About Ian
Ian Paul Sharp
I enable you to live with purpose, positivity and passion. Look forward now to all the beneficial changes that will flow from that …
When I needed my own deep changes a few years ago I began to read all the self-help books I could find. It soon became clear there were many different ideas about lasting change. Many I rejected. And then came neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), hypnosis and life coaching. And when I decided to work with people on a full-time basis to enable them to get the changes they want and need I knew that I would need to master the techniques as well as create my own. So I went to the source and trained with Paul McKenna PhD, Dr. Richard Bandler (the c-creator of NLP), John La Valle, leading Success Coach Michael Neill and other leading creative geniuses in the field of personal development.
One of my beliefs is that continuous personal development is as vital to our journey through life as nourishing food and cool water. I’m continually reading, practising, thinking, creating, and seeking out new ways to enable change in myself and those of my clients who need to find their purpose and live with passion and positivity.
In 2007 I became an Advanced NLP Therapeutic Specialist (one of only around 50 people to be so recognised by the Society of NLP). Titles are much less important than my ability to induce the results which you are trusting me to bring to your life. If qualifications are important to you, though, you might like to note that as well as being a Therapeutic Specialist, I’m also a NLP Master Practitioner, Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterner, Hypnotic Practitioner, and a Training Specialist, also all via the Society of NLP. I’m also a professional Life Coach: my training and qualification was through Achievement Specialists.
Personal Development for Business
I’m often asked if any of my approaches are suitable for business. The answer is very simple – yes. You see, when you are actively engaged in your own personal development you can apply certain changes to your attitude to business as you take the actions necessary to grow your income and profits.
You’ll find my coaching style varies from the textbook approach. While it’s true you are ultimately responsible for the actions you take, my role is active. Yes, I’ll ask you questions to clarify your desired outcomes and, yes, I’ll hold you accountable for what you do.
After all, what you’re after is RESULTS isn’t it?
And then my advanced NLP training kicks in. Sometimes it’s not enough to know the actions you want and need to take. Sometimes you are blocked in taking those actions. You’re fearful. You lack motivation. You feel anxious. You’ve developed bad working habits over the years that need to change to stop you self-sabotaging.
The only block to you having the life and the business you want is YOU. Stand aside, because it’s time to get out of your own way.
Yes, I’m ready, where and when can you see me?
I see private clients in Aberystwyth, mid-Wales; or from anywhere in the UK via telephone or Skype, and I also design workshops which run across the UK.
Who do I work with?
People who are fed up with accepting their limitations – whether caused by a fear or phobia, or when the source is a deep-seated dissatisfaction with life as a whole – and are prepared to learn and apply some simple and sustainable techniques which bring about lasting change.
I work with people who are ready to live their life on purpose. You will be prepared to set your outcomes and goals and take action every day to move towards the life you want. The greatest coach, the finest NLP Practitioner, the best hypnotist – none will get results until their client is willing to do whatever it takes to change. When that’s you I’m ready to match your commitment.
When that’s you, keep reading.
The benefits of your new thinking begin immediately. Our conversations will be hypnotic and relaxing – yet also challenging at times, and certainly fun. Although I work ‘content free’ (I don’t need details of your past, just the strategies you are using now to make yourself feel the way you don’t want to feel), you will need to be prepared to think about the issues you want to leave in your past.
Each conversation is designed to get the changes you require and deeply install them. The direction of the conversation will change, moment by moment, in line with your responses. And as your coach I will hold you accountable for taking the actions that you agree.
This investment in transforming your life could be the most important investment you will ever make.
Personal Change MAGIC? You may be asking now: “What is magic?”
Magic is the art of transformation and change.
“And what is the role of a magician?”
To assist people to make useful and beneficial changes in their lives.
“And how can this be achieved?”
By developing greater awareness that all things have a structure, that change is always possible, that there is always more than one perspective, and that the essence of useful change lies in having both creativity and access to a greater number of choices.
“And what is the responsibility of the enlightened magician?”
To use his power wisely, ethically, and with humility.
Please note I need to speak with you before accepting you as a client. If I believe you will be better advised to work with a different specialist I will happily refer you to one of my trusted colleagues.
