Jamie Smart
jamie@mynlpresources.com

Jamie Smart is the CEO, Founder of www.mynlpresources.com and salad and general NLP genius.  Jamie is a highly skilled and experienced SNLP-accredited NLP trainer.  He has been taught by some of the best NLP trainers out there, including Richard Bandler, John Grinder, John LaValle, Robert Dilts, Eric Robbie, Jo Cooper, Peter Seal, Ian McDermott, Joseph Riggio, Sid Jacobson, and Jonathan Altfeld to name but a few.

Jamie believes that his skill can only grow as he continues to learn from those he respects, and that in order to train Salad’s clients to the best of his ability he has a duty to keep researching and learning for himself, gathering new skills and honing old ones.

He excels at passing on his unique skills in our intimate training setting and loves the work he is able to do with the clients that pass through Salad’s doors.  He teaches with a blend of humour, compassion and wisdom that is exceptional in his chosen field.

Jamie believes in giving a thorough grounding of the complete NLP skill set, which is why our Practitioner and Master Practitioner trainings are each taught over the course of 15days.  He has such a rich understanding of NLP, gathered from all his teachers, that he believes it is only through such intensive and thorough training that he can pass on everything he has learned.  He will never accredit someone as a Practitioner or Master Practitioner until he is 100% happy that they can practice every skill he teaches with dexterity and competence.

As well as being the creator of Salad’s Ericksonian Hypnosis Cards^TM, Jamie writes a free, weekly NLP tip which goes out on the internet.  It currently has over 20,000 subscribers, and the numbers are rising every week.  He is also the creator of the NLP ‘pizza-walk’ experience, which many trainers now use with great success.

Jamie’s background is in IT, first as a computer programmer and then rising through the ranks to become a first class project manager, working to bring in multi-million pound corporate projects on time (mostly) and on budget.  He is still sought after for his project management skills today, despite having been working exclusively with NLP for a number of years now.

Jamie came to the U.K. from Canada some years ago, and has been here ever since. He lives with his two daughters and assorted pets, in Hinckley, Leicestershire

myNLPresources.com Manager

Nikki is the www.mynlpresources.com manager and Managing Director of Salad.

Nikki is the calm hub around which the rest of the Salad wheel revolves. She's been with Salad since January 2005 as Jamie's PA, and also manages the administration team and is preparing to become MD at the end of this year. While she has never trained formally as a juggler, her innate ability shows itself in her skill at managing everything from web design and marketing campaigns to office moves and organising Jamie. She comes to us from a background in Office Management and PA support in many interesting industries from Insurance to boxing promotions!

Nikki lives in Leicester with her new husband Rich and their 2 cats Sully and Bruno, following their wedding in June this year.

When she's not doing Salad stuff, she loves to travel and has recently visited both Egypt & Goa. She has also just returned from her honeymoon in the Maldives.

Content Management

Serena is one of Salad’s administrators, spending most of her time supporting Nikki, and is reponsible for all the content management and scheduling on www.mynlpresources.com.  She came to Salad 4 years ago after returning from a 3 month trip to Fiji where she worked on a conservation project surveying the coral reefs, living on the beach of perhaps one of the most remote islands in the world, Gau. Before that she had completed a degree in Psychology at Plymouth University.

When she’s not sorting things out in the office her main passion is scuba diving, each year jetting off for a liveaboard adventure. She is currently a PADI Rescue Diver and will hopefully find the time to complete her Divemaster qualification very soon. Serena lives with her boyfriend, Bugs, in the Leicestershire countryside and together they enjoy walking in the country, travelling, eating good food and having friends to stay in their new home.
