Having been self employed since the age of
nineteen Jacqui knows what it takes to go the
extra mile: self belief, originality, planning,
goal setting, stretching the boundaries and
plain old fashioned perseverance.
Her early background includes the
establishing of a very successful Art
school 'The Cotton Patch' which trained
both adults and children in a wide varity
of tools for communicating their skills
through art and crafts. Following it's success
Jacqui went on to develop an Early training school 'The Cotton Patch - Creative Learning' which taught many children over a ten year period through art, play, and positive feedback loops, and their parents through the fundamentals of NLP communication skills, focusing on how their belief structures influence their children's development.
Besides running successful holistic fairs all over Ireland, Jacqui has designed and presented workshops on self development, training, parenting, education, business and communication, and of course NLP practitioner and master practitioner certificate courses.
The focus of her work over the past 15 years has been two fold; with her private clients who want direct access to the skills that NLP has to offer and, secondly, with her seminars and workshops, which attract men and women who aspire to achive a deep understanding into how the mind works and how they can manage their minds more effectively for the success they aspire to.
Experiencing both great success and minor setbacks have taught Jacqui that sometimes success is not about how much money you make and/or how much power you can establish in any given enterprise; "It is more often than not about how you deal with what life presents to you in a manner that enriches both you and those around you"
Jacqui has an ease and grace about all her work that makes you feel like you are chatting with a friend, while at the same time learning some fantastic skills in a way that is easy to understand and fun to apply.
Her enthusiasm, energy and love of her work is remarkable.Teaching you the skills for a more fulfilling future is her joy, Enjoying the experience is yours!
