About Adam Smith:

From depressed and suicidal to the happiest and fittest he’s ever been, Adam’s self-development journey hasn’t been easy but it has been worth it. Today, he is a  qualified in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and a certified Time Line Therapist®.

He has coached hundreds of high performers, CEOs, celebrities, and athletes including Team GB, using NLP to rewire their thoughts and behaviours so they can destroy limiting beliefs and engineer the change needed to excel.

He was working in hospitality, drinking in excess, and hoping to find happiness at the bottom of a bottle - of course, he did not.

After a failed relationship, losing a job, and drinking too much, he hit rock bottom and wanted to end his life. After only what I can call a blessing, he was interrupted by a call from my Mum, and everything changed.

He transformed his mental and physical health by starting small and gaining momentum.
