Inspirational NLP trainer and emotional intelligence specialist Andy Smith has been running the Create The Life You Want* workshop for the last 10 years, and working one-to-one with clients both privately and in a corporate setting since 1993.

Andy's new book, "Achieve Your Goals: Strategies To Transform Your Life", is published by Dorling Kindersley this summer.


"Andy is a wonderful resource - as a coach, he creates an idea-incubating atmosphere of creative curiosity, and one idea from our first session together earned me $500 in less than 24 hours!"
- Michael Neill, coach and Hollywood actor

As a trainer, Andy is noted for his compassion, humour, and jargon-free approach. Workshop participants often remark on the friendly, open and like-minded people his small-group courses seem to attract.

As a coach, he helps people to find resources within themselves to solve their problems and achieve their goals, and is an expert in rapid changework.

"My friends can't believe the the change and changes that keep occurring as I continue to set and achieve new goals constantly. I can't thank Andy enough for the help he's given me to change my life."
- Shelly Nixon

In the corporate sector he has provided executive coaching and training in emotional intelligence, stress management and communication skills to clients such as Sony, Mintel, GlaxoSmithKline, BP, the UKAEA, True North Design, the Cabinet Office, Lancashire County Council, and the NHS.

Andy's company, Coaching Leaders Ltd, also runs NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner training in Manchester. For details of NLP courses and corporate services, visit the Coaching Leaders web site.

"Andy helped me to improve aspects of my performance and 'work persona' in quite revolutionary ways! He possesses a powerful and creative set of skills that were employed with dexterity to produce real benefits for me and for our business."
- Martin Carr, director, True North
