What are you really being told One of the most frustrating things in the world is when people don’t hear you, they don’t listen, your just not getting through. And we get really wound up by it, that they are just not paying attention. It is an interesting thing, and its been bothering me for a couple of days. Then a thought came into my head. Our cat was very ill, really, really ill, and I just knew her was ill, but I didn’t now how I knew he was ill. Someone said, but they can't talk to you. They...

Often Ollie Coaches don't know the full extent of the difference they may have made for someone but...
Review of Anna Kennedy interview - Talking all things Autism
I just had to share this with you as I received this privately after my recent interivew with Anna Kennedy on Womans Radio. This means a lot to me as the lady who wrote this is fighting hard for her kids to be treated fairly, and its not always easy to keep that going when you are also having to deal with unforeseen health issues. Honestly I can't thank you enough for how much you've helped and changed my life. I also love the point you made about not having to change the model to fit our kids because that's...
Anna Kennedy talking all things Autism
Ali meet Anna Kennedy from AnnaKennedyonline to talk about All Things AutismParent training programme - Ollie and his Super Powers
Parent Coffee Morning It really was such a short time ago that the whole Ollie concept was a flicker of an idea in my mind. I remember the first few clients I tried the concept with, and then the first school that let us in, then the first council and then adoption agency, and …. I remember opening our Ollie School to train our own specialist Coaches. Its all happened so fast, because the model works and is changing people’s life’s. Keeping up with the ideas Ollie puts in my head is exhausting, we have one to one coaches, teacher...
World Book day - dress up as Ollie

It doesn't matter what you background is, but you have to have a passion for helping young and old be all they can be.Boxes - why do we put people into boxes with labels
Have I mentioned I don't like boxes! By labelling someone dyslexic, Angry, autistic etc we are putting them in a box. A box that means they are all treated the same & that they can live up to the label. Not all people are the same & therefore should they be labelled as such? Should they be put into that box?Ollie and his Super Powers - What a Difference !! The Difference ?
What a difference a person, a book and an opportunity makes. Found out how a little girl learnt to manage her emotions rather than be controlled by them by reading the Ollie and his Super Powers book. The Difference!Ollie's Christmas story - Ollie Christmas Carol

Starting your own business If you have ever tried to raise the Titanic single handed with no heavy or specialised kit. Then you will know what it is like starting a business.

Every now and again the boat rises just a tad and it refuels your belief to keep going. Occasionally a big commercial outfit comes along with the answers to your preys but at the cost of your dream, so painfully you...

Another wonderful weekend of training new Ollie CoachesInterview with Patti Boulaye
Ali on telly Ali was extremely excited about the opportunity to chat with Patti Boulaye on Patti's chat show LIFE. But Nervous was playing up, taking control of Ali's ship. He got bigger and bigger, getting a bit out of control as he made Ali get hot and sweaty and generally feel sick. He also encouraged Grouchy to come out to play with Ali becoming very short tempered. But all behaviour serves a purpose. Nervous only wanted Ali to be prepared for her interview with Patti. Nervous made her aware that she had to think about what she was going to say, what she...

Reality Tunnels Talking about Reality Tunnels to 16 & 17 year olds today in Totnes, Devon at the Big Think event organised by Rachel and team from Thoughtbox.

Rapport, building the relationship that works for you
Building the Relationship I have been speaking a lot about rapport and how building the relationship between you and your client is absolutely key in the work we do as an Ollie Coaches.

Oakfield House School meets Ollie
Oakfield House School What an amazing experience being invited into one of the top schools in the country and watching the amazing work they do with children that have been through some of the worst early years you could imagine! These kids don’t know love or trust, but the staff work so hard to show them both and help them begin to believe that the worlds they have come from are not the world they could have and so deserve. I must have gone through every emotion and found myself completely exhausted by the realisation of the enormous job that...
Kent Early Intervention - Ollie Model training workshop
Kent Early Intervention The ladies and gents in the front lines for us at Kent’s Early Help teams are what I would call earth angels! Ollie Model training day We did a day workshop with them on the Ollie Model and the day was very informative for me and them.

As I began my talk I sensed the thought in the room...

It’s all about being a Blue Water Dragon!!!
I love working in schools! Our coaches work with 5 year old's to 105 year old's! This week, in one of my schools, I had the joy of really showing the power of Ollie. A little chap, five years old using words like possession, elementals, with monsters taking over him and being very violent. He had undergone all types of assessment and was being looked at for everything from multiple personality disorder to schizophrenia….. I was asked to meet him. Yes, those words coming from a five year old are chilling and Ollie Coaches don’t diagnose but what we do...
There are no Bad Kids!
There are no Bad kids!! Aren’t children fascinating? They might not be able to spell or add up, they might not know stuff we think important like manners and socially acceptable behaviour but from their first breath they are the greatest manipulators on our planet! A small baby is not smiling at you because it likes you. It probably doesn't know what its looking at but it smiles because then you hug it, love it, and protect it! Clever! A young child knows instinctively how to pull your strings to get what it needs: your love and attention. So clever....
