Our Philosophy : Do You Know What It’s Like When You’re Telling Your Truth?
You know what it’s like when you are totally passionate about something, don’t you? Or maybe you can imagine what it would be like to discover something of real value and recognise that the value increases the more you’re sharing this thing?
Well that’s what it’s like for us and storytelling. We are passionate about storytelling, we are passionate about training, and we are passionate about your learning to do this because when you stop and think about it, you just never know how far a story can go… and do you know exactly just how far your own story can go…and how you could tell yourself into a different possibility? Now that would be telling, wouldn’t it?
So, our philosophy is all about passing everything on… so you can pass it on too. Because, after all, at one level or another, we are all part of the same story.
Trainers : Having A Great Pair Of These Will Improve Your Performance!
This programme offers two trainers “on stage” at all times. This allows for optimum trainer/delegate ratios (maximum participant numbers on this course : 20).
We could blow our own trumpets here…and that’s not our style! Instead, maybe you can take a moment to read what other people say about us and the storytelling training we offer :
“The course was above and beyond what I could have expected. As a result of this experience I feel more connected to myself and to my purpose. I feel calmer inside and a space has opened up. I feel that something significant has been reclaimed thanks to this fabulous programme.” Margot Clayton : NLP Master Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and writer, Scotland UK
“My objective was to be able to tell stories confidently in front of an audience – and this has been fully met! Furthermore, the organisation, material, training delivery and the spirit in which the course was taught was great. I now feel fully connected to my creativity.” Hana Al-Omair : PhD student, NLP Master Practitioner, NLP Coach, Hypnotherapist, Scotland UK
“This course is absolute magic. It has released a flow of creativity I never knew I had and turned it into a veritable torrent.” Alison Lawson: NLP Master Practitioner, Ericksonian Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master/Teacher, Perth, UK
“Jane skillfully weaves stories that captivate the conscious mind and connect deeply with the unconscious mind of the listener. Artful in her use of language, you can't help but be trance-ported inside each story while emerging later with increased confidence in your own creativity. Learning to do what she does is a wonderful exercise in trusting your unconscious mind, while helping others find their own Truth in stories.” John Overdurf, USA : co-developer of Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Psychology ™, Master Trainer of NLP, Trainer of Ericksonian Hypnosis. co-author of Training Trances, Dreaming Realities and co-presenter on numerous audio productions in the field of NLP, Hypnosis and Coaching. John is an internationally respected trainer, therapist and coach.
“Jane’s storytelling seminar is a truly wonderful journey into your own imagination. This talented and intriguing master of fables has an outstanding ability to captivate her audience with colourful metaphors and linguistic radiance. Jane’s broad knowledge added an exotic flavour to her splendid performance. Once my feet were firmly on the ground again at the end of Jane’s magnificent workshop, I felt absolutely excited and delighted to use the storytelling skills we had learnt in my trainings as well as coaching and therapy sessions with my own clients.” Jevon Dangeli , South Africa : internationally certified trainer of HNLP and Hypnotherapy, NLP Master Practitioner, Personal Success Coach and Reiki Master.
“Jane Talbot brings to life strategies and theories that have a real bottom-line impact on organisation, team and Individual performance.She brings with her a unique talent which is formidable: she takes the ordinary, and with her exceptional gift for metaphor, paints a picture so graphic and fresh you can smell the paint. Jane brings shafts of light where there is darkness and with her energy and vision creates a compelling story which can mobilise even the most cynical.” Allan Taylor, Smagicsoitis, Scotland, UK : Coach, HR professional , co-author of the Coaching Pocketbook.
“The training was by far and away the best training I have ever experienced. On day 1 I was already thinking about when and how I could repeat the training – this is not something I am used to experiencing! The course itself is an amazing combination of traditions and skills – most of which I am only just starting to learn about.
Jane’s storytelling was a wonderful, inspiring, enchanting, entrancing experience for me. I was moved to tears on several occasions as she fired arrows straight through my barriers right into my heart. I will never forget those moments.
The two trainers worked beautifully together, complementing each other’s skills, approaches and personalities. It was a great double act. I felt 100% supported the whole way through (and it was something of a roller coaster ride) and I know other participants did too.
Now I am writing, thinking, storytelling in a completely different way. I have been wanting to write for a long time but without finding any inspiration. This experience was just as if someone had opened the top of my head, poured something in, then out came the words, the ideas, the emotions, the stories, the humour, the power, the creativity. I feel like I have been connected to the most powerful energy sources: creativity, power, truth, love.
I woke up in the night telling stories to myself, short but powerful and emotional, some leaving me in floods of tears as I reconnected with positive childhood memories.
I dreamt twice that I was a plant whose roots had outgrown the pot and I was pushing the earth over the top.
I activated my creativity switch and could feel a surge of – well it wasn’t what my logical brain thought ‘creativity’ would be. It was a mixture of: energy, humour, passion, fun, sizzling, whooshing, wordplay, images, nonsense. (Yes of course this is what creativity is! It just felt different, way different, to what I was expecting).
The most heartfelt thanks for a life- changing 4 days.” Joanna Young, coach and writer, Scotland, UK
