MENTORING

CHERRY ON TOP!

KAREN MELONIE GOULD

As a Marketing student from the University of Chester I had the opportunity to work closely with Karen for four weeks on a work placement. Her diligence, support and experience have not only pushed me further as an academic, but more importantly have been inspirational and motivational forces that will resonate within me. What I have learned from her will contribute to a professional career for me in the future- no matter where I go. Peter Nathan

ANTHONY ROBBINS – UNLEASH THE POWER WITHIN

It’s about not waiting any longer. It’s about seizing the power that is already within you and challenging you to lead a life of your own design, rather than one that’s been scripted by your environment, society or anyone else.

I have just missed his Tour in London in May 2012 and will most certainly make the next one. Whenever, I go to Networking Meetings and meet people who have become successful and who are happy and who I like immediately and they have done it their way not scripted re Text books – they have rather been on one of Tony’s Seminars or certainly follow his Strategy.
