Testimonials

Mike Catton

Cornerstone Trainer and Co Developer

Mike has written an award winning technique to help people create change, his solution was chosen over 2,000 other Coaches. Amanda and Mike write all courses together so you truly are getting the best of the best!

Mike Catton gained a BEng (Hons) in Aeronautical Engineering and qualified as a Chartered Aircraft Engineer before realising that his passion was in personal development. Quitting his job as an Engineering Officer in the British Army responsible for a fleet of aircraft and a 120+ team was bold and risky step.

A Skills and Personal Development Officer post at the University of Surrey was created in response to Mike's request for such a post. He taught Accelerated Learning techniques, Leadership and Communication Skills amongst other things, to improve student performance in the job search market. The University held, and still does, the top place in the country for graduates entering employment.

Mike emigrated to New Zealand in 2006 and has since evolved into a coach and trainer specialising in Productivity and Performance. Having trained with Tony Robbins, Mike recognized the value of NLP and thus qualified as an NLP Instructor and Ericksonian Hypnotherapist. Training is Mike’s passion. He coaches 15+ businesses on a regualar basis and delivers seminars on a range of topics to improve personal and team performance.
