feel physically different. I even noticed that I walk differently. Believe it or not, I think I strut (in a totally non-arrogant, non-pompous way of course!) - hips forward and striding. My shoulders are straighter. My back is upright. My head is higher. Kath I love you for the way you are and for helping me to discover me. Over the last 18 months I had been slowly finding myself. But you set ablaze a torch I had only begun to spark. I wanted you to know that you triggered something wonderful in my. You touched my life in a deeply significant way, and if only for that, you will hold a special place in my heart.'
