    More about Baz

    Barry has spent all of the time since he left school learning and as a consequence has picked up more ‘badges’ in coaching, facilitation, management development, psychology than a 50 year old boy scout on double espresso! Barry is an NLP, time line and hypnotherapy practitioner and a real ‘Rock Star’ when it comes to facilitation. His personality, enthusiasm and humour are both infectious and inspirational. He’s a capable Illustrator - especially cartoons – and is currently writing his first book; I guess we’ll all have fun joining the dots and colouring by numbers! Baz crams a serious amount of triathlon training into his hectic lifestyle and loves cooking and hosting his own unique and creative brand of dinner parties!

      Met Barry for the first time on Friday 3 July 2009 - what a great bloke he is. Made me feel very welcome at Zoom’s offices and obviously puts into practice what he teaches.
