The Trainers

David Pickard Wyllie

David has been at the vanguard of exceptional performance education since 1974, integrating human potential and business uncommon sense, with metaphysics, quantum physics to expand human consciousness. Helping his clients bridge the gap between possibility and reality and lead extraordinary lives.

Born in 1945 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa David spent his early years in a sub-economic housing estate and was faced with the challenges that came with having just one functional ear and a multitude of other learning disabilities. From a very young age he realised that life gives us two choices to succumb or overcome.

Alison von Ketelhodt

Alison brings a unique combination of academic, business and personal-development experience to the exploration of human potential. With a Master’s degree in Engineering, a Master’s in Energy Economics and an MBA, she has worked across both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds, giving her a practical understanding of the capabilities required to succeed in both environments.

Born in 1963 in Zambia, Alison has, for as long as she can remember, been fascinated by how the human experience works — how we think, what shapes our reality, why we are here, and what capabilities lie within us that we may not yet recognise or fully use.

Her lifelong curiosity has led her to explore the relationship between consciousness, human potential, personal leadership and the world around us. She is passionate about bringing together knowledge from science, business, personal development and the deeper dimensions of human experience, and sharing what she has learnt with others to help them discover and use more of their own potential.
