Guest: Rebecca Bonnington

A mum of three, successful leadership coach, corporate trainer and now CEO and founder of Tricres, Rebecca has never stood still.

Her energy is infectious. Her sense of humour comes straight from the heart of Manchester (a rather opinionated city in the NW of England for those outside the UK) so there’s an edge to it.

She talks about building kick a** cultures in business and she’s created an online programme which trains other business coaches and consultants in the Tricres methodology. She’s been trained by Dr Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP and has been personally endorsed by him. Her style is direct, to the point and is delivered in a relaxed, accessible way.

Her favourite topics to talk about are culture, leadership, change, resilience, business and of course NLP.

Previous gigs have included: a key speaker at the Law Ambition Conference in London June 2024, key speaker at the Federation of Master Builders in Glasgow in June 2024, opening the talk for Wild Hearts in Action in London for their global conference, hosting the Scottish Legal Awards, speaker for Entrepreneurial Scotland, EWIF, IoD and more. She’s was interviewed by Alec Drew for Dublin 103 FM in November 2022.

Rebecca is the author of “How to Outshine the Rest” (available ). Rebecca has been personally recommended by Dr Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP as an NLP Trainer.
