Lindy Irving - Have a love affair with life

Tom Burke
In his dual capacity as a Royal Marines Commando and PSD/CPO team leader Tom has had the privilege to work with personnel from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, various British Army units, RAF Police and Mountain Rescue teams, US Army and US Marines, Canadian CIMIC teams, Polish Special Forces, French Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère) and with men and women from all over Tom Burke

the world in what have become known as Private Military Companies (PMC).

His fascination with what he refers to as the perception of fear grew after various lectures by his unarmed combat instructor in the Royal Marines Reserve. Later as a PSD team leader he developed inspirational pre-mission talks to instill confidence in his men before venturing into the chaos of a typical days adventure in Iraq. The "Perception of Fear" lecture was tweaked some years later to adapt to the corporate world as Tom presented for 15 minutes on a “Train the Trainer” assessment. One of the other delegates emailed Tom a few days after the course to say it had helped him take positive action in moving on from depression brought on by stress at work.

Inspired by this and already with decades of personal development research in everything from Astrology to Zen in his arsenal it seemed natural to then further explore the untapped resources of the unconscious mind with NLP and Hypnotherapy which led Tom to his real passion which is Storytelling and the use of metaphors in telling a story "for a change".
