“I was attracted by the possibility of examining and learning about behaviours, with a view to building on existing work relationships to increase effectiveness and ability.
I would rate the programme highly; it's an intense course on an intense subject but conducted in a relaxed environment so you are encouraged to get the most possible out of it. The subject is incredibly interesting and it is immediately visible how you can use the tools / techniques / observations in both your work and personal life to drive massive benefits. ”

“I really enjoyed the course and feel that i got alot out of it and have already had opportunities to share some of the techniques with colleagues and utilised them with my coachees.
The location and food were both fantastic.
I enjoyed the practical aspects of the course and the discussions. For me personally i went back to the hotel in the evening and spent some time writing some notes to come back to. I'd have liked a little time during the day for some personal reflection and to make a few notes, i was too exhausted by the time i got home.
I would recommend that other colleagues attend, as i think that the skills and developments of NLP are crucial to being able to improve the quality of my interactions with others.”

“I started to think about interaction and communication diferently. The thinking has continued since leaving the course, and I started to notice things I would have otherwise missed. A small example of this is that I recognised that my elderly Dad's behaviour was affected by the different way his brain works now that he has Parkinson's disease. To cut a long story short it helped me to identify better ways to communicate with him, and in turn to help my Mum, who is regularly upset and frustrated by his behaviour, to try some different ways of interacting with him. And they worked! This is partly because he lives only in the present, as if the recent past or near future don't exist. On the other hand the outbreak of WWII he can remember as clearly as anything!
I would rate it highly, although I must admit I didn't really know what to expect initially. I feel I am still learning stuff and benefiting from the experience
I liked the informal approach and practical element of role play and one to one exercises. I appreciated the anecdotal and conversational style. The discussion and exercises seemed to grow organically from Sue's approach. Her experience is very evident. ”

“I was interested to find out more about NLP and what it entailed as well as how to train in NLP. I was conscious that there are a number of NLP trainers and different ways of learning but I was recommended to Sue Knight by Sue Duncan from Penna Consulting.
I really enjoyed the programme and thought it was very thought provoking. It covered all the areas that I was interested in finding out more about and I have therefore booked onto the next course. I liked the fact that the group was also not too big and was therefore more personable. I really liked the venue and thought that this fitted in well with the whole course approach. Quality, calmness, helpful.”

— Claire Fearon
“Excellent and highly motivational – I came away from the programme on a real high, feeling that I had been equipped with some invaluable tools and techniques, which I could apply immediately. Sue is an inspirational trainer and coach (one of, if not the best I have seen), and immediately built a very strong sense of trust and confidence amongst the group.”

“Great! In what way…? Well, the relaxed fun atmosphere made it possible to learn. Drawing the examples (both large and small) out of the people attending the course made it seem real. NLP content and the application of this content also seemed real: I feel I can make use it. Finally, it has left me inspired to pursue the journey further. ”

“This was an excellent programme which provided me with so much food for thought. I particularly enjoyed the many different techniques used to allow me to work things out for myself. I had not realised just how much difference being helped to work it out for myself could make. Since returning to work on Monday, many people have commented that they have seen something different in me – that I am much more open to hearing what others have to say and that I appear to be much more enthusiastic than of recent times. ”
— Jackie Leary, Associate Director QA
“A very thought provoking couple of days. The pace was spot on. ”
— Sharon Burgess, Business Transformation Executive, Computacenter
“It was a real eye opener. It was played out in real time, and has provoked me to be far more aware of myself, as well as my environment. I actually went beyond achieving [my objectives]. I thought that NLP would give me a solution, but it actually started me on a journey of opportunity.”
— Mark Thomson, Consumer Insight Director, TNS Worldpanel
“The short course exceeded my expectations by including a more active student centred approach. The teaching style and organisation although seemingly casual and comfortable was an indication of a true master communicator. Well done to all the staff involved in the seamless presentation, demonstrations and student activities.”
— Robert Lamont, Hypnotherapist
“ Excellent. It was very stimulating and thought provoking and it was very liberating to ‘go with my subconscious’ and to pay attention with all my senses to what was going on, rather than to do what I normally do which is to take copious notes which I never refer to again! ”
— Caroline Talbott, Organisation Development Consultant, BT
“A highly professional programme that was well structured but flexible to meet the diverse needs of the group and the individuals”
— Keith Haynes, Deputy Head of Training / Learning Management Unit
“Extremely informative and an excellent experience.”
— Alison Lawson, Business Learning Consultant, Norwich Union
“Very professional and very enlightening.”
— Paul Hooper, UK Sales Manager, Anders Electronics
“I felt it was a good introduction to the subject and professionally run. Sue was all I had anticipated in terms of knowledge and expertise. I also appreciated the way she skilfully handled the material and the group.”
— Head of People Development, UK Government Department
“Very positive. Sue skilfully coached significant wins from the group in a collaborative style that was a million miles away from the “chalk and talk” style I’m used to in technical training.
During this journey, she walked alongside us, sharing her enthusiasm and learning experiences in a way that built mutual trust and confidence in the whole group.
No wonder the delegates were not in a hurry to break the spell and leave Bix Manor at the end of the course!”
