My academic background is in Business, having graduated from the University of Bradford’s Management Centre in 1989. My professional experience is in Human Resources, Management and Leadership which are fields I have worked within for over 20 years.

My experience in human relations has led me to believe that many of the problems and challenges at work are not always to do with external conditions but more with aspects of ourselves that are not fully developed, played out in an organisational arena. Issues related to self-esteem, the failure to use power appropriately, the avoidance of adult responsibilities, side-stepping potential conflict for fear of being submerged or unleashing hidden aggression, struggles to establish and maintain personal boundaries, difficulties in articulating needs and wants, and failure to act with moral conscience all rear their heads in company business. What I have witnessed and worked with are often personal wounds formed in early years, largely forgotten and outside of individual awareness, which nevertheless govern how situations are interpreted, how relationships are managed, how decisions are made and how actions are taken. The lack of emotional education in our schools, colleges and universities has led to an over-reliance on intellectual intelligence and as a result many of the areas that require emotional navigation are largely left to chance, if they are even recognised as important at all. The outcome of this leads to soul-less workplaces, where people zone out because they feel unseen and disconnected from the aims of an organisation and these issues present real challenges in the field of leadership.  I have worked with all levels within an organisation and have found these to be underlying issues at Board level, in senior teams, in front-line teams, Trade Unions and professional teams.

I have also witnessed the effects of profound lack of meaning at work and the huge positive benefits that can be gained when senior teams seriously commit to creating significance and purpose for those who work within their organisation. When leaders take full responsibility for themselves and encourage others to do the same the effects can be transformational. This can be challenging territory but is the only route to creating cultures of trust in which high performance can flourish and personal and group potential can be released.

I now work much more with personal change and coach Directors and Heads of Department in areas of leadership where the territory is very much on the person they have become and how that impacts on their performance at work. I also deliver training into businesses. I established One Life 2 Live in 2008 to help people live lives of meaning, purpose and enjoyment and through this business I run personal development workshops for the public and provide coaching to individuals who wish to work on their own concerns. Much of my work is a synthesis of many years of reading and drawing on ancient Greek thought, classical literature, management and leadership thinkers, and the writings of psychologists and psychotherapists as well as my own professional and personal experiences and observations. I have also learnt from my own mistakes and achievements, both of which are teachers in their own way. I have been a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD for over seven years and worked in a senior capacity both in terms of HR and management for over a decade. I am a Certified Trainer of NLP, Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy(TM), having been trained by Drs Tad and Adriana James and I run certified training courses in all three fields. I have been coached for several years by Aboodi Shabi in the field of Ontological change and remain committed to my own ongoing development both as a means for personal growth and in order to best serve my clients. I work to integrate different fields of change including the more progressive areas of the body and emotions as domains for learning, and areas of energy management and archetypes. I am particularly influenced by the work of Carl Jung and Joseph Cambell.

Chartered Fellow of the CIPD
Member of the International Coach Federation
Certified Trainer of NLP, Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy(TM) with their respective American Boards
Certified Trainer of Coaches with the Coaching Division of the ABNLP.

Narina Riskowitz

NLP Trainer, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Member of the International Board of NLP, Timeline Therapy™ and Hypnotherapy, BA Psychology and Communications
Approach:
Taking an holistic approach in training, coaching and therapy, I assist clients to achieve emotional and mental well-being and grow and evolve spiritually. I utilise the latest thinking in achievement coaching and transformational therapies - Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy™ and Hypnotherapy - as a natural extension of my knowledge and experience in human communications and psychology. I recognise communication as key in creating a success mindset, positive self-talk and healthy relationships with friends, family and colleagues.

I most commonly work with clients who want to:
• Heal and release emotional issues
• Overcome phobias, fears and anxieties
• Overcome limiting beliefs
• Gain confidence & self-belief
• Develop healthy lifestyles; manage weight; stop addictive behaviour
• Gain the power to achieve goals
• Uncover their full potential and live the life of their dreams
• Uncover their life purpose and evolve spiritually.

I am particularly interested in assisting clients and delegates to get in touch with their unique purpose in life. As part of my Life Purpose Coaching, I use tools such as numerology to uncover unique talents and skills and in this way become inspired to live happy, meaningful and purposeful lives. Exploring the laws and nature of the universe and the creative process of the mind, we learn who we really are and what we can manifest and accomplish in this life.

My work includes:
Hypnotherapy
Timeline Therapy™
NLP Therapy
Reiki Treatments and Reiki Training
Life Purpose Coaching 
Personal Breakthrough Coaching
Personal Development Workshops
Spiritual Development Workshops

Testimonials

“People from all over the world attend our NLP Trainer Certification Trainings and we assess to the very highest of standards. Our training programmes are very intensive and, whilst all our certified trainers meet our stringent assessments, there are some that take on a bigger challenge. Andrea was one of those people, selecting to demonstrate one of the more complex NLP techniques at evaluation and one which happened to be a technique that had not been successfully implemented on any of our courses for over 10 years. Andrea delivered a superb demonstration which is testimony to her knowledge of NLP, her degree of precision in working with the techniques and her willingness to push the boundaries.”
