"Derek is one of the best coaches out there in the crowded field of business communication & NLP.
I attended one of his workshops recently and he managed to get across a lot of key points clearly and passionately. There were tangible benefits which I have been able to practice since. I would highly recommend him to my peers and clients."
Tom Barnadiston
"Derek has always been a creative thinker. Always intriguing and entertaining he has an uncanny ability to make you feel involved. An hour with Derek will change your thought process and undoubtably improve your skills in the communication areas he specialises in.
Graeme Currie
"Just when you think you have people sussed out, Derek throws a whole new dimension on how we think about, act and communicate with others. We were fortunate to have several sessions with Derek and it really helped us understand the art of communication and how we can better use time with others."
Andrew Spence
"I have known Derek for more than a decade and have always been impressed with his understanding of what I need to support my business, and perhaps even more importantly what I didn’t need. I now understand a bit more of the how as well as the why."
Chris Sutton
"If you want better results from your pitching, sales and business communications - working with Derek is a must. Not only does he know his stuff (in depth), but he walks his talk too. A great communicator in one-to-one consultancy, but also a fantastic speaker on stage. Highly recommended."
Philip Calvert
“There aren’t many people in the world like Derek Borthwick. Not only is he very engaging, he has the substance to back that up. I would have no hesitation in making a recommendation to work with Derek.”
