Mind skills for working well.

When we first met, I was impressed with Kay’s authenticity. She is a wonderful person and innovative. Highly recommended.

Kay did all the work behind me delivering a Voice Power for NLP Practitioners course in Northumberland UK. She did an amazing job! Her PR was second to none, she found a wonderful venue, filled the room with lovely people and made absolutely sure that I, as the trainer, and all the participants had the best experience of the whole thing. Kay is a fabulous person, creative, responsive and an excellent communicator. I can definitely recommend her to you

Kay was very clear in her resilience training, very knowledgeable, she does fun learning which was enjoyable.

Fun, engaging, informative, I especially liked finding out how our beliefs and behaviours can either prevent or achieve results, depending on both our internal and external dialogue.

I found it interesting how focusing on the negative is not a productive strategy, and how being flexible yet firm yields the best results.

I found it very motivating, it reminded me of the need to remain resilient. This is not only for my work life, but also for my personal life.

5-Step Resilience is the most interesting course I’ve been on (and I’ve been on a few!).

Motivational use of metaphors and real-life examples. Also, the practical exercises and use of visual aids (toys etc – they work for adults too!).

Different, interesting, exciting use of words, voice and setting goals. Very interesting topic and very excited to now use some of what I learnt.

I loved it and as usual, the trainer was very engaging.  I thought the session was perfectly pitched and well-timed at this stage in the course, when many of us are feeling stressed.  I thought that it provided some good strategies, which we can build on going forward into our social work careers.  Please keep this on the timetable for next year’s students. It also made me very interested in learning more about NLP going forward.  I think that it was very useful for our well- being in difficult situations, may be more useful at the start of second year placement.

I thought the session was well timed in terms of the fact that some of us feel that the course is quite intense at the moment with placements ending and dissertation etc and this workshop helped us to consider ways to reduce feelings of stress etc.

thought today’s session was very informative and it was very refreshing to learn a totally different approach from a non-social work perspective. Everyone in the class joined in on the discussion and seemed to really engage. It helped that Kay was fabulous and is clearly passionate about what she does!

From a personal aspect, NLP changed my dad’s life when he was at his lowest, so I was very eager to learn more about what picked him up. Kay shared that she too went into it for personal reasons and gained a career from it. I think the style and positivity of the approach are something which would really benefit the social work profession. I was very sad to hear that the sessions will not take place in the future and truly feel that future students are being deprived of a key aspect of their learning! Thank you for including the session as part of our learning.
