It's nearly July, the year is flying past.

This has got to be a quick post as we're just about to finish the preparations for our NLP practitioner course starting tomorrow at The Racquet Club in Liverpool. Have got a great bunch of people from a very diverse range of business backgrounds, I can tell it's going to be a great course. Sometimes you just get a feeling about a group, who, although they've not met each other yet, you just KNOW they'll get along. From the calls and emails I've had, I can tell there's going to be a lot of laughing going on - we find learning and laughter go very well together.

It's been a good week this week, a number of private clients, a couple of enquiries about courses as far ahead as October, and the opportunity for some consulting - more about that as it comes to fruition. Even our evenings have been booked up with telephone coaching, such is the current demand for our services. If you need us, we'll always squeeze you in.

And good old George Osborne, no increase in petrol duty, some good news regarding National Insurance and corporation tax for SME's and at least we have 6 months notice for the VAT increase to 20%. Was it a budget for growth? We''ll have to see, on balance, I think for us it was very favourable. And I didn't have to rush out for petrol.

Manuals are printed and bound, signing in sheets ready, all set I think........

How did it get to be June already?

Where did nearly half the year go? I must have lost at least a month somewhere. I've probably spent some of it staring into the back of my computer improving my frown lines and tearing my hair out.

Ssssshhhhh, all seems to be well at present on the hardware and software front, with a large mailing to go out tomorrow, I'm really hoping that will remain the case, otherwise tomorrow could be a VERY late night.

May has been a busy month for us, we've just finished another Master Practitioner course, it's such a pleasure to have students come back to build on their practitioner training, by now they are old friends, and we are able to build exactly the training they want as we know them so well. Whether they are therapists, business managers, solicitors or trainers themselves, we tailor the training so they are able to use the techniques where they need them.

We're now gearing up for the Summer Practitioner course at the end of June, with only a few places remaining and future funding options likely to be limited, (bye bye SkillWorks -we'll miss you!) we are urging people to study now, while the last scrapings of EU funding are available.

We've booked our next NLP taster for the evening of 9th September, and will take provisional bookings now, as they've proved very popular in the past.

We're very excited to read your stories for our June Newsletter competition, and looking forward to awarding the £100 prize before we publish it to our website. If you'd like a chance to win, just go to the website www.nlpliverpool.com and sign up for the newsletter by the end of June, which has all the details, send us your tale of woe, and keep your fingers crossed.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Julie Cunningham
