I can’t recommend the Techpixies Social Media Magic course enough. This course gave me confidence and support to help me start a new chapter in my working life. It’s not just about the learning and upskilling either (which you definitely get!), Joy and the whole Techpixies team are there to help all the way, with coaching calls and mindset work and each cohort and the alumni supports each other too. For me, this course has given me confidence, fulfilment, amazing new skills and set me on a path to a stimulating career! It’s one of the reasons I’m now running a new and successful business!

I had heard so many wonderful thing about Alicia and her parenting talks, and was then lucky enough to meet her and hear her speak last year. Alicia offers a combination of evidence based advice and practical common sense to help guide every parent through the their own parenting journey. I bought Alicia’s book ‘Why every teenager needs a parrot’, read it in a day, and found myself quoting Alicia and recommending her to almost every parent I came across! Alicia’s new wellbeing hub is a MUST for any parent and a brilliant resource to have at your fingertips. Raising children in a digital era comes with huge challenges and having access to practical and pragmatic advice is a great help. As a parent to an almost 17 year old myself, I am coming up against all those familiar issues to deal with – from parties, relationships, and driving, to how to deal with alcohol and warn them about drugs. All a parent really wants is for their child to be happy and healthy and capable of embarking on their adult life with the confidence and the skills to live their lives to the full but also with the means to make sensible decisions and well thought out choices too. Alicia works with schools, parents and organisations to help them create environments in which young people can thrive. She believes that children are best supported when school and home are aligned which is why she offers courses to staff and parents, and her talks for pupils support the work schools are already doing in PSHE. I could not recommend Alicia more highly, her talks are outstanding and her knowledge evidence based and thorough. In fact, I would go as far to say she is one of the best speakers and the most valuable resources I have come across.

I can’t recommend TLR Dynamics “Regaining Your Mojo” course enough – the excuse to stand back from life for an hour a week, spend a little time reflecting on “me” was a huge privilege. The course is really well structured and Alex is excellent at creating a safe space to explore and refine your core values. It’s about understanding yourself, and building the awareness and confidence to ensure your life choices mirror who you are today – and what’s important to you tomorrow.

I attended Alex’s Regaining Your Mojo course last year and was bowled over by how much I enjoyed it and learnt about myself. Alex is excellent at guiding you through the various exercises and creating a safe space to discover your core values and how those shape your work and personal life. I learnt a great deal about myself and my interactions with others and felt encouraged to learn more

We ran a series of Leadership Masterclasses with Alex earlier this year for a small group of RHC Members. I really enjoyed them, feel that I learnt a huge amount and could not recommend Alex more highly. The sessions were really well run and everyone got a huge amount from them.

“Prior to my coaching sessions with Ian, I had nearly given up my job search as the job market was so tough due to Covid-19. When I started my sessions, he gave me hope again and helped me think outside the box to reinvigorate my search. I would highly recommend Ian as his advice was invaluable”.

“I approached Acorn Career Consulting for assistance on a crossroads in my life that was totally suppressing my confidence, drive and happiness – career choice! I was simultaneously mentored, challenged, assisted and most importantly encouraged in overcoming and surpassing restrictive boundaries halting my progress. Ian helped me craft not just a career plan but a vision of the future – I am infinity grateful’

I would highly recommend Sylvie Garvey who runs Computer Fitness

I recently had some problems with software on my computer. Sylvie visited my home and was able to identify and sort out the problem almost immediately.

Sylvie offers a range of services including IT problem solving, web safety and parental controls. She also runs IT workshops and back to work IT training. Sylvie is clearly very competent and knows her subject inside out. She is a mum and is very nice and approachable and talks in a language that a non-techie like me can understand!
