About Cherry Potts

I am NLP  Master Practitoner qualified, and a graduate of the European NLP Coaching Certification, which is accredited by the ICF ( International Coach Federation). I have studied with Ian McDermott, Jan Elfline, Suzi Smith, Robert Dilts and Tim Hallbom.  I have been trained in Group Mastery by Michael Grinder, and a qualified SDI facilitator.

I am an associate member of CIPD ( Chartered Institute of Professional Development) and a Master Practitioner Member of ANLP.

My background is in Housing, Information Management and IT, with an emphasis on training. I have also done voluntary work in housing co-operatives and housing advice, and the conservation movement; I am the author of a collection of short stories published by Onlywomen Press rather a long time ago!  I continue to write, and I design greetings cards under my own imprint, sold through Lavender Lifestyles.

I have  over 12 years management experience, most of it at a senior level. I enjoyed leading a team, and the most rewarding aspects of the work were the personal interaction of coaching and mentoring my team as individuals, recruitment, and team building. I got more and more interested in coaching and discovered NLP through a friend who was training, and has been my coach now for a couple of years.

I found the coaching so useful in so many different areas of my life that I decided I wanted more, and started training in NLP myself. I am now coaching and training full time, instead of squeezing it into the corners of a very full time job. I love coaching. It is as simple as that. I love being coached, and I love coaching others.
