“I recently attended an NLP practitioner course which Jimmy and one his colleagues delivered. Having researched his background my expectations of the course were high. The course was well-structured, professionally run and content rich but the crowning glory of it all was the interpersonal skills and the knowledge that Jimmy has. He is gracious, determined, unjudgemental and extremely generous in sharing his experiences with the people he works with.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course, my expectations were exceeded and I feel as though I could contact him for help and advice whenever I need it. I recommend Jimmy wholeheartedly – and now I’m a qualified NLP Practitioner.” February 7, 2012
