WE CONSTANTLY UPDATE OUR COMMENTS FROM HAPPY CUSTOMERS - THIS MANY PEOPLE CAN'T BE WRONG...... Dear Laurie, I recently attended your 'Maximising Your Training and Teaching Impact' workshop. I had attended the same workshop 2 years earlier and loved it just as much this time. The workshop completely revolutionised the way I approached teaching, and after attending the first workshop I could not wait to get back to work and start putting some of the ideas into practice.
I attended the Maximise your Training and Teaching Impact in September
2009 before it was an accredited course and thoroughly enjoyed it. It
was the best, most engaging, and fun training I have ever attended!
Having just completed the accredited course, all I can say is that it's
now even better. Don't ask me how Laurie managed to improve on this as
it was already brilliant. I honestly believe that all trainers and
teachers should attend this course as it is absolutely jam packed with
simple, brilliant, practical and effective techniques that really work. On top of that it's really fun! Laurie has an amazing ability to cover
an enormous amount of material yet tailor the sessions to suit the needs
of the individual participants so that everyone leaves with solutions to
their training challenges. I highly recommend this course to anyone who
wants to be an effective and engaging trainer. Thanks very much Laurie!
Inspirational!
Hi Lindel, On behalf of the Woody Point Teacher Aides Committee please convey our sincere thanks to Laurie for such a great day The general consensus on the day was that Laurie was fantastic. He had a such a presence on arrival and this carried through for the whole of his session. Time just flew and we were surpised when our time was up because we were so engrossed and were wanting more. We hope to attend one of his sessions in the near future. regards, Jenny Nesbitt
Lindel and Laurie, Thank you both for your assistance in preparing for Laurie’s presentation today. As a new group we were learning as we go . your assistance was greatly appreciated.

The Team is really energised. I just hope that I can keep pace with them now!! Ohh! What have I done!! We decided to place a few reminders around the office walls. Copies of the wall plaques are attached FYI. No copyright I hope!! The Team is really enthusiastic about keeping the energy going. The WARNING is placed on the door to our office space – and is attracting a lot of attention. The Team just love explaining it to the non-converted. Several meetings through the week, team members challenged each others’ assumptions, and the “but it might not be true” phase is becoming a bit of a catch cry at the moment. So your magic seems to be working. Hope you enjoy the wall plaques – we do!! It’s always a pleasure doing business with the Mindworks Team. Keep up the good work. Regards, Graham Mathews
Hi Laurie, I wanted to send you my heartfelt thanks for helping me see a better way. I attended your "possibility thinking" workshop in Rockhampton at the Oral Health Conference. I had already read and participated in a few activities in the past along the same lines as what you presented, but I obviously had slipped back into unhealthy thought patterns and had 'lost my way' so to speak! All of the new information and techniques you taught have just cemented a deeper commitment from me to stay on track. I am reminded everyday about CVS to BVS (thanks for the stickers) and each morning my daughter and I do PACE and the TV doesn't go on straight away! It was your presentation that sparked this whole shift in me and I've been 'riding the wave' since then. New opportunities are opening up and it is so easy to get up out of bed these days and enjoy my life. Once again my sincere thanks Laurie. Name withheld - privacy. It seems the day was very successful and well received by those who attended. I commend Laurie, yourself, Pam, PAH staff and attendees for what on all accounts was an enjoyable, insightful and well presented workshop. Well done, James Day, Learning & Development, QHSSP Laurie, I participated in the "Flexing the Mental Muscle" workshop with you in August to help enhance my memory retention and study skills. As a stressed student, I wasn't feeling confident with the strategies I had been using. The morning of the workshop, I felt physically sick with the stress of going, not because I was worried about being there, but worried about all the work I should be doing and wondering how could I possibly justify a whole day of not working on my studies. Now, I wonder, how could I have afforded not to go? The skills I learnt on the day, I have been constantly applying and sharing with as many people as possible. I love using my most powerful tool (your words, Laurie), my coloured pen. My notes from my lectures now look like Egyptian hieroglyphics, one page of pictures that transforms into the content of the lectures in one easy to understand page. My mindmapping & brainstorming now helps me to give structure to all of the information racing around in my head and the peace of mind I had before walking into my exam was remarkably different to how I used to feel. I've even used the memory pegging activity with a bunch of 30 restless year 8 high school students, with great success. They did really well and I remembered all of them that we had done, although the kids laughed at me when I acted out the licking of my cream bun. Overall, what an invaluable experience and with 9 years experience as a high school teacher, I wonder why I never had the opportunity to learn these skills before? I guess it's never too late. Thank you Laurie. Kind regards Cherie Smith
Laurie, I was at the course on Thursday the 5th of October that you gave to Australia Post staff. I thoroughly enjoyed it, Laurie and am saving to bring some of my family along to it. The benefits for everyday living would be amazing. I was telling my husband Tim about remembering the 20 words that you gave us and guess what?..........I remember every one of them this morning at 6am!!!!!!! Thank you again, you were very enjoyable to listen to and gave us all something to think about. Leah Gaffney, Spring Hill Post Shop Hi Lindel, It's been a hectic few weeks, but I've finally had the chance to sit down and write a thankyou email. The mindworks session with Laurie that I attended on the 14th of June was absolutely fantastic and I gained a number of new skills from the session. So thankyou for your excellent and efficient organisation of the day, and thankyou to Laurie for the time, effort and passing on of information. - Kind regards, all the best, Sandi Dawson, Australian Youth Development Program Moyne Shire was abuzz recently after two days of Flexing the Mental Muscle with Laurie Kelly. The majority of staff attended one of the two one-day workshops and returned to work full of energy and ideas, both mentally and physically re-charged. There has been a conspicuous increase in the consumption of water; lots of questions are asked about who has “hooked up” recently and there are some who can still proudly recite the twenty items in their memory list. On a more serious note, the energy of the staff has significantly increased, concentration and focus are more easily achieved and creative thinking is far more the norm. Many individuals have stories of how specific parts of the course have positively impacted both their working and personal lives and there is something in the day to inspire everyone. Laurie’s training is invaluable: high energy, high impact training that is relevant to every organisation and its staff. Lyndal Osbourne, Moyne Shire Council, Melbourne Hi! Thank you Laurie and Lindel for a wonderful Showcase last Friday. It was very insightful and I certainly walked away with tools which are simple yet so mind blowing! Many thanks! Odile HBH Williams, Professional Coach, Ingenius Coaching Hi Lindel , Thank you for the lovely email. The man himself is an absolute delight; just the sort of presenter we like to have here at School Support Services – a presenter who is easy going and is an absolute pleasure to talk to. Have just come back into the office from talking to him and his only concern was – who won the soccer! The feedback from our NZ teachers is that they really want to get him back in NZ next year. Everyone I spoke to was just buzzing and was really enjoying the course. The RTLBs (an association) would like to bring him in (but through School Support Services) so I will talk directly with them and perhaps tag on a few more days for presentations in 2007 (hopefully in warmer weather – it is soooooo cold here and not sure if Laurie has brought enough winter woollies to keep him warm!!!!) Anyhow I will contact you in the next couple of weeks to see if we can secure some bookings. I did mention to Laurie that it has been an absolute pleasure working with you and how professional you and Mindworks have been during the last few months. It has been great and thank you for all your hard work. It has made this tour a success. Enjoy the holidays and I will be in touch. Nikki Pound, Regional Course Coordinator, University of Waikato, School Support Services, Hamilton, New Zealand Dear Lindel, Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to Laurie for another excellent workshop on Saturday. I have had positive feedback from every staff member that attended and have even witnessed exercises being performed in the tea room this lunch time. Once again thanks to you all for your assistance in arranging this presentation. Regards Jayne Carrington, Team Leader, Customer Service, Caloundra Council FMM June, 2006 Laurie came to QSuper to deliver a personal development session called "Possibilities Thinking" to our Member Services staff. Our thanks to Leon Carrall, A/Manager, Information & Education & Grant Chalk, Training & Development Officer, QSuper - Member Services, for sharing their comments.
I have been to various training and facilitation courses and I found MINDWORKS' "Maximise your training Impact" the most insightful, informative and useful course, than I have been to. I learnt more in one day than I have learnt in the last 6 months! The interaction with the other participants also improved my learning experience, even though we were from very different organisations. I have taken on board Laurie's suggestion to review the learning’s at certain stages after the course and this has enhanced my learning even further. In fact, I feel like I gain great insights at each review of the course. I now have a bottomless tool box of ideas to heighten the effectiveness of my training and facilitation methods. Thank you for sharing your insights and knowledge with us! Our thanks to Katrina Boyle, Lions Nathan, for her comments. We have done three workshops with Laurie and always enjoyed them; who would have thought learning could be so much fun? Following on from our last workshop, several members reported increases in sales and prompt payment of overdue accounts. But most importantly Laurie has taught us to trust our instincts and to see all the opportunities we may have missed, as well as new ways of doing things. Thanks Laurie, Thanks to Jennie Beecroft, Sales & Administration Manager, Beeline Products Pty Ltd
“By
golly! We have presenters who get good reviews, we have presenters who
get excellent reviews, we even have ones who get rave reviews –
but haven’t had one like you who has participants adding to the
rating scale and writing the word “BRILLIANT!” Thank you
Laurie.” “Personally
I could talk all day about how accelerated learning techniques improve
performance and make learning fun. This would have to be one of the
best investments I have made yet.” “I
will be recommending your workshops to my colleagues throughout the
State. Could you please send me business cards to pass on other Managers
who may wish to contact you?” “In
our endeavour to provide a balanced work environment, Laurie with his
positivity and enthusiasm for life, gave us all the opportunity to look
at why we get stressed and how we can easily make a difference in our
own lives and those around us” “The
Management Forum ‘Stress for Success’ by Laurie Kelly proved
to be the most successful management forum for the year” “The
session was extremely well received and your ability to present to our
audience in the manner you did was remarkable. It’s not often
you get Lawyers in a room doing exercises and listening to a presentation
on stress hardiness. Well done! An overwhelming
majority of participants found Laurie Kelly’s presentation outstanding
and useful to them (91%) “I
have received lots of positive feedback from many of our delegates regarding
the value of your presentation. The information you presented has resulted
