Who We Are
- Corporate Trainers – helping people and teams sell, manage and work more effectively
- A charity, helping those in dysfunctional living situations
Success NI Corporate Training
In all areas of business there are managers afraid to manage, salespeople afraid to sell and negotiators afraid to negotiate.
Many people are not getting the development opportunities and experiences that they really need to be either personally or professionally successful. At Success NI, we teach those skills.
Our Charity Work
Our corporate training work funds our programmes for young people who are living in difficult and unhappy situations, not achieving any of their true potential.
We also help those who are suffering mental ill health, domestic abuse and other limiting and dysfunctional living situations.
For fifteen years Paul developed and led a highly successful Corporate Treasury team in Ulster Bank, at the Waring St and Linenhall St offices in Belfast.
Starting from a very small base he grew this business until it had market share in Northern Ireland of some 38% (circa 1997). His selling skills were key ingredients in achieving that success.
Paul left Ulster Bank 9 years ago to establish himself as a training consultant. Paul operates in the private, public and voluntary sectors.
Paul holds a Certificate in Management and is a licensed Practitioner and Master Practitioner of NLP as well as a licensed trainer of NLP.
Two years ago he established The Success Foundation NI, a charity that helps individuals, especially young people, overcome limiting beliefs and detrimemtal behaviour. NLP features heavily but not exclusively in the syllabus.
This charity is funded by the corporate training work done by Success NI.
Our Story
In my work as a corporate dealer I got to speak to many, many businesses. I became intrigued by the idea that businesses in Northern Ireland, large and small, were importing and exporting all over the world. Yet none of this success was reported on the news. It was like some big secret.
I became fascinated with success thinking. And I also noticed that in our culture “success thinking” is considered to be some kind of American nonsense, something that was not in our nature here in Northern Ireland.
Yet, it’s there. People from here have done extremely well and in many areas of life.
It was abundantly clear to me that many of the things we need to be successful are not taught in our schools. Nor are they taught in our businesses and organisations – it’s all a matter of chance.
It was then that I thought of putting the three ideas above together.
What if there were somewhere you could learn how to think positively, successfully? What if you could learn how to sell, negotiate, persuade and manage conflict? What if confidence and self esteem were clearly and explicitly on the syllabus?
A private business with a helping focus
Success NI is a not for profit organisation – everything we earn goes towards funding our premises and our programmes for those who cannot afford them themselves.
We look forward to working with you and helping others change so that they can be happier, more fulfilled, more effective and more successful, in whatever sphere that is.
