Shalaine’s Story
Hello
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. I would just like to say a huge thank you to yourself for being so kind to help me and Shalaine after you read our story in the paper. What a difference you have made in helping us, now Shalaine has more confidence in herself and she has really excelled so much that the bullies have totally backed off.
I used to wonder every time she went to school what injury she was going to come home with and what the school were going to do about it, but now Shalaine comes home from school happy and excited to tell me what she has learned. The most amazing thing that has happened was that Shalaine stood up for herself to one of the bullies that the girl actually apologised to Shalaine and she now says ‘hiya’ to her in passing, thank you again and I hope you excel at the great work you are doing.

James’s Story

Hello Mark
Sorry we haven’t been in touch. James has been saying he is going to email you and let you know how it is going.
Well, the day you left we had a chat with James and he seemed very positive. That very evening though, he was on the internet and he discovered that one of the bullies was going to beat him up because someone had said James was coming on to his girlfriend. Despite trying to explain someone was setting him up he went into a panic and was crying and refusing to go to school and nothing we said seemed to have any effect.
Anyway, despite the bad start we tried to explain to him even though he had two days of help from yourself nobody expects him to be a different person over night and not to expect too much too soon. Within a few days (and I mean 3 days) nothing phased him and he’s a different person. He can’t wait to go to school to see what they want to try next. It appears most of them have lost interest. James is enjoying the response that he gets from the bullies when they see he is not bothered by their attempts to intimidate him.
He sent me a text on the way to school the other day and said he was walking to the bus stop with a silly grin on his face and he felt so happy that he wanted to dance around the lamp post. I’m glad he didn’t – people will think he’s mad!!!
We have got the old James back now – thanks to you. Let us know when we can leave feedback on your web site – it will be glowing feedback!!!!
I will ask James to send you an email tonight so you can hear it from him.
Thanks again Mark – you’re a saviour.

Hi Mark
Its James, I’m sorry I haven’t emailed you I just felt I wanted to give it a while to work and test things out. Let me start off by saying how happy I am now in school. I wake up in the mornings and look forward to going to school, I find myself walking down the street or just anywhere with a big smile on my face for no apparent reason and it feels great.
I see the usual culprits in school and they haven’t changed a bit, the only thing that has changed is they seem to be taking it up a level which is fine by me because I walk past them now with a big smile on my face and to be perfectly honest its getting a bit boring now. It’s very sad on their part, I’m the one walking around the school with a big smile on my face and friends who truly like me for the person who I am and not because I go around scaring people into being my friend and that is what they are doing so in my eyes they are the ones who need help.
I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me, before this I felt as if there was no hope and the remainder of my school life was going to be a misery but thanks to you and the tools you have given me that is no longer the case. I also feel I will be able to use this in the future and prevent anything like this from starting again. I am also interested in doing a similar job like you and I would very much like to go down that road and am doing some research into it at the moment.”

Janet’s Story
Hi Mark
Results are good! The bullying has completely stopped! I can’t believe what a difference this has made. Samantha still wants to move class but the girls are leaving her completely alone. The skills you have taught her will be so useful to her throughout her entire life. Thank you so much!

Debbie’s Story
Dear Mark,
I feel brilliant! My boss has completely changed his attitude towards me. Instead of all the intimidation and threats he now asks politely when he wants me to do something. He even asked my advice on what work he should give me! I can’t believe the difference. I only wish I had done this 2 years ago. Thanks Mark, if it wasn’t for you I would have had to leave my job. I don’t know what I would have done.

We really cannot thank you enough for changing our lonely unhappy son back to the happy boy he always was. Our house is such a happy one again now and I feel I am sleeping better knowing he is enjoying going to school and looking forward to his G.C.S.E.s without any worries from those bullies.
We hope your business is really successful. It was the best money we have ever spent. Take care and we will be in touch.
A very grateful
