The DfES’s 2020 vision talks about ‘engaging pupils - and their parents’ and without doubt NLP can help to support the vision statement. NLP can support the 2020 vision statement and SEAL – Social & Emotional Aspects of Learning:
- Move a student who is struggling with confidence and low self-esteem from
a performance orientation to a learner orientation – releasing learning potential - Provide you with powerful language patterns to influence learners, their parents, colleagues, and others right across your life (TES articles in 4th and 11th January 2008 editions)

performance in potentially stressful situations - Provide techniques and strategies to help you manage your own state so that your teaching and well-being is enhanced in ways that suit you, your own style and your particular situation
- Help you identify a student’s preferred learning style and capitalise on this to achieve optimum results in progress

- An introduction to Timelines:
- How they give you insights into personality styles and cognitive preferences

- How to create compelling templates for change
- Timelines and choices

The NLP Master Series
Join us for our Master Class Series in NLP and further extend and enhance your confidence and skills levels!
Learn to really move minds, really change behaviours, really make significant changes for yourself and your students in the shortest time possible. Sometimes psychology gives you the 'what's wrong' understandings but not the skill-set and tools to be a real agent of change. We see pages of psychological and medical reports detailing people's problems, but not much on what to do about them. As psychologists we've worked across sectors in education, mental health, health, and business too and we want to give you the insights, secrets and leading edge ways of fully utilising your NLP skills and strategies.
Continue your journey and further build, extend and deepen your skills and pick up even more tools for the toolbox. These courses provide you with the entire tool-kit for NLP! Take a quantum leap forward!
Attending each of the Master Series courses will take you towards your full certification as a Licensed NLP Practitioner - great value! (*Full Certification is an extra £100)
Dr Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP will personally sign your license & certification as a fully licensed and certificated NLP Practitioner with The Society of NLP. Be a true agent of change!

Our Clients say such nice things ....
Thanks for
your great programme and encouragement.
MICK MEADOWS,
Head of Workforce Development & Planning
Kathryn, you made us feel ‘skilled’ again! I
learned so much; and had been feeling drained. This course was so
exciting - you didn’t know what was coming! Loved your ‘treasure
chests.
GAY WHENT, Primary General Advisor
A role model
for enthusiasm and humour I will carry with me always!
JANET CATTINI, Staff Development Officer,
London Southbank University
Thanks for the most inspirational course of my
life…so far! You’re a star! I have started
relaxation/visualization with the children – I gave them cushions
and told them to get comfy before starting 7/11 – and it worked,
even a child who is really anxious joined in after observing for a
few minutes. Another success was my netball team – we were about to
play a team of whippersnappers who always beat us and everyone was
really negative – so I did the arm test (one of my friends said “I
want to try that to prove you wrong” needless to say she didn’t and
was like wow!) I 7/11’d them and we won by quite a lot – our first
match of the season – so 4x15minute quarters to a bunch of teenagers
who always out-run us. You’ll hear from the others about our trip to
the SEBDA conference – we wowed the lot of them about the
training we have received, told them all about how wonderful you
were, explained the NLP did the arm test and spread your contact
details – some definite interests there!!
LISA SQUIRREL, Teacher, First Base PRU
You are infectious in the best possible way! Love the
feelings I am taking away with me, the plans I have and how I will
put them into action! Learned that anything is possible. Also
learned steps to getting whatever it is we want, and it is in our
control. Thank you so much for enabling me to change my life and introducing me to my life’s work!
SARAH RICHARD,Northumberland Education
One of the best training workshops I have ever
been on!
LINDA BULLIMORE, Norfolk Early Years
NLP Rules! Already used it loads! Loved the
experiential learning and Kath’s enthusiasm. Enjoyed the vast amount
of tools to use. So much insight, so many practical easy to use
tools for use both personally and professionally. Already I feel
like I’ve used NLP a zillion times since the course in all aspects
of my life. I will totally adapt my style and use it professionally
in all the work I undertake in schools. It’s also made me think more
globally. Fab course, thoroughly enjoyed it - have been totally
inspired and energized.
LINDA NICHOLS, Behavioural Consultant
Brilliant course. Thanks for all you have given
me. I’ve had a huge boost in self-confidence. Learned to look at training in a broader and deeper context and to look at
presentations as more than knowledge of content.
HELEN NOTT, General Advisor
There was such expansion of awareness - far beyond
my/our expectations. The power of the group was expertly and lightly
harnessed to take all of us further. The whole experience constantly
modelled for us. Wonderful Kath - Thanks a million.
LAURIE ROUSHAM, Maths Consultant
Thanks very, very much for the wonderful course. You made me feel so
positive and optimistic about so many things.
LINDA NUNN, Secondary SCITT Leader

practical/spiritual/emotional backed up by research findings. Great
fun!
CHRISTOPHER BUDD, Maths Consultant
Learned about timelines, focus and to leave
negative
feelings behind and go forward in a positive way.
PIRJO MUDD, Cambridge Early Years
So good to be on a course that was such fun! A
jolly, human, and extremely knowledgeable and widely read trainer
who gets a lot from life and is willing to share.
JACQUI CAWKWELL-EAST,
Advisory Teacher, Suffolk
I loved this course! You’ve restored my faith!
Learned SO MUCH!
PAM ARROWSMITH, Norfolk
Cool tools! Truly inspirational training delivered
by an amazing professional. Gained confidence and made a difference
to others. Learned to understand people better and how to make a
difference to them. Originally it was going to be just for work, but
now I think - or even know - that I would like to do some 1-1 to
make a bigger difference to more people. This will last well
and grow in an organic dynamic way.
CELIA MOORE, Suffolk Advisory Service
I learned LOADS!! This was the most valuable course (and the most
entertaining)
I have been on in years!
LYNN PARK, Suffolk Education
Brilliant! I feel re-energized & revitalized! Used lots
already and it's only 1:30pm! Probably the best INSET I've had in
years. It has already impacted on my own sense of well being and
will certainly have a major impact on my work in the future - in
fact it already is, of course! I feel refreshed, invigorated and
have a new sense of purpose. It's certainly changed the way I'm
looking at things & also supporting others - positive, forward
looking.Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to the next
sessions. May all beings be happy!
LIZ GERRIE, Headteacher, Whitehouse Infants
Learned and practised strategies to develop an
optimum learning environment and to create and sense energy in
groups. Recognised that my own personal state can have a profound
effect on my trainees. Learned that techniques to establish and
maintain a positive personal state are also important to my
well-being. This training had an uplifting and positive effect on my
general well-being and I really did begin on the journey of
overcoming fear and self-doubt. I have become a more positive and
confident person as a result of this training course.
AMANDA SANDS, Advisory Teacher
Great, I loved it! Feel much more positive and my focus
has returned. Brilliant course.
I’ve remembered why I teach! Thank you!
DAWN RACKHAM, Pre-School Learning Alliance
Usable in my consultancy and across my own life -
it made me think and rethink!

Lots of new
ideas, lots of learning extended. Thanks for a wonderful course.
MERLE WATTS, Suffolk College
It's a wet Monday morning and I still feel as high
as a kite!!! I knew it was going to be good
but it was so much
better than I even thought it would be!! Learned to focus again.
I
feel like my best self again!
BRIGITTE HARKORT, MFL Teacher, Lincoln
The depth of information given, different approach
and different style to training.
Thoroughly professional course,
well thought out with a good training pack that will
act as an
excellent future reference file.
MARTIN WILTSHIRE, Lincolnshire Deaf Services
Loved the
openness, the knowledge you shared,
your style and attitude. Loved the thought-provoking comments and
questions. Inspirational!

The Special Educational
Needs Tribunal is an expert tribunal whose members come from many
different backgrounds: educational, medical, social services, legal,
etc. Kath takes an active part both in planning and in delivering our
training programme. It works and its success owes much to her
imagination, experience, expertise, enthusiasm, lively sense of humour
and understanding of human nature.
TREVOR ALDRIDGE, QC, President of SENDIST - SEN & Disability
Tribunal
One of the best things about
this course was the trainer herself who had lots of brilliant ideas. I
will be using them in my future courses. Loved the getting it right when
the going gets tough, the leadership skills and the dealing with
difficult group members. Very inspiring training to take away with me!
ANI KARIA, Community Education
The knowledge of the trainer, her enthusiasm, energy and humour,
her excellent presentation and honesty. I learned to bring my own
identity and energy and enthusiasm to a course, observe different
learning and personality types and meet their needs more. I learned to WIIFM!!!
I learned LOADS!! Thanks. This was the most valuable course (and the
most entertaining) I have been on in years!
LYNN PARK, Area Special Needs Local Group Co-ordinator
I learned so much and was thrilled to see and experience the added spiritual aspect. Many thanks. DAWN SEDGWICK, Teacher Mentor
Thank you for helping me to
get my oomph back.
SHARON RUDGE, Anglia Polytechnic University
Thank you for a brilliant
course and thank you for helping me to reclaim a lost part of me.
TERENIA MORRISON, Portage
Everything was terrific -
the fun whilst learning, the reality of language, the exercises, the
trainer and her wonderful sense of humour. Learned to be more confident
when it comes to difficult situations in groups. Learned better planning
and personal focusing strategies.
RAYCHEL MARCUS, Schools Sexual Health Advisor
Kathryn was very
entertaining and inspiring, honest and fun! She built on the needs of
our group very well, helping us to build trust in one another. I really
appreciated this in the first week of a new job. I enjoyed most the
sections on generating confidence in myself and the guidance and
reassurance about dealing with difficult group members and overcoming
problems.
JANE MORRIS, Teacher Mentor, Suffolk
The empathy that Kath shows
towards our pupils and their parents enables her to engage effectively
with one of the most difficult client groups in education. Her work adds
a most essential dimension to the school.
IAN JOHNSTON, Headteacher, Old Warren House, Pupil Referral Unit
More than a year since I
enjoyed your Training the Trainers training course and since then I have
used a heck of a lot of the stuff I learned on it. I have also retained
a good deal more from that course than from any others I have been to.
So just to say thank you. It’s still making a difference.
Gill Ramage, Suffolk County Council
'Thank you for the wonderful
session that you did for us on Friday. It was truly fantastic and
everything that I had wanted. Everyone is talking about how much they
enjoyed it and how wonderful you are! I just knew that you could shake
them up! It set the stage for the afternoon and I can truly say that I
have never delivered, organised or prepared a session that more than met
the aims and objectives in the ways this one did. God they were bopping.
Thanks a million '
JANET MORGAN, Quality Assurance Manager, Norfolk Education
Kath Temple carried out this
work with exemplary thoroughness, and designed an imaginative course
package which was successfully delivered. She carried out all tasks with
sensitivity, and flair and indeed 'went the extra mile' in terms of both
preparation and presentation.
ANGELA JONES, Area Community Education Officer
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.
'Helping the Bereaved Child' was made important, interesting and
available. It was received by staff in all schools as something which
they would not have wanted to miss. I enjoyed her pleasant manner
throughout.
BARBARA E BURKE, Headteacher, Alburgh with Denton VC First School
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
Really liked the mix of practical/spiritual/emotion'Really al
backed up by research findings. Learned how to change state and how this
affects outcomes. And we didn't kill your fish! Great fun!’
CHRISTOPHER BUDD, Maths Consultant
So good to be on a course
that was such fun! A jolly, human, and extremely knowledgeable and
widely read trainer who gets a lot from life and is willing to share.
Learned to believe in myself and to focus on strengths. Learned to be a
bit more analytical and consciously employ strategies when I’m not sure
of the way forward.
JACQUI CAWKWELL-EAST, Advisory Teacher
Brilliant course. Thanks for
all you have given me. I’ve had a huge boost in self-confidence. Learned
to look at training in a broader and deeper context and to look at
presentations as more than knowledge of content. I now have the ability
to change states.
HELEN NOTT, General Advisor
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
Really helpful training. Learned about different personality tyes
and how to deal with problem people. Enjoyed putting theory into
practice and learned how to plan, vary and customise my sessions and how
to have confidence and take some risks. Thank you.
JAN McDONALD, Personal & Social Development Advisor
One of the best training
workshops I have ever been on - thank you!

Also funny and really enjoyable. Know just how many different sorts of
people really gained from this course - I watched them change! It was
fantastic! It has helped me decide what my goals are and how to achieve

tools for change are within us - all of us. Thank you Kath you are a
very very special lady! I want to do the NLP course!!
