What our students and clients say
Jeremy has a unique approach to bringing out the best in people. He certainly practices what he preaches! Jeremy is one of a handful of trainers/coaches/practitioners that I would, without any hesitation, recommend to others. He is knowledgeable, ethical and shows genuine passion for the work he does and how best to serve others.

I have had the pleasure of studying with Jeremy, and the NLP he has taught has had a wonderful impact on my personal and professional life. Jeremy explains NLP in an accessible, easy, manner and for me took away the fluff of the subject. The practical help on the courses and the smaller classes give you a personal learning environment, perfect for this subject. I highly recommend Jeremy for anyone interested in NLP.
– Donna de Villiers
I’ve undertaken three major trainings with Jeremy: NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and most recently NLP Sports Practitioner. I keep coming back because the training is thorough, ethical and ecological, and it’s academically recognized. As a career coach I work with people at all stages of their career, across levels and across a wide range of industries.
– Dave Cordle
Before doing the NLP course, I had felt I needed more coaching approaches and methodologies. The course gave me a lot of new techniques which I have used to help my coaching clients. Also I was launching my new coaching brand as I was doing the programme and looking back I can see it helped me to set big targets and reach them.
Mel Larsen
I found the course to be enlightening both personally and professionally. Jeremy’s experience of the corporate world allowed for a real life perspective to be taken and a focused view into NLP and its application in Business and coaching.
– Simon Fanning
I feel privileged to have discovered NLP, it has changed my life. Understanding communication, the impact of language and being able to change unwanted behaviours has been the difference that made the difference for me. Jeremy is so much more than an NLP Master Trainer. It is a powerful rewarding experience learning and evolving with Jeremy. I highly recommend studying with Jeremy, one of my best decisions.
– Dara Caryotis
Before the course, I was struggling which decision to make about my future- within 4 months of the course, I made a career plan and my business plan.
Myriam Ferreira
What I got from the training was much more than I ever imagined I would get from it, I was blown away by it. Jeremy’s professionalism and delivery of the training was second to none. .. I would highly encourage anyone to train with Jeremy at The Lazarus Consultancy because they will leave knowing NLP and having a mentor for life.
