Let us introduce ourselves...

Tony Burgess and Julie French

Our names are Tony Burgess and Julie French and we are Directors of Academy of High Achievers Ltd (Aha!)

When you choose our training, you are choosing a life-enriching experience that you can only just begin to imagine now.

It has repeatedly become very clear to us that although people invest in our training very readily, they are usually unaware of just how positively impactful it is going to be until they actually arrive and begin to experience it. A typical comment from delegates when they begin to experience the full value of our training is: "I knew that it was going to be great and I had no idea it was going to be quite so amazing!"

Our flexible interest-free tailored payment plans make it more affordable than ever to make it happen for yourself - even when your cashflow is not yet as high as your enthusiasm to access the experience and get qualified!

Call us to discuss your specific needs!

Most people tell us that this deal actually makes it more affordable to take part in our top quality training compared to the many 'cheap' trainings on offer out there (where you may be required to pay the whole amount up front in a lump sum).

Tony Burgess

Residential venues:

We have previously delivered our residential NLP Practitioner training in Scotland, Spain, France and Glastonbury. Below are the two wonderful venues that we will be using for our residential training in 2010:

Glastonbury venue for NLP Practitioner

A group of 16th Century Cottages and Function Room in Glastonbury

A series of beautiful Gites set around a fuction room

in the Ardeche region of France

 

We have carefully selected residential venues to create that perfect atmosphere for your learning and development. Imagine having all your needs catered for from the moment you arrive until the moment that you leave, so you can simply focus on enjoying and engaging with the learning experience. We think you deserve to be looked after well whilst you train with Academy of High Achievers.

Training by the pool in France

 

Some of the key factors that enrich your learning experience so significantly include the following:

- We insist on training only small groups of delegates (often a max of 8 people) which means that you get maximum attention from us as your trainers.

- The way we train and coach you really accelerates your learning by operating at both conscious and unconscious levels of processing and by the time you depart you will be a shining example of NLP excellence.

- We provide a unique, clear, practical and super-simple conceptual model through which you can apply all of your change tools (existing and new) to effect positive change effortlessly and reliably, whatever it is that your clients want to achieve.

Working together   What a team and what an environment to learn

- We keep out of the unnecessary jargon that often goes with teaching models and methods for facilitating change. We know that helping you to shine as the outstanding facilitator of change that you can be, is about helping you to 'perform' super-effectively rather than helping you to use fancy terms.

Group - Spain 2007 

- We teach you to be able to work 'content-free' (hence the reference to 'blindfolded' at the top of the page). What we mean by this is that you will become skilled at helping people to make massive progress even when you don't know what it is that they actually want to achieve (only the clients themselves need to know what they want in order for you to help them massively). This is so powerful. So often, 'contamination' can occur when well-meaning change facilitators get drawn into the client's 'story' and start to offer their own opinions and solutions based on their own models of the world. By being able to offer content-free support, you can keep the change process 'pure', freeing the clients own solutions and resources to move forward effectively. Being able to operate in this way makes you a change facilitator that can operate at a level that is head and shoulders above the level at which most are operating.

Spain 2007  NLP Practitioners Feb 08

- You will have lots of opportunity for your own personal development breakthroughs carefully and closely supported by Tony, Julie and Steve as well as your fellow delegates. This programme is stacked full of 'Aha!'  moments and it is a fabulous opportunity to take a big step up on your personal success journey!

Glastonbury training

- When you graduate from the programme, you will be personally supported by us for FREE for your whole lifetime (or at least for as long as we are alive and well enough to support you), as you become part of the Academy's treasured 'family'. This ensures that you will keep your NLP tools sharp and that you continue to live and breathe it!

nlp training 2006 pic   Tony and Julie

The diaried free support opportunities we offer to you amount to an added value of at least £900 + per year on an ongoing basis and that is without taking into account the value of the additional 'ad hoc' free support that we provide you as and when it is requested.

Steve Halls

 - On our residential programmes we have fully qualified personal fitness trainer, Steve Halls, with us for the entire programme to ensure that you are having a truly holistic development experience.

Steve Halls    Steve Halls

Steve is an absolute gem and delegates simply love him! He is an NLP Master Practitioner himself and he weaves the skills seamlessly in with his input as a fitness trainer. There are lots of personal breakthroughs experienced by our delegates in the area of fitness during the residential, including delegates that had not done any kind of deliberate structured exercise since they were a child at school and who considered themselves very unfit.

Steve has a fabulous sense of humour and a great energy about him. He also plays the guitar and sings for us (if we ask nicely) as we relax at the end of a fabulous day of training (on residential programmes).

Fitness Session Spain 2007

 

- On some of our residential training events, Steve's wonderful wife, Marie, as well as being a fully qualified fitness instructor herself, can step into her other expert role of trained and experienced chef for the week - looking after your physical nourishment for the duration of your stay. She really does a fantastic job and we are very lucky to have her on board as part of the Aha! family.

Marie is also a qualified NLP Practitioner herself.

With the whole team dedicated to supporting you on your development journey, we know that the richness and depth of your experiences with us will be something that will stay with you forever.

More words from some of our past delegates:

 

Jane's Experience:

wonderful Jane Keogh Jane Keogh, NLP Practitoner, comments on her training experience:

Jane qualified with us in April 2007, Malaga, Spain

"WOW! I went (on the course), with some outcomes in mind - definite 'stuff' that I wanted to deal with. I came away having achieved all of those outcomes and more. It wasn't just about my own transformation/breakthroughs, it was about being a part of other people's and sharing with them was a fantastic experience and privilege.

The arrow breaking exercise, during which I chose specifically to deal with one of my major outcomes (I knew that I would know when the right moment presented itself), was a major achievement. A tremendous anchor. Touching, feeling and now just looking at the broken arrow triggers some incredibly powerful feelings of well being!

Living life 'in the flame' is my desire and a week on the practitioners course was the beginning of that for sure!

It's also so wonderful to have 'unclogged' my brain. What I mean specifically, is that it's like I have 'fast filed' stuff that was lying dormant and taking up disc space. As a result, my clarity of thought is so much sharper (pinging to be exact!), and my ability to take on new learnings and concepts has heightened. It's like my brain and in particular my unconscious mind, has become a soft, receptive sponge (natural variety of course), moist and healthy instead of hard,dry and scratchy (that's in the past) - allowing valuable knowledge and learnings to process through.

Of course the valuable relationships that developed over the week and the friendships now growing on the back of an incredible week of growth and development have also added to the experience. For me personally, being there with Sean (my husband) was an added bonus - to see his confidence and natural ability shine through stronger each day was immensely satisfying and rewarding.

I'm looking forward to the next Master Practitioner Course."

Steve Scholey:

Steve Scholey

 

"Brilliant! Everything I was told to expect and so much more. The training and insights from Julie and Tony was inspired and inspiring. The knowledge is imparted in so many subtle and powerful ways. My learning was effortless and deep. The combination of NLP and fitness training across the week was such an innovative and effective strategy. I came for NLP training and I go away with my life changed for the better in all sorts of ways. Thanks a million!"

"Dear Tony and Julie

This NLP Practitioner course has been the most amazing, enriching, empowering experience. It far exceeded my expectations - which were high as I had already seen you present several times. What you do - and help others to do - is awe-inspiring. Seeing the transformations that took place and experiencing my own transformations is priceless - invaluable and incalculable. I'm only beginning to glimpse all the possibilities - I know that I will easily spot more and more opportunities and ways to continue benefitting as the days, weeks, months and years go by.

A memorable and remarkable experience. What you give to each of your delegates is the most amazing gift we could ever have - our true self in all its glory!

You supply the best, most effective and easy-to-use 'diamond polishing equipment' I have ever seen.

Thank you!

My love always to you both, my dear friends.

"Individually, Tony and Julie are powerful coaches and trainers and working together as a training team, they combine to dot every 'i' and cross every 't' when it comes to NLP training.

The content was fascinating, superbly structured, and in addition to this, was very interactive and experiential enabling all delegates to really sense that they could "use" the tools they were learning.

The relaxed and fun style enabled us all to laugh "so much" as we learnt, practised and applied our new skills in a supportive and professional programme.

We all left knowing that we could use this stuff!

Tony and Julie made it all so easy to understand and apply.

It changes lives, including your own.

Amazing results even whilst still on the course !!!"

We'll leave the final words to more of the wonderful people that we have had the pleasure and privilege to train:

 

"What a fantastic course"

Simon Streeton, Action Coach

 

 

"Just awesome. I now know what all the people I have spoken to, who have been on the programme, absolutely rave about. A major life-changing event - challenging, enjoyable, fun and just opening my eyes to all the opportunities that lie ahead on this journey. Working with such a professional and motivating Aha! team has really been outstanding. I can recommend this to anyone who wants to be the best they can be"

Ian Nicklin, Action Coach

 

 

"I highly urge anyone who is looking for inner calm and a collection of resources that can benefit every aspect of their lives to do this training"

Max Tubbs

 

 

"A life changing week! An amazing, wonderful experience! Tony, Julie and Steve are the most amazing facilitators for change. At a business level, I have developed the skills to make a real difference to my clients, work colleagues and the business itself. On a personal level it opened up endless possibilities and showed me my potential for achieving my dreams. Thank you for helping me see me and to know that being me is an amazing thing to be!"

Anne Brown, Director, Stepping Stones Mediation

 

 

 

"A truly life-enhancing experience for body, mind and spirit. My high expectations have been exceeded. I am coming away with very real personal experiences of how powerful NLP is as a way of life. As a minimum I have tools that I have used and feel comfortable using to help people. Far more than that  though, my outlook on life and my desire and enthusiasm to see me and everyone I come into contact with truly live the life we deserve and were designed for has been intensified. The 7 days have been marvelous and have been stored in my treasure chest of wonderful memories. I recommend (insist upon) this course to other coaches and to all people who have others in their circle of influence (teachers, parents....)"

Mark Dyble, Action Coach

 

 

"Fantastic experience that has surpassed all expectation. Well structured and has given me much more clarity to all areas of my life. My personal growth has gone through the roof!

Rebecca Pitt

 

 

"The course was from start to finish interesting, stimulating, challenging and above all, loads of fun! This was due to a couple of amazing, unique and inspirational trainers as well as the fantastic bunch of delegates who made it all such a positive and great experience (and Steve Halls for his unique and very special contribution).

I have learned so many skills and techniques that will change my life and the way I feel about myself when I apply them consistently. Thank you for giving me such an amazing and wonderful experience."

Sharon Gaskin

The Trainers Training Company

 

 

"Thank you for an awe-inspiring,life changing experience. The past 7 days have brought learning, reflection, emotion, new insights and fun! Wrap this up with the fabulous content and truly outstanding delivery from both of you and I can say that this training really has been the full package. Congratulations on achieving such inspirational levels of excellence. Your passion and total commitment to what you do has ensured that I take away the skills to touch people's lives and also my own life has been positively affected by the magic you have performed. I can wholeheartedly recommend this course as an event which can and will change lives."

Andy Hemming

Action Coach

 

 

"Thank you for this life changing opportunity! I consider myself incredibly blessed to have been empowered and to take these wonderful teachings out into the world. This journey is only just beginning and holds so much excitement and potential. With so much clarity as to what the future now holds and determination to use my new found NLP skills - I see no boundaries, only opportunities; no problems, only solutions! With love and gratitude to you both."

Karen Steele

Master Teacher

Golden Light Reiki School

www.reikigold.com

 

 

"A quite amazing 7 days. Fantastic content delivered in such an ingenious and energising way that I know that so much of the learning is now part of me.

The magic of NLP has, in the space of a week, allowed me to redefine my purpose, my ideal outcomes and my priorities. It has given me insight into what has been in my way and opened my eyes and heart to the resources I have within me to get those obstacles out of the way.

Tony, Julie and Steve have combined and conspired to make a real difference to my life and have primed me to get out there and make a real difference to other people's lives. Tony and Julie did a fantastic job of getting together a great group of 'practitioners in training' and their inspiration, enthusiasm, talent and energy enabled the whole group to connect and grow together.

I look forward to staying very much part of the Aha! family as I continue my journey"

Graeme Crosbie

Action Coach / Level Up (South West)

 

 

"Everybody knows you are the NLP Gurus and this life experience simply reinforces that. Simply outstanding. With much love, gratitude and laughter"

Nicola Masters

Inspirational Leader of

Boundless UK

 

 

"An amazing, magical journey of enlightenment. Fantastic!! Thank you so much for helping me feel a fantastic human being"

Owen Ward

 

 

 

"I believe the magic of the course began working for me from the time I agreed to do it and continued througout the course. The tools became useful immediately, facilitating dramatic improvements in my relationship with one of my sons in particular. I also began to see results straight away with my clients.

The course was fun in a way that made learning easy and effortless, and embedded possibly forever.

Julie and Tony you are true professionals, wonderful and caring human beings. Your passion for NLP is infectious"

Predencia Gabbidon

Director

Oasis Solutions

 

 

"Fantastic course. The pace was excellent. The teachings amazing. The venue so very special. You are such a special couple. I have learnt so much about me. You have helped me to find the diamond inside and I shall be forever grateful to you. An incredible journey with such an amazing group of people, who I now count as my friends"

Annie Magowan

 

 

"A fantastic journey of self awareness. Focuses on how to use NLP instead of just theoretical stuff. Phenomenal tutors - Bundles of energy, fun and wisdom. Truly inspiring stuff. If you're serious about changing your life or helping others to do so, this training is a must!!!! It stretched my comfort zones and I will take away some fantastic learnings and memories. Magic!"

Comments about our NLP training from some of our past delegates:


"Brilliant teaching and reinforcing of all of the skills needed to help change lives, starting with my own. A MUST for everybody. Study with two of the most congruent, skilled and loving trainers."

Andy Gwynn

Action Coach

 

 

If you step up and do this course, and then use what you learn, you'll find that all areas of your life will be enhanced.
The quality of our lives is firmly based upon the quality of communication we give. Julie enhances lives!
Gil Vasey

 

 

For me a near perfect programme, your joint facilitation was seamless & superb, changing the state & subject just the way it needed to be changed at the right time.
You also achieved that rare feat of creating just enough anxiety to trigger deep lasting learning, but not so great that free flowing experimentation would have been held back, use of Accelerated Learning techniques was also masterful.
I now look forward to deepening & broadening my personal learning and I know I have at least two outstanding models to learn from in my NLP (life I believe!!) journey.
The even more positive impact I will have now and in the future will in large measure be thanks to your subtle facilitation
Joe McGrath
Management & Technical Skills Development Manager
Toyota Motor Manufacturing (UK) Ltd

 


The content of the course from CD to workbook is excellent. The course has helped me in so many more ways than I would have thought possible. Thank you.
As for the quality of presentation, it does not need many words - perfect!
Phil Morgan

 


I found the CD's excellent to listen to and a real help in enabling me to develop an understanding of the material.
The training content was wonderful. It was great to see the demonstrations of the techniques before practicing them ourselves.
The fun exercises and games were a brilliant mix with the formal content
I loved your relaxed natural style, which enabled me to feel relaxed and safe to try out processes and know that nothing is 'wrong'
Katie Rowland
Director (and Executive Coach)
Rowland and Associates Ltd

 


The teaching style worked fantastically well for me. I loved and appreciated having material to work with before the course.
The quality of presentation was excellent!
Carmen Macdougall
Director (and coach)
Life Coach UK

 


Tony, Julie and Steve offer an incredible gift in the form of an amazing journey of discovery. I have, in the past, thought testimonials to be exaggerated and occasionally 'over the top', but words cannot describe the enormous generosity that spills from their work. They train in a hugely sensitive, fun and intuitive way with a very keen sense of what is wanted and needed by delegates. It was an immense pleasure and total honour. Thank you.

Sarah Armitage

Work Vitality

 



Having seen Julie's work I was keen to model her skills myself and so signed up for her NLP training. Here, her supportive teaching style created an environment where we could learn and retain new skills easily and have a great time doing it.
When my own life needed attention it was obvious to me who to turn to as a coach and once again her sensitivity and expert skills created a massive positive result in a very short space of time.
You will find it hard to find a better trainer or coach than Julie French.
Andrew Clark
Director
The Speaker's Academy

 

Having been a trainer on a previous Academy of High Achievers Programme, I knew that this would be of a very high standard. The programme not only met but exceeded expectations. I am delighted to say I have been able to integrate the learning thanks to your advanced learning methods. Many thanks.

Simon Zutshi

Professional Speaker and property investment expert.

 

 

This week has represented an amazing journey led by two amazing guides...It has given me everything I required of it and I will recommend it to anyone who wants to unleash their own potential and who wants to go on and touch the lives of others. This programme has provided skills insights, inspiration, fun, laughter and challenges by the truckload. Thank you. It/you/we are amazing!

Ian Kinnery

Coach

 

 

Well organised and very professional training. Exceeded my expectations and gave me a life-enhancing experience. Every method of training was effective, ensuring that I came away feeling competent in practicing at a high level. Each member of the training team gave their all every minute of every day. I felt extremely privileged with all the one-to-one support I received. Each and every delegate hadaccess to unlimited support throughout. Keep the numbers small - it works!

Thanks for bringing forward my goal. Without this course I wouldn't have been able to see my true potential and purpose.

Rachel Stoop

Life Coach

 

 

The mystery around this 'life-enhancing experience' unfolded each day with the magic that you worked. My expectations were high along with the standards I had set myself and have been completely blown away. Each day brought something new and exciting that was done in a completely safe and supportive environment. I have never - yes, never - experienced a course that has given me so much, both physically and mentally, with so much magic and fun.

Kevin Lamb

Learning and Development Facilitator

 

 

Words fail me to express all the many ways that this Practitioner training has affected my life! Suffice it to say that the professionalism and patience, care and compassion shown to myself and other delegates was without measure. I would recommend this training to anyone of any age group.

Mike Deakin

 

 

Ok, where do I begin? After 7 days filled with excitement, fun, fears, energy and transformation, my life and my outlook will never be the same again. The level of commitment shown by Julie French and Tony Burgess to each and every delegate was phenomenally high. The belief exuding from Steve was equally considerable. This enabled all the amazing delegates to follow a unique and very personal journey, which will remain with them for a lifetime. Such change has inspired everyone to step up and then to step up again. We all now know exactly what were capable of and we truly, truly believe it too – and that is ANYTHING! It has been a perfect course that has set me up for a perfect life. Thank you Julie, Tony and Steve.”
Sanjiv Sethi

 

 

“Julie French and Tony Burgess create learning programmes that make an important difference in people’s lives, careers and business. These, coupled with ongoing support events, and a wonderfully diverse network of participants, including me I’m pleased to say, add up to something very special. I’m very happy to have chapters by Tony and Julie in my book, ‘Good Question! The Art of Asking Questions to Bring about Positive Change’ and their writing is as positive as they are. You are in good hands with Tony and Julie.”
Judy Barber

The programme has been a life changing experience for me. This is really down to you Tony, Julie and Steve. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise in such a passionate, energetic, fun and professional way. You successfully created and environment, which was totally conducive to learning.
I certainly feel empowered to achieve my massive goal.
Sharon Elliott, Coach



An amazing course. Learning was awesome, raising me to a level of understanding and application to really have impact on behaviour. Tony and Julie work as a duo with such impact that they deliver as one. This gives an experience of learning which could not be beaten. They give their all and as a result the delegates go from strength to strength.

Lynn Grocott

Author, Coach and Professional Speaker

 


“Going along to this “full immersion” course in April 2005 gave me an opportunity to enhance my NLP skills beyond my wildest dreams whilst being stretched both mentally and physically.
The team and individual challenges took me way out of comfort zone on numerous occasions. However, I always felt safe in the knowledge that I was not being judged. Far from it, I was being helped on every step of the journey.
To include fitness trainer (Steve Halls) in the presentation team was a stroke of genius. Feeling myself wanting to join in with the early morning walks, jogs and swims was tremendous and down to the sense of safety that came from Steve’s understanding of everyone’s physical capabilities.
Well done Julie and Tony for putting on such an inspirational week.”
Bryn Jones, Sometime NOW


Well what can I say – what an amazing and awesome experience it was. I found the course a profound and powerful learning experience, far beyond any personal development course I have attended or delivered.
The course was cleverly packaged as an NLP Practitioner Course and was so much more. I have developed some new skills, discovered new labels for old skills, and let go of some self-limiting beliefs too. Such good value for money!
The talk and chalk was kept to a minimum, the emphasis being on experiential learning in pairs and small groups. The exercises were extremely creative and engaging. Both of you modelled the skills with elegance and creative flair, and a sense of fun. The values underpinning NLP as an approach were clearly in evidence throughout the week.
Having Steve there for the whole week to engage our bodies in the learning process was inspirational. He added an energising dimension to the learning, bringing his unique quick wit and coaching skills to the fore.
I look forward to many more inspirational experiences from AHA!
Nicky Davies, Facilitator and Coach

 

"First and foremost, again you have excelled yourselves. This course has given me the icing and cherries on top of my cake as far as my coaching skills are concerned. I feel as though I am now coaching at a different level, which is exactly what I wanted.

You were both amazingly supportive and prepared to give at the drop of a hat. This was lovely and much appreciated. Finally, I think the way in which the learning was structured made it so easy to take on board. I had so much fun. Thanks again. It was an unforgettable experience."

“I have known Tony and Julie for a few years now and they never cease to amaze me with their talents as NLP Trainers and Practitioners. I remember the first event of theirs that I attended completely inspired me, into making the transition from HR Practitioner to Professional Coach. Then last summer I was inspired again into setting up my own business, which is now a reality. I appreciate that when people talk about things being a “life changing experience” that it sounds a little cheesy, however, that's the truth. I cannot recommend this team highly enough"

Estelle Read, Director of Beee

(Coaching and Training)

You know don't you how amazing that week will be in the hearts of us all for the whole of our life time.

"The difference that this week has made to my life is totally immeasurable. I am indeed a different person today than when I joined the course on Sunday. Thank you for a truly inspirational, fun, easy learning, transformational week. I had my reservations about NLP before joining your course. Now I can safely and thankfully say that it is definitely the best, most powerful transformational toolbox that I now own. The easy, persuasive way that you delivered the course was amazing. You both supported me in your own individual unique ways, adding even more to my fantastic breakthroughs. Im wondering if you realise how much you touch people's lives."

"An awesome event. A must for anyone who wants more from life - more for them, their family, friends, colleagues, clients. The best training of my life so far. So practical, so beneficial, so...what are you waiting for?"

Chris Clarke

Coach

 

 

"Wonderfully simple and effective organisation. Relaxed and 'getting the job done' approach. The openness and congruence of the personal information shared aided and enhanced the experience. Ingenious use of physical activity and exercise to team-build, keep the energy high and a large amount of learning time - 6am to 11pm - I would never have believed it possible but I do now. Also the humour added to the experience 10-fold. The many individual touches all added to the feeling of having attended a truly expert training - and certainly life-enhancing!"

"I started the course with high expectations which were all gracefully met and super-exceeded. A totally life-enhancing experience! Finally - the last barrier smashed through! And the other side? 100% certainty of my powerfulness as an agent of permanent change for myself and all who want it. I now know totally that I can reach out and grab the life I have been destined to live to fulfil my mission - to radiate, nurture and manifest God's love for humanity. Awesome!"

Sarah Jayne Hewitt

 

 

"This course was truly life-changing. The learnings have made sense of so many things in my life and have given me a huge number of tools to explore further. Vitally, I now know that I am an exceptional coach with the power to help people make magical changes in their lives, both in my professional roles as coach and trainer and in private life. The course was led by two exceptionally gifted trainers - Julie French and Tony Burgess. It was hugely participative. The approach was instructive, stretching and fun - the 3 best elements for learning. Tony and Julie not only walk the talk and walk the walk - they LIVE it! Plenty of hard copy was provided alongside the practical training. Real support is provided. The welcome and warmth we received meant that I for one have been able to push my personal boundaries beyond anywhere that I had anticipated . As I said to start with - Life changing!"
