Client Comments:

Imagine the second day of a conference that follows a guest dinner with much drinking. Then imagine 70 weary guests sat in a theatre at 9am in the morning. Within 45 minutes the same audience was on its feet singing “we are the champions” and waving their hands in the air. Well that was the exact effect when we had Mo Shapiro along to our conference.

Moving thinking and taking on new ideas was exactly what our conference was about and Mo underscored the theme brilliantly and brought energy and engagement to the proceedings.

I just wanted to say how much I personally enjoyed your presentation. It has already changed the way I communicate with people. I have networked with several people who were there too and they remain as enthusiastic as me on your ‘teaching’ of NLP.

Mick Judge Director, Wellingborough Innovation Centre

Mo’s a complete professional, highly imaginative and innovative. She guided us through a most valuable team building day leaving us all with a very positive

Mo Shapiro's energy and enthusiasm are infectious. It's impossible to be in her presence and not be uplifted.

Doug Stevenson – Author of Never be Boring Again

Thank you so much for being our expert on ‘All in the Mind’. You were wonderful, a real star.

Helen Lloyd Producer Carlton Television

Mo was brilliant. She got the conference off to a great start and created an atmosphere of anticipation, almost instant engagement and fun. She maintained the upbeat tone throughout a very demanding, fast-paced and participative day. The staff feedback forms particularly singled out Mo for praise, with many delegates saying it was the best conference we’d ever had.

Rosie Stevens Head of HR and OD Bedfordshire Pilgrims Housing Association

I was expecting great shakes from this Shapiro woman ... and you exceeded my expectations by a mile! The organisers had given you the toughest spot, straight after lunch, but you sent us all home buzzing with energy and good humour. That's the most innovative and entertaining ending to a speech that I've ever seen.

The event went very well and Mo was fantastic. I had excellent feedback from both the management team and the staff, who thoroughly enjoyed her talk and definitely took something away with them.

Thank you for changing my life. I have been putting your suggestions into practice in my own life and I have released myself from being depressed and stuck in an abusive relationship, to being excited, happy and empowered every day.

Mo Shapiro carried out the task of training a number of our partners, fee earners and administrative staff in carrying out appraisals as part of our initiative in obtaining Investors in People accreditation. It was a difficult task because of the variety in status of the members of the groups who were not used to training together. It required a good deal of skill and tact to make the members of the group comfortable with each other and Mo achieved this which was a major contribution to our achieving IIP accreditation.

Paul Rose, Training & Recruitment Partner, Halliwell Landau (Law firm with 420 staff.

“Mo was an inspiration to each and every person who attended our brand launch. The room was energised and Mo held everyone’s interest with anecdotes, humour, passion and enthusiasm. The feedback from all the team has been positive and they are all still talking about her speech a week later!

Not only was Mo able to communicate NLP theories simply but she also tied this in with our new Smart Work ethos making it relevant to every one both personally and professionally.

Thank you Mo, for contributing to the success of such a fabulous day. It was defiantly a champagne moment for Formkraft.”

Gwyneth Smith
Director Formkraft


A very big "thank you" for taking the time to come and take part in the Everywoman conference. The feedback from the audience was phenomenal with them all saying how they had thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and how inspirational you were.

Maxine Benson co-founder Everywoman Limited.

You have transformed my life. I cannot thank you enough for the excellent talk and thoughts you introduced me to.

Jenny Barlow, manager of cycle shops chain.

Mo inspired our counter staff and managers as part of six team training events. The results were evident in an increase in customer satisfaction and our bottom line.

Gen Brench, Director Lloyds TSB.

You provided valuable information and techniques that I know had a significant impact. One of our members has subsequently returned to university to complete her Masters and your presentation was influential in producing the "mindshift" necessary to make the move.

Ann Rolfe President Coast Central SWAP New South Wales.
