Exceed all your expectations   CLIENTS' FEEDBACK

Over the last thirteen years, many workshop participants have reported back on their experience of the workshop – and, most importantly, their “unbelievable” success afterwards.   Some were written recently, by people who had participated as long as ten years ago – some were written by those who could not contain their excitement over the immediate changes in their circumstances.

All agree that the benefits are immediate – and get even better as the months and years go by.   A sample of previous participants' feedback is set out below.

-

Extraordinary and insightful.  If you only ever attend one course in your life....XL Yourself is the one!  Willie's depth of knowledge and research is unrivalled.  He delivers his message in an entertaining yet precise fashion giving everyone who attends the tools to go out and finally live their life to the full.

Warren Fox, Managing Director, Marketing Impressions Ltd.

 

Simply put ...'I went; I listened; and I believe!'   Truthfully it was without doubt the best two days I have ever spent in a room; I suppose I am a pessimist by nature; however 'I now shave with my left hand, at least once a week!' and it definitely keeps me focused on what is important to me!' I truthfully have not looked back since that two day work shop and everyday, without thinking about it within the 24 hrs, I find myself reflecting on some part of what you said, which immediately gives me a reality check and  points me in the direction I need to go... even my little girl talks about 'the now' ! Again many thanks for unlocking a part of me that I never knew existed! ...Life is good!!!

John Clifton, General Manager, Burlington Hotel, Dublin

 

Living in the Here and Now and learning to Act instead of spending time thinking has been the most important learning I have had in my living and working life.  Willie Horton helped me to learn how to act and really live in the here and now and it has changed my life.                           

Donald Williamson, All Ireland Sales Director, C&C Group plc

 

XL Yourself skilfully combines Vision and Insight with common-sense. It addresses the most important question-- How to live life to the full--- it identifies the mental habits which hold us back and it provides practical exercises designed to open the mind to its full potential.

I strongly recommend this course to anyone. It will make a difference.

David Guest, Country Executive, ABN AMRO Ireland

 

Since the day I did Willie's course the simplicity of the philosophy behind living in the here and now cannot be ignored. The realisation that it is staring you in the face lifts a burden from your shoulders once you awaken to the reality. I would recommend the course to anyone who is trying to get to the future or is stuck in the past.

Caleb M. Kyle, Senior Property Fund Manager, Bank of Ireland

 

I found the session very interesting and stimulating. It really provides great insights into the process of achieving better focus, and reducing the impact of distractions. I certainly intend to follow up with Willie and am confident of achieving further progress.

Ronan J. Nolan, Partner, Deloitte

 

This is a very different course and without doubt it has the potential to change the way you approach life, in a very positive way. Its attraction is in its simplicity. Willie's style of delivery is excellent and participants very quickly become immersed in the sessions. I'd recommend this course to anyone, I found it fantastic.

John Crowe, Merrill Lynch, Global Private Clients

 

Thanks Willie. The feedback from the day was extremely positive - I was pleasantly surprised at everyone's openness and receptiveness to "going off the beaten track" as you say. It was as if we were opening up a part of ourselves we know is there but don't get a chance or dare to indulge.  So, whatever happens, I think the day will have been of value.  Thanks very much for your work with us.

John Gleeson, Managing Partner, Arthur O’Hagan Solicitors

 

If you want to maximise your potential and get in touch with the real you, go on – XL-Yourself!      

Michael McArdle, Marketing Director, C&C Group plc

 

Willie's workshop has enabled me to see all the possibilities that I have in life and to go after those possibilities knowing I will be successful without any doubt in my mind whatsoever. Once this realisation sinks in, everything becomes so easy and totally fulfilling. I couldn't recommend this course strongly enough...you just need an open mind and the world is truly your oyster.

Gabrielle Coultry, Management Consultant, UK

Since doing the XL-Yourself workshop I have described it to a number of friends and colleagues as being phenomenal!  My view is based on a number of factors including:

    Willie’s ability to pull together and make connections such a diverse range of disciplines

    The breadth of ground that Willie covered was challenging at times, but it was very definitely worth hanging in there for the insights that emerged.

    The utter simplicity of the distillation that Willie provided as to what I as an individual can do in my daily life to apply this learning. 

Reflecting on it now, this workshop has given me an effective means through which to combine having aspirations with really being in the present moment.  That seems like quite a simple statement, but I found the experience of getting to that realisation to be profound and I look forward to living the consequences!  Even as I write this note, I am re-reading my notes from the workshop and my enthusiasm is being cranked up another bit! 

Peter Mohan, Partner, Sheppard Moscow Ireland

 

I can't explain it but since I attended your workshop eighteen months ago, much has changed in my life for the better, both professionally and personally.  Thank you.

Joe Quinn, Group General Manager, Jurys Doyle Hotel Group

 

Over the past few years I have learned a lot about the working of the universe and how our minds are tuned into it however I had a lot of unanswered questions.  Having sat with you for the two days I marvelled at the simplicity of how you managed to answer so many of these questions without me even having to ask, it just unfolded.

Now that I am armed with you book and CD I find that, with practice, I am progressing more and more towards “living in the now”.  This has been somewhat of a challenge for me as my life has nearly always been about the destination rather than the journey. 

Having reached this stage by following your method I find I am much more relaxed, less busy rushing around and totally prepared to let my future unfold without worrying about what will happen. In fact the practice of living in the now has helped me to recognise the changes I needed to make and to some extent given me the courage to implement them.

I hope this summary is meaningful to you and others who may read it, in the same way your course was very meaningful to me.

For me your course was very helpful and moved me in a direction that I needed to move, however worrying was holding me back…but not any more.

It is my intention to continue along this path, one day at a time, and watch my goals unfold as a result.

Keep up the good work.   Thanks for everything.

Michael Herbert, Chief Executive, Windsor Motor Group

 

Through my engagement with Willie I have learned to look at life and its challenges from a much broader perspective. He has given me the insight and direction from which I can choose to change my life path as I see fit and commit to.   I believe the challenge is great and the rewards will be even greater for all those I love.

Billy Finn, Managing Director, Ark Life

 

There are few occasions in life that can be described as defining moments and I can say that Willie Horton's course comes into that category.  It was a break away from the business world to discover the inner you, the driving force and thereby enhancing every area of your life.          

Freddie Maguire, Managing Director, Massey Brothers  

Willie provides a hands-on and heart centred approach to connecting the inner and outer you - the drizzle in your head clears to enable you to be fully present.  Changing your world happens by giving full attention to the now and Willie's approach enables you to simplify complexity.                                                    

Ciaran McGettrick, Managing Director, Resolution Ireland

The course made me realise that the 'normal' approaches to business and life are not necessarily the right ones. Going back to your college frame of mind, not worrying when you can take action and not worrying when it's beyond your control frees you up to get on with work and life.

Lynne Malone, Brand Manager, Diageo

 

I am much more focused, I use my time much more effectively and negative thoughts or time-wasters are quickly kicked aside. The ‘now’ is everything and positive thoughts regarding future history(!) are helping me greatly.

Kevin McGowan, Kevin McGowan & Associates, Executive Recruitment

Having attended countless "Improve Yourself" courses over the years, and having seen no major changes in my life I had become very sceptical of such courses.  However, from the very beginning of the course with Willie Horton I suddenly began to realise and understand the issues and circumstances that had shaped my life from the very early stages.  This had a profound effect on me.  But the next major discovery of learning that I myself could change my thinking, and in fact my whole outlook on life, has effectively changed my life so much for the better.  Thank you Willie for helping me to see things so differently and realise that everything is achievable.

John McLoughlin, Director, AbbeyLeigh Properties Ltd

 

By helping me see that everything I needed for a successful life was already within me, Willie Horton gave me the power to make every trouble seem trivial, realise the waste of worry and live life where it was intended to be enjoyed - very much in the present - now."

Trevor Hunt, Brand Manager, Diageo  

 

I found Willie’s workshop and book to be really different to anything I had experienced previously. Willie’s style is easy going yet is thought provoking. If you are prepared to go with Willie on the journey that he brings you on you will be challenged in a positive manner in both your professional and personal life.

Terry Lennon, Managing Director, Advance Pitstop

 

I have benefited significantly both in personal and business terms.  You are aware of some of the significant personal goals I have achieved through the process and this is really only the beginning.  From a business point of view it has also been successful and I am very pleased with the results.

Rory O'Riordan, General Manager (Retired), Standard Life Ireland

I found the course the best I have attended.  The material and your presentation were excellent.  May I also say that I think you are as good a model of what can be gained from this knowledge as it is possible to be.          

John Wickham, International Management Consultant

Many thanks for allowing me the unique access to your resources, it was a very satisfying experience.  I believe that I will personally benefit from the technique and the quality of the personal insight.

Aidan J. O'Mara, Head of Human Resources, Grafton Group plc

 

The basic facts:  Your course helps me glimpse my elusive goals, shows me how to achieve focus and provides the "tools" necessary for this very precious and exciting journey.                

Brian R. Doyle, Managing Director, Kelly Hunter Ltd

 

Willie’s workshops are stimulating, challenging, unique and always interesting.  Stimulating because he presents a view on life and success that is totally different to what you may have heard before.  Challenging, because he puts it up to you to take control of your destiny. Unique, because you won’t hear this stuff in the vast majority of management programmes you go on, and interesting because Willie doesn’t just preach his philosophy on life he lives it!

Clodagh Hughes, Managing Director, Motive8 Communications
