Just to let you know that the group name has changed from 'NW Business NLP and EI Group' to 'Manchester Business NLP and EI Group'.

Why the change? Well originally the plan was to extend the group to other cities in the North West, particularly Liverpool. Since Sarah Smith started up the Liverpool Business NLP Group (partly, I believe, inspired by our group) it seems a lot easier to let someone else start their own groups in other cities! If you are interested in starting a local NLP or EI group I am always happy to offer the benefit of my 11 years experience in running NLP groups, or to come and speak at it as long as it's not ridiculously far for me to travel. So get forming!
