Rick Thorn, teaching and learning expert

My colleague Rick Thorn has been a friend and mentor to me and helped me understand how to turn my expertise into good learning programmes and has overseen the creation of our online programmes. Some of you may know him through his own Inspired Teaching on line learning programme or our live events together in London.

I am sorry to report that as of February 2007, Rick is seriously ill with cancer and is completely out of action for the foreseeable future.

Please hold him in your thoughts if you have a chance. Many thanks.

Niki Hignett - Internet marketing and technology consultancy

Niki Hignett has been the heart and brains behind the web and digital side of my business and has now bought all his experience and expertise into a consulting role. As well as a great knowledge of technology, the Internet and Internet marketing, most importantly Niki is a lovely man and is a joy to deal with. Together we have studied the Internet to see what works and doesn’t work, and how we share our expertise and experience with the widest possible audience. We have had a good degree of success and are sharing what we have learned about develop and marketing digital products to fellow authors, speakers, coaches and consultants. These will be available through the Inspirational Learning Company which we have formed together.

Niki’s years of expertise are now available to you in consultancy package enabling you to have a powerful intervention into your business and help you identify precisely how you can leverage what you know to a national and even global audience.

Niki will most be able to help you when:

· You have a feeling that you are not making the most of your experience and expertise but don’t know how to leverage them more effectively
· You feel there is untapped potential in your business that you don’t know how to unlock that potential
· You’d like to be able to package your ideas and expertise into products that you can then deliver to a greater and potentially global audience

What Niki can bring to bear on you and your business is:

· A brilliant mind – he is a brilliant software engineer and understand how you can create systems that work for you
· Understanding and experience – he has spent years intensely studying and understanding how you create visibility and attract clients on the Internet
· Humanness – he is also a people person, which is unusual for someone who has such technical knowledge. He will use language that you understand
· Heart – he has a good heart and wants to see you succeed and can show you how to do that and short cut the process for you

The “Jump Start” package Niki has created is like a laser focus for your business. He will devote three hours of his time, and bring his 10 years of expertise to bear on your business. He will look at clearly and objectively and be able to tell you:

1. What is working in your business and where you are not using your time and experience effectively
2. Identify the potential for turning your experience and expertise into information products that can be delivered digitally
3. Tell you where the greatest leverage points are for you – what you can do to maximise your income, fulfilment and still create more free time for yourself 
4. Give you a plan of action about where to invest your time, money and energy most effectively to grow your business
