An Evening with Michael Neill

I’ve just returned back from an evening in London with Michael Neill and as always it was an excellent night.

Michael brings with him years of experience working with many people from many walks of life, but more than that, be brings a real sparkle and true passion to the work he does. What Michael does seems to really work and he’s a great demonstration of really putting into practice what you preach.

What Michael excels at on the stage is making coaching and NLP seem easy and doing it with a kind of kazazz that isn’t cheesy but captivates his audience. I s’pose his years of acting play a part in that but he always seems genuine and caring and when answering questions from the audience, sometimes on a sensitive subject for the person asking, his love and caring really shines.

If you haven’t yet seen Michael do his thing I highly recommend his work and he’ll be back here again on the 9th May for a day of Effortless Success.

One of my favourite quotes from Michael is the metaphor of pooh sticks:

“You throw the sticks in the water and they float down, and sometimes a stick gets stuck. The stick doesn’t need therapy, it just needs a nudge”.

To me, this is a great analogy for the work we do because it’s all too easy for people to think that being stuck means they need therapy and they need this and need that.

Sometimes all people need is a nudge here and there to get them un-stuck and floating back down the river of life. That’s the work I do and that’s the work I love.
