In 2011, while speaking at a conference, I realised how many people struggle with the simple idea of saying, “I love myself.” This insight led me to create a powerful metaphor during a coaching session that transformed my client’s mindset instantly.

The success of this approach inspired me to test it further, one to one and in workshops, eventually leading to the publication of my book, Shoo the Destructive Demon Within.

In this session, I will share the proven techniques and safe exercises I’ve developed to unblock limiting beliefs, empower self-worth, and foster rapid transformation in both self-coaching and client work. You’ll learn how to dismantle the key belief that hinders success, alongside language strategies rooted in NLP that protect against manipulative behaviours and help build strong boundaries.
These tools have consistently produced outstanding results and are unique to my teachings.

Whether you’re helping someone overcome low self-worth or guiding them through challenging interactions, this workshop will provide you with a powerful toolkit to support lasting change.
NLP learning elements include:

• Metaphor
• Belief systems
• Reframing
• Chunking up and down
