Head Trainer

Paul Boag

Paul Boag

Paul Boag possesses a wealth of unique experience, both as an international athlete and a soldier. 

Following seventeen years service in the armed forces, spanning countries such as Germany, Canada, Norway, Austria, America, and Northern Ireland, Paul was selected to take on the role of Chief Instructor, running a large outdoor activities lodge.  Since leaving the armed forces, Paul has focussed on performance coaching of elite athletes, as well as running his own adventure training company.

As a result of his NLP training, Paul has accomplished ground breaking changes, through a variety of arenas, ranging from post traumatic stress disorder, to the development of confidence in children, through to one-to-one coaching of elite athletes, improving their performance through NLP.

As a qualified ABNLP Trainer and qualified Master Practitioner of Timeline Therapy and Hypnosis, he holds an international teaching diploma with the Technische Universität München. 

Paul is living proof of the success that NLP can deliver.  His aim is to use his spectrum of skills now to help improve the performance of individuals and companies alike.  His drive is to facilitate the same effective changes in the lives of others, be it for business or personal reasons. NLP can help you to excel in developing your skills in management, leadership, sales and negotiation through to personal relationships and learning how to deal with difficult situations. NLP provides effective and lasting change in all areas of our lives.

Paul has developed the unique Veterans In Action Communication and Leadership Course and worked with Billy MacLeod and Bob Elliott to develop the ALIVE Program.
