Reviews / Votes
'Working with Conrad was very stimulating because he offers sound practical advice that people can relate to and adopt.' Gloria Hunniford Here is just some of the feedback from the hundreds of people who have benefited from Suzanne and Conrad's work: 'For the first time in my life I'm able to say 'No' - I've never done this before, it's wonderful to feel in control at last and I'm also becoming much better at managing my time.' 'I'm not afraid of saying what I think anymore and the amazing thing is I'm getting more respect.' 'I can now be firm and fair as opposed to either being too aggressive or just giving in.' 'I turned our next meeting with a very demanding client into one where we won a huge tender.'More details
