ACCELERATED SKI LEARNING™ - Course Coaches.

You will find we work as "the guide by your side" rather than as "the sage on the stage" – we do not pontificate and "instruct" you. We work closely with you as an individual as you discover for yourself just how much you really can do, and as you find that you really can attain your goals.

Bob Valentine Trueman DMS; Dip NLP; Development Coach

For many years Bob worked as an Alpine Instructor before moving up to become an IVSI qualified Alpine Development Coach, and Instructor Trainer. He holds a diploma in Neuro Linguistic Programming, lectures on Mental Game Planning, and is totally committed to the precepts of Accelerated Learning and Coaching. Bob's study and understanding of these and other learning, training and coaching issues enable him to re-pack elements from all of the strands, plus sport psychology, to create ACCELERATED SKI LEARNING™ as a process that works.

The key is to keep it simple. By doing so ASL™; can help unpack a lot of old baggage, and repack it with new understandings and a step-by-step learning process, in order to build on previous strengths and create new behaviours that achieve new and better outcomes. Bob runs many special skiing courses in Europe and America each year for recreational skiers, and instructors.

Bob has been a company director for over thirty years both in companies he has created and run, and in the companies of others. His specialism has been communication, through marketing, as an advertising copywriter, speech writer, and former chairman of the BBC's Business Question Time series. He also supplies coaching consultancy to industrial and commercial companies.

Bob's mountain career started at age 11, walking. He took up rock-climbing at 14 and added Alpine mountaineering at age 18. He climbed various alpine peaks including Mont Blanc by the Aiguille Noire de Peuterey route, and was lead climber on the 1962 Dead Sea Scrolls Expedition to Jordan.
