'Thank you for a really fantastic week; I can't remember when I have got so much out of a course.'

Julia, North Wessex Training

'I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the practitioner course. You are a very inspirational person and I enjoyed your teaching style and delivery enormously. The topic content kept me engaged and the timings were spot on.'

Julie, Bristol City Council

'I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the NLP Practitioners course last week. The week was packed with fascinating inspiring material, professionally and creatively presented.  Particularly evident was your comprehensive grasp of the techniques which, as the week wore on I began to appreciate more fully. The practical application of each task made the theory more memorable. Two things which struck me were firstly, the simplicity of some of the tools, such that I felt able to utilise the learning straight away in my normal life.  Secondly It was quite a revelation to me how little the ‘practitioner' needs to say in order to elicit extraordinary results in the ‘client'.  The key, it would seem, being the exact use of language and an appreciation of what not to say as much as what to say.'

Jane, Acupuncturist 

"Clare provides a stimulating and thought inspiring coaching session. They are challenging sessions that result in detailed discussion and realistic target setting. Clare has a positive and relaxed manner that inspires confidence and encourages you to think outside the box. Her knowledge and experience of leadership is shared and used to good effect. I always feel I have achieved a great deal and planned to achieve a great deal more, during our meetings and coaching sessions."

Tiffany, Bradley Stoke Community School

"Over the past year I have received coaching sessions from Clare Smale as part of my role as Fast Track teacher. I found the sessions immensely useful, both on a personal and professional level, and I gained a huge insight into how to tackle new responsibilities and whole school management issues. Clare is a dedicated professional who provided me with a level of support that went beyond the call of duty. Her coaching techniques were inspiring and have led me to explore coaching in more depth so that I can aim to offer such support to new colleagues. I would not hesitate to recommend Clare to others looking for coaching and support as I feel her ability to develop others is second to none. "

Stephanie, Bradley Stoke Community School

"I appreciate your warmth, welcome and generosity. I shall look forward to the next Practice Group meeting. This certainly exceeded my expectations."

Judith, Hypnotherapist.

"6 months ago I went through a serious crisis of confidence at work and wasn't sure if I was going to recover. However, through the expert coaching of Clare I have not only re-aligned my professional ambitions but have just been appointed as a senior manager! Clare's intuitive nature and down-to-earth attitude has helped me tremendously and I would unreservedly recommend her to anyone in need of learning more about the world of coaching."
