What do previous clients have to say?
“Superb course”
I had the pleasure to attend the licence practitioners’ course with Steve over the course of 2 days. What a superb course and delivered with such professionalism and integrity. It was a real pleasure to work with Steve and I wouldn’t hesitate to enroll on another of his courses.
“Engaging and challenging”
Steve led myself and team members through becoming Licenced Practitioners in Motivational Mapping. His deep subject matter understanding and teaching style made the experience not only technically excellent, but also engaging and challenging.
“Thoroughly recommend”
I spent yesterday morning in one of Steve’s motivational map short workshops and can thoroughly recommend it for your self and your colleagues/employees. Steve clearly has a sound knowledge of his subject and he has a great way of getting people to open up and demonstrates a superb understanding of what makes us tick.
Thank you Steve!
“Informative and thorough”
It was informative and thorough allowing as much interaction as possible from the group. Steve is a great facilitator, as on some days of the course I hardly noticed his input in the sense that we were able to simply find our own solutions and express ourselves thoroughly in the comfort of a safe haven with his gentle guidance and thought provoking direction. I would certainly recommend Steve’s work for these reasons
