' Dear Curly
I cannot describe in words what you have done for me, but hear goes. I am so pleased that I chose to go on the ‘Platinum Course’ and with the tools that you gave me empowered me to achieve what I thought was impossible! Curly you showed me how to grow within myself and think out of the box, moving me forward and yet you did this at the right times, you knew when I was ready for the next level and not before – your mentoring was inspirational to me, your motivation and ahh that kick I needed to get my mind into shape was excellent – how I still remember it every time my mind wanders! I read your book all the time and each time I learn something new – amazing! You helped me overturn a lot of my self beliefs that were deeply embedded in my mind – thank you. I recommend the ‘Platinum Course’ to everyone to have one of the finest leading coaches mentoring you is breathtaking not to say so insightful and enlightening, I have now a successful practice which without your knowledge and mentoring I would never even embarked.
Warm wishes and may you always be successful

Your practical activities and exercises are held in mentor hosted conference rooms (separate to the main training room) to avoid noise pollution (distraction) which occurs when too many delegates work in one area.

'Since
29th of June until tonight (31 July) I have doubled the profit I wanted
to achieve. My first goal was for 3 months and my 2nd for 6. I have
achieved my 6 month goal Curly! Unbelievable! It has only been 1
month!'

‘Dear Curly,
I
have received my Diploma in Life Coaching, a year after I decided to
take a course at Achievement Specialists with you as my mentor. The
results I have achieved in that period are in accordance with my goals,
many of my closest friends thought were sky high: I have started my
practice successfully, become a columnist in a leading business
magazine in my country, got my first book published and positioned
myself as a leading coach in Croatia. Although I live in Croatia and
received a diploma from the course in England, when I say that I have
done my studies through distant learning, everyone is surprised: they
simply presume I must have spend a year in England and are trying to
figure out what did it cost me to get the diploma. It takes simple but
powerful ingredients: self-discipline, motivation and a mentor who
knows how to help you polish your potential. In my experience distant
learning is a powerful tool: it takes only one visit so we could
establish the personal contact, everything else is workable over
Internet, Skype and e-mail. I know you are proud of my achievements and
I am too.’

'I
chose to train as a professional Coach with Curly last year; I was
impressed with her book, approach to clients and training packages
available. I chose the Platinum option believing that it would fast
track me into a new career - the extra support from this package was
invaluable. Curly is committed to helping her clients be the best they
can be. I found Curly's resourcefulness enormously helpful, ensuring I
remained motivated through a period of huge change. When I look back
over the last year and what I've achieved, I can see that it could have
easily gone very wrong but thanks to Curly's support and dedication to
helping me achieve results, I've come through it successfully. I have
now completely changed my life for the better and am happier than I
have been before.' - Angela Mains LCH
