CLIENTS'
FEEDBACK
Over
the last eleven 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
