What Our Students are saying

My name is Nayef Moukhtar, I am from Egypt.
Last summer, I decided to make a professional career shift. My decision has led me to the Academy of Coaching and NLP (Summer Intensive Program). I just want to mention that it is not a training or coaching program, it is a life changing experience. Before meeting Helen and the ACN's great team, I was trying to visualize my dream. Now I am living my dream, enjoying my journey with people, towards our various destinations. Coaching is a new industry in Egypt, and I am sure it is the right time to introduce real coaching as it is much needed now because of our great revolution and political circumstances. I am grateful that I am among very few people (may be 10 individuals out of 88 million) who decided to introduce life coaching in Egypt and help people to live their highest self.

Thank you Helen, thank you ACN for giving me the tool box, the art and craft of coaching and above all the confidence and certainty of our value and effectiveness as life coaches in changing the world through our ripple effect.

[special thanks to my great coach and mentor Helen Attridge for her continous guidance and support before/during/after our summer intensive course and till this very moment. Helen in a nutshell is a natural born inspirer and genuine coach].

Nayef Moukhtar, Certified NLP and Life Coach, Cairo, Egypt

Hello Helen!!
Well it has been a world wind during the last 3 1/2 months since the end of the course. I have started to work with 5 clients over the last three months, achieved or set to achieve about 90% of the goals that I set during your amazing course, by the beginning of the next year.

Each step seems to bring a greater level of excitement. I have found that even the smallest action forward can cause a paradigm evolution. In my clients I have seen such huge changes even with a small new action and understandings.

All this going on, even with a crazy busy family and personal life, it is amazing how clean my office is and more important how balanced and at ease I feel!

Helen, thank you for giving me my life back through this amazing course and making the possibility of my passion a reality!!

Executive and Life Coach, Paradigm Evolutions Coaching, San Francisco, CA.

The summer course with ACN was a perfect step for me, I was looking for an ICF training facility that offered the ICF model combined with good level of NLP-training, in the US. That is precisely what I got! Helen and the other trainers were very competent and I immediately got the feeling that I was in the right place. That feeling increased every day and it peaked dramatically, when I had one of my most powerful life changing experiences EVER. That magical moment happened in front of the class during one of the demonstrations with other students supervised by Master Coach Helen. The NLP that was taught was very fine tuned and well designed for coaching and personal development. All together, the training took my coaching skills to a different level and most of all I was filled up emotionally with joy, compassion and love from all the people, students and trainers, and especially from Helen. Today, six month after the training, I’m finalizing the mentor coaching and preparing for the PCC exams and opening up a new company where training and coaching are the central parts of the delivery and my coaching business is booming.

Lars Alberyd, INLPTA NLP trainer & ICF ACC Coach, Executive Coach, Stockholm, Sweden

For years I debated certification. Did I really need it? Was it really worth it? I’d been coaching for some time and while there was room to improve my practice, I was doing fine. Then a friend and fellow coach encouraged me to join him as a student in the ACN program, and I agreed.

WOW. Immediately I felt a new sense of possibility. Yes, there were excellent tools, practices, and protocols for working with clients. And rich connections with other coaches. And certification. Best of all, it gave me the clarity and confidence to (finally) integrate my organizational, coaching, and training competencies and create the corporate coaching practice I envisioned when I left corporate life more than a decade ago. Now, less than a year after completing the ACN program, I have contracts with two large hi-tech companies in the Silicon Valley and my practice continues to grow. I love it!

Laurel Callan, Individual and Corporate Coaching, Sonoma, CA

The decision to attend and graduate from the Academy of Coaching and NLP's intensive training program has been a pivotal life decision. I was already a business coach but now I have clients who have given me some amazing testimonials about how I've been able to change their lives and be present to them in a way that I didn't understand until completing this training and practicing my new skills. The change in me in the last 6 months is dramatic and life changing. I now can't imagine not having done it.

If you are already using coaching skills professionally and you've thought, as I did, about getting some professional training, don't hesitate. You will not regret attending this program. Recently I was thinking about how I was going to get more. Helen, what's next?!
