I heard someone say last week that in our hectic world where the rate of change is ever-increasing, today is the slowest rate of change you will ever experience for the rest of your life! An interesting if scary thought. But how do you cope in such an environment, whether in your business or personal life? It is in this context that the purposeful mindfulness expressed by Willie Horton becomes highly relevant and applicable. I have worked with Willie over the last three years both in groups and individually. He has an exceptionally well developed ability to put into context the specific set of circumstances you find yourself in and has the coaching skills necessary to formulate in a clear and concise manner, how you can apply purposeful mindfulness to achieve the goals you set yourself. It is clear from his style of delivery that he has worked in and understands real business environments where what should be done and what is done don’t always match. While knowing Willie I have met numerous people who have seen value in working with him on several occasions over a period of time to deepen their understanding of purposeful mindfulness and how best to apply it for true success.

Through my engagement with Willie I have learned to look at life and its challenges from a much broader perspective. He has given me the insight and direction from which I can choose to change my life path as I see fit and commit to. I believe the challenge is great and the rewards will be even greater for all those I love.

Willie's workshop has enabled me to see all the possibilities that I have in life and to go after those possibilities knowing I will be successful without any doubt in my mind whatsoever. Once this realisation sinks in, everything becomes so easy and totally fulfilling. I couldn't recommend this course strongly enough...you just need an open mind and the world is truly your oyster.
Gabielle Coultry - Management Consultant
By helping me see that everything I needed for a successful life was already within me, Willie Horton gave me the power to make every trouble seem trivial, realise the waste of worry and live life where it was intended to be enjoyed - very much in the present - now.
Trevor Hunt - Brand Manager - Diageo
I found Willie’s workshop and book to be really different to anything I had experienced previously. Willie’s style is easy going yet is thought provoking. If you are prepared to go with Willie on the journey that he brings you on you will be challenged in a positive manner in both your professional and personal life.

My three days of workshops with Willie Horton have had a disproportional impact on my effectiveness at work, compared to all other training and personal development courses I have engaged in. Highly recommended.
John Crowley - Managing Director - Pinnacle Project Partners
Simply put ...'I went; I listened; and I believe!' Truthfully it was without doubt the best two days I have ever spent in a room. I suppose I am a pessimist by nature; however'I now shave with my left hand, at least once a week!' and it definitely keeps me focused on what is important to me!' I truthfully have not looked back since that two day work shop and everyday, without thinking about it within the 24 hrs I find myself reflecting on some part of what you said, which immediately gives me a reality check and points me in the direction I need to go... even my little girl talks about 'the now' ! Again many thanks for unlocking a part of me that I never knew existed! ...Life is good!!!
John Clifton - General Manager - Burlington Hotel
Over the past few years I have learned a lot about the working of the universe and how our minds are tuned into it however I had a lot of unanswered questions. Having sat with you for the two days I marvelled at the simplicity of how you managed to answer so many of these questions without me even having to ask, it just unfolded. Now that I am armed with you book and CD I find that, with practice, I am progressing more and more towards “living in the now”. This has been somewhat of a challenge for me as my life has nearly always been about the destination rather than the journey. Having reached this stage by following your method I find I am much more relaxed, less busy rushing around and totally prepared to let my future unfold without worrying about what will happen. In fact the practice of living in the now has helped me to recognise the changes I needed to make and to some extent given me the courage to implement them. I hope this summary is meaningful to you and others who may read it, in the same way your course was very meaningful to me. For me your course was very helpful and moved me in a direction that I needed to move, however worrying was holding me back… but not any more. It is my intention to continue along this path, one day at a time, and watch my goals unfold as a result. Keep up the good work. Thanks for everything.
Michael Herbert - Chief Executive - Windsor Motor Group
The course made me realise that the 'normal' approaches to business and life are not necessarily the right ones. Going back to your college frame of mind, not worrying when you can take action and not worrying when it's beyond your control frees you up to get on with work and life.
Lynn Malone - Brand Manager - Diageo
I have just completed your online workshop, and wanted to drop you a note to say how interesting and useful I found it. What you have put together for use over the web is excellent and I am really impressed by the format and scope. Loved your use of humour as well, there is nothing worse than people taking themselves or life too seriously! Great tools which I will continue to use everyday, thank you.
Emma Graham - Image and Lifestyle Consultant
Thanks Willie. The feedback from the day was extremely positive - I was pleasantly surprised at everyone's openness and receptiveness to "going off the beaten track" as you say. It was as if we were opening up a part of ourselves we know is there but don't get a chance or dare to indulge. So, whatever happens, I think the day will have been of value. Thanks very much for your work with us.

I attended your Dublin Chamber event on Tuesday & bought your book about a month prior. May I just say that you have changed my life forever, I’m starting to take control and doing ‘nothing’ is being very productive for me.
