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.

PIRJO MUDD, Cambridge Early Years

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!

Usable in my consultancy and across my own life - it made me think and rethink!

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!

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.

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

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

Loved the insights. 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 them. Thanks for the tools you gave us and for helping us to realise the 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!!
