Cheryl Sklan Accredited NLP Trainer, Consultant and Coach

Finding your essence and bringing your best self to everything you do.

Thank you for visiting my website and welcome.

Through one-to-one coaching and participation on my programmes you will be introduced to NLP.  I run independent open programmes leading to a Practitioner Certificate, in the UK, Israel and India. I also work with organisations that are seeking change as well as Leadership Programmes for religious and secular enterprises.

I run NLP open programmes from my home in the UK. I create intimate groups of learners, enabling participants to give and receive meaningful feedback, setting compelling outcomes and changing the way we all operate in the world.

Whether you are in work or at home and are looking to raise the bar in your performance, I help you achieve that. This process is about achieving alignment in everything you do.

I am a psychotherapist and trainer with over 25 years experience and love the opportunity my work gives me to be part of the journey towards change. I find NLP to be the most compelling way to explore personal development. It allows us to contribute fully to our work, our families, friends and the world. All my programmes are enriched by my values of passion, openness, integrity, creativity and diversity.

I believe if we remain curious, open and we notice the qualities of excellence in everyone we meet, we can model excellence and change our own piece of the world. The collaborations I am engaged with this year are witness to this belief.

My other passion is my voluntary work with young people, for which I received an MBE last year. Among the organisations I have been involved with are NOAM (Noar Masorti) where Jewish youth find their identity and are able to live in a multi cultural world and the Tibetan Jewish Youth Exchange (TJYE) a partnership organisation with Longsho, a Tibetan youth movementworking in north India.  I am a trustee of TJYE which is a place where Jewish and Tibetan youth exchange ideas and learn about each others’ culture.

I am indebted to my teacher Sue Knight, whose work has been so influential in the field of NLP in the UK and beyond. I hope you find what you are looking for on the next  pages and I look forward to hearing from you.


THE FLAMINGO: The Power of Metaphor

Did you know that the flamingo is an extraordinary bird that has its own unique system of communicating with fellow flamingos? It does this unique dance, which is understood to be its mating dance, and then it takes off in flight. Flamingo comes from the word flame, and in auyvedic understanding that is the part of us, that has the power to transform. It brings all the atoms together and creates an impulse of nervous reaction, feelings and thought processes. So when I chose the flamingo as my metaphor for myself and for my work on my own training, I chose from an unconscious part of me and I believe that I chose well!
