Nicola
Walker Catalyst are pleased to be able to offer a wide range of courses
and learning formerly offered by the NSG. Many years ago, Nicola helped
design the Harassment and Bullying Investigation and Contact Officer
training offered by the NSG and co-designed and delivered, on an
associate basis, many of the communication skills, presentation skills,
managing people and team-building interventions. Whilst we mourn the
demise of this once cutting-edge organisation, we are pleased to be
able to deliver high quality, flexible, and value for money
interventions to all public bodies, agencies and government departments.

Spontaneous Remission?
Ever
noticed how the body has an amazing capbility of healing itself? When
you cut yourself, it scabs over and eventually forms new skin. When a
bone breaks it can mend itself. These are just two small examples of
our amazing capacity to heal. Debbie Williams has recorded a
CD/download that she is distributing as a free gift called Spontaneous
Remission that links in to our own healing. I've listened to it, and
found it entrancing. She says:
"I've put my 'Spontaneous Remission from any Disease in Mind and Body as a free
download which can help relieve stress as well as helping people at real times
of need, especially if they've been diagnosed with a disease, or suffered some
kind of trauma.
It doesn't claim to cure but uses NLP and Hypnosis to
plant suggestions in mind of the possibility of a miracle occurring as well as
lifting the weight of worries in mind as they learn how to relax.

organisations/people whom it could benefit please pass it on.
I've had
some fantastic feedback including someone reversing diabetes taking their blood
sugar from 19.7 to 6.3 in a month plus on the home page link is a video
testimonial which talks about a chap coming out of a coma after 55 days when
supposedly brain damaged and the Drs wanting to switch the life support of
within the first week, he never suffered from phantom limb pain either despite
losing both legs."

Healing Fears Without Tears
Nicola
is going to be speaking at the Bath Tapping Summit on Friday 18th
February 2011, tapping into her experience on curing phobias, fears and
overcoming barriers to living the life you want with tapping. Thought
Field Therapy (TFT) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) are two forms
of therapeutic self-help where people are guided to tap their own
bodies in specific places to release energy blockages without
acupuncture needles. Might sound a little strange but the results are
truly amazing and well worth having a go. Bath Tapping
Summit, Little Theatre Cinema, Bath 18/2/11 9am-1pm. Discount for public bodies - our January Sale Due
to the current economic situation and tightening of public purse
strings, Catalyst will be continuing to support public bodies and
government departments by providing training and coaching at a 25%
reduction from the current fees until April 2011. Please call for details - 07989 404112.

Stress relief in troubling times for oil and gas industry An
oil and gas company's London HQ appreciated some stress relief recently
when Nicola came along to give some stress awareness sessions.
Troubling times for the industry as a whole has made tackling this
particular health & safety issue a necessity. Nicola designed some
three hour sessions that everybody could attend to discuss stress
related issues and find new coping and relief mechanisms, including a
chillout time that left them relaxed and raring to get back to work!
June 2010 Overcoming depression to regain confidence Clinical
depression can take months even years to overcome using conventional
medicine and therapies. However, lifting depression can be done without
months of counselling and re-living what made you feel bad in the first
place! Using a mixture of NLP, EFT and behavioural and cognitive
techniques, Nicola has helped to put one client back on track. Starting
with simple symptoms such as an inability to deal with the kind of
high end shop assistants that make this Saudi businessman's London
shopping experience hellish, Nicola was able to show that in 'curing'
one thing the possibilities for change and happiness were boundless.
They went on to tackle the underlying causes and retrain the mind so he
can once again feel confident and achieve what he really wants.
August 2009 It's all Greek to me! Nicola crossed Europe to help woman overcome her fear of
driving. Although she had passed her test years ago, the woman
feared driving a car over the rough Greek island roads and had stopped
driving altogether for several years. A few minutes work with Nicola
meant that she was now able to take to the wheel. July 2009 New CD available now Relax & Feel Good
is the latest release from Nicola Walker. To reach more people than she
can actually see personally, Nicola decided to release a guided
relaxation and
visualisation to help people really start to relax their bodies and
minds and feel happy and confident in the past, present and
future. "Amazing" said Spencer Westwood "I feel fantastic after experiencing that. What a tonic! You're good. Really good."" Available in CD or download formats. Buy now from our products page. June 2009 Curing phobias en masse This
weekend saw a mass phobia curing event in London. Over 140 people left
behind phobias and reduced their fears with the help of Dr Richard
Bandler and his team of associates. Nicola worked with live snakes and
tarantula spiders to test that people really had got rid of their
phobias. Other phobias cured that day included a fear of electricity
pylons that had previously left a person vomiting and passing out with
fear, claustrophobia which vanished and was tested by climbing into a
dark packing case, fears of heights, water, buttons, illness...you name
it, it was probably there before it was gone! For help on an individual
basis call Nicola now on 07989 404112. May 2009 Changing Lives in just 3 days! Working
with Dr Richard Bandler (creator of NLP), Paul McKenna and Michael
O'Neill last weekend, Nicola helped change the lives of over 400
people. Based on the premis of reprogramming the brain through changing
people's internal representations, physiology and states, the team used
various techniques from swish patterns to timelines and reduced the
effect of fears and anxieties to enable people to make new choices in
their lives. "Everyone left the event looking happier, younger and more
determined to make the changes they want." Nicola said afterwards. For
help in making the life you want now call Nicola on 07989 404112. May 2009 Cure for fear of walking across bridges over water ... Strange
but true - at January's Harassment Adviser training event in Cheshire a
police officer overcame her fear of walking over water! A simple round
of tapping on acupressure points taking about 5 minutes, saw Lisa turn
from being overwhelmed just thinking about crossing bridges over water
to actually being able to do it! See more on our client feedback page. February 2009 Nicola wins contract to train Cheshire Police Cheshire Police will be enjoying Harassment Adviser training courtesy of Nicola Walker & Associates in the New Year. November 2008 Mid Devon District Council share investment to train Internal Investigators and Harassment Advisers Mid
Devon have taken a great step forward in setting up their new
Harassment Adviser network and having Nicola train them and their
internal investigators to combat harassment and bullying in the
workplace. Nicola said this week that Mid Devon had "shown
everyone a new way forward in these times of fiscal hardship by
inviting other councils/agencies to share costs in providing this
essential training." October 2008 VOSA update their Harassment Contact Officer Network The
Vehicle & Operator Services Agency have updated their HCO network
with a one day training event in Diversity & the Law, two days
training new Contact Officers and a further day on mediation skills for
HCOs from Nicola Walker. "The fact that VOSA do not have a large number
of complaints shows their proactive stance in combating harassment even
before it arises or gets too serious makes good business sense." said
Nicola. August 2008 Investigation underway This
week, a delayed investigation into a complaint and counter-complaint of
harassment and bullying finally gets underway for a national body.
"Delays to such an extent, have a detrimental effect on the memories
and testimony of not only witnesses, but the parties themselves have
often become entrenched in their own stories having rehearsed them so
often" reports Nicola. All her skills will be needed in searching
for the evidence. November 2007 Coaching Success Government Office has another more relaxed and
confident staff member after 4 coaching sessions proved enough to
banish claustrophobia, fear of public speaking and inability to make

person and now an asset to the team".
