Jacqui Tillyard's career has been varied and diverse. Starting as humble, shy and demure (yes I know that’s hard to believe!) Saturday girl at a hair salon, she has played many roles including:

• NLP Master Results Coach & Trainer
• Small Business Trainer
• Keynote Speaker
• Stress Consultant
• Business Advisor
• Coach & Trainer
• Author
• Business Network Organiser
• Holistic health care practitioner
• Interviewer
• Sales Manager
• Mystery Shopper
• Property Developer
• Network Marketeer
• Customer Service coordinator

After a scary ‘burn out’ from a high pressure sales career, Jacqui re-evaluated her life and decided to do what she loved instead of what she felt she had to! Shunning prescription drugs, she chose the holistic approach to recovery.

She trained as a holistic therapist and coach. Using her personal experiences she set up a practice helping 'career casualties' to overcome their work related stress issues. This began to fulfil a life long ambition to have a career where she helped other people.

The coaching and therapies partly met the ambition of helping others, but her husband said if only she could get paid for talking he could retire! – So for once, following his advice, Jacqui developed a new niche and became involved in running a number of business networking groups. These were aimed at helping local women in rural areas to get started in business, meet regularly and so feel less isolated.

She has co-written the ‘Grow Your Own Networks’ book with Jo Parfitt. She has undertaken, and enjoyed many speaking engagements. At long last her husband’s dream of her earning a living by talking is taking shape!

Jacqui is passionate about empowering people to realise their goals both in businesses and personal life. She specialises in coaching small businesses and those career casualites, who want to improve their situation, whether it's putting your current role into perspective, taking on a new job or starting a new business.

She has run several business network groups to enable local businesses to connect and gain confidence. Jacqui's skill comes to light when her clients begin to experience 'little light bulb' moments which allow them to make progress in life!

Along with being a fully qualified Stress Reduction Consultant, Jacqui is an NLP Master Results Coach and Trainer, Time Line Therapist ™, neurological repatterning coach and IBA Business Advisor. So if you want more success at work, home, in your health, starting in business or simply want to improve your communications skills, she’s the women to speak to!

She has also run a range of workshops on work / life balance, effective marketing, selling skills, negotiation skills, effective business networking, colour therapy and attracting your ideal life.

Jacqui is married and lives in rural Leicestershire with her husband Glen and young collie dog Misty. She originally hails from Birmingham, but prefers to live in country to city these days!
