Can't Read Can't Write



Superb series running on Channel 4 with the rebellious [and therefore successful] Phil Beadle, who you may remember from a previous series called The Unteachables teaching equally rebellious children how to learn. This time he's got 6 months to turn a group of adults around. And its working!


"Today in Britain, over five million adults have a reading age of 12 or less or, worse, cannot read at all. From dealing with bills, letters, helping with their children's homework, shopping, and finding work, this illiteracy blights nearly every aspect of their lives, especially their self-esteem. Ashamed and embarrassed, many keep the fact that they can't read a secret, sometimes even from their own family."


I love this series - watch as a 58 year old woman who's never read a book before reads one aloud to her mother just to prove how far she's come in such a short time. And the kinesthetic learner who just wasn't "getting it" until Phil made pipe-cleaner letters on the floor and she could get her hands onto them, thus building the neurological connections. Pure NLP at its best in the real world!


There is a quick and easy 20 question free dyslexia test on the website http://www.xtraordinarypeople.com/ but this is not a diagnostic test.


Inspires me to run my Accelerated Learning weekend again this year - what do you think? Maybe even Photoreading too. Would you be interested in being able to Read More, Learn More? Comments please.

Revealed: How To Get Everything You Want, & Change Anything You Don’t!


Tired of dragging around a painful past, or facing a dull looking future? GET out of your own way and meet the silent partner who's been running your life!

You can let go of past hurts, old hang-ups and bad habits that up until now you haven't been able to shake. And you can do it in September…

My name’s Jonathan Clark and I'd like to gift you a Profound Mind Technology with all of the answers to help you run your own head, reprogramme your habits and boost your self-confidence in a fun and easy way. Let me train you in HGE™

How? With my 10 day live seminar “Get Everything You Want, Change Anything You Don’t”.

There are lots of -ologies out there with no heart, that are too cold and "techniquey". They exclude people who want a more spiritual approach, are usually stuck in the 70's and haven't evolved much since then. They also tend to ignore the physical body, which is your foundation for everything else.

Instead, this 10 day course is the VERY LATEST personal development system that integrates every mind action approach you can think of, both mainstream and the esoteric, so you can change physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It even covers ALL of the NLP syllabus, and a lot more!.

You’ll get a complete training in Hypnosis for self and others, a complete training in Time Line Therapy, cutting edge emotional balance techniques and all of the surprisingly fast NLP tools for change. You'll be able to let go of any past pain or trauma in minutes not years, AND design your future the way you want it.

Finally, you'll be able to destroy problems and build new solutions, in yourself and anyone else. You'll be able to change dumb beliefs that hold you back, neutralise triggers that fire you off, and increase your motivation and confidence - all in 10 days!

How? Using simple self-relaxation exercises you'll have the key that unlocks the vault to your brain, dump the rubbish and replace them with healthier thoughts, more upbeat feelings and more useful habits.

“I have received everything I expected and a whole lot more. This has been a very emotional, fun and profound experience. If people are interested at all in growing and changing for the better, you have to start training with Jonathan!” – Liesha Ross, Firewalk Instructor

According to the Office of National Statistics, 1 in 6 adults between the ages of 16 and 74 years old have a neurotic disorder - a phobia, depression or anxiety. They also said these disorders affect women more than men. A lifetime of stress can eventually lead to physical illness and disease. Don't become another statistic…

If you could change just one thing about your feelings, beliefs or habits, what would you change?

Full Hypnosis training, Time Line Therapy and all of the NLP tools -- plus the pre-study materials on 31 CDs and a full colour 193 page, easy to read manual.

• 2 Certificates for the price of 1 – NLP and HGE™
• Full money back guarantee so your money is safe.
• Repeat the training as often as you want for only 10%
• Come back and assist me on future courses and I'll pay you.

Most people come for their own personal development. Others want to become therapists or coaches, and we can even show you how to get clients & fill your practice.

Live Phobia Cure On BBC Radio



On Friday the 11th of July I was a guest on BBC Radio Scotland's Fred MacAulay show. This was all arranged by a friend of a friend. We had a spider phobic called Martin, a tarantula called "Rosebud" and a spider handler called Clare... you can see where this is going.

Basically the challenge was could I "fix" the phobia on air in 30 minutes. The good news is I did, and the photos of Martin holding Rosebud are on my website below. The bad news is that it happened after the show in the green room!

You can listen to the replay at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cd5lz

You can see the webpage I'd already set up in advance at www.jonathanclark.org The big hairy spider pics are RIGHT at the bottom of the page [not for the feint hearted!]
