"Peta thank you so  much for the playshop.  This is what I got from the weekend:
- shutting up the self conversation in my head.
- importance of longer eye contact.  I really noticed the eye contact/interest I had with woman on the way home
- reading signals for space and how small they can be (I've always been looking for big things).
- Being in the now/body so the observations can be taken in 
- How I am when I'm being at my best" SN male

Last week, finding myself bored, I decided to go to a club by myself. 
Normally, I wouldn't *dream* of doing such a thing, and even if I did, I'd 
lurk in the background feeling very out of place. However I remembered parts 
of your course: the re-programming, the feeling good about myself - And, 
completely sober, introduced myself to some people!

Wow! This is something I'd never have done if it wasn't for your playshop.

And the really great thing was, when I was rejected... And sure, it did 
happen... I was happy with that. The talk on Speed Seduction really did help 
when it talked about putting things in a different frame, and how when 
talking to people I'm seeing if they're good enough for me - not trying to 
make them like me. The point being, when I was rejected, I didn't take it 
personally. It was just a feeling of, "Oh, well, sorry to have bothered 
you..." And then I moved on to meet the next exciting person!

I think, basically, I just wanted to say: Thank you - What you're doing is 
wonderful. I've seen the effect at work and my friends have commented that I 
seem a lot happier. My only complaint is, where on Earth were you ten years 
ago? As a teenager I really could have done with your guidance!

Peta, what can I say ???????????

I have done business, management and god knows how many courses, but none quite like yours !.

Your course got a good write up in Men's Health magazine;  your course is run in a nice part of London; I have not been to London for a while.  'Let's go have a look' I thought. Plan was if the course is full of nerds to skip the second day as I still have not bought a single present yet for Christmas.

Some off your exercises, for want of a better description, made me feel like it's time to leave.   I thought several times "I am not doing that, I would look a fool or be showing weakness/vulnerability."

Well all I can say is that your course was an emotional roller coaster ride for me, I did not show it but it was. I can quite honestly say I have never done anything like it before.  

It was enlightening/refreshing and a bloody good laugh at times, what flirting is all about. Did not tell any of my friends I was going on a flirting course and was amazed to hear that other  people had told their friends. Now I would have no hesitation telling someone to go on one of your courses. 

My brain is still processing information from the week-end flashing back to certain scenarios, making me smile or feel apprehension, a good apprehension though.

The people turned out to be great all shapes, sizes, looks, opinions and backgrounds. I learnt a lot from you, your facilitators, ladies on the course and , what amazed me, I learnt a lot from the men too. Some of the things the men said at the front of the group made me cringe, but with hind sight they were showing another side to bravery I have never really seen.

It is only left for me to say Thanks !, it was two days that I shall think about for a long time.

I will endeavour to always leave some one better off for having met me, in this world our play ground.

Keep the good work up Peta

From Caroline a participant on the Dec 8/9 2001 Flirting weekend

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for a wonderful weekend. I learnt a lot and have come away with an excited sense of anticipation of the fun that I'm going to be having now I understand more about the art of flirting. The big insight for me was the 'eye contact/smile' thing - so obvious but I'd never got it.

From Paul Barnett a male participant on the Dec 4th and 5th 1999 Flirting Weekend


You are a wonderful teacher and made the course interesting, fun and relaxed. I have been skeptical about things like this in the past , but now I am a convert.

I must tell you about how I feel a difference in myself. 
I felt good about myself when I left last night, but this morning I felt as though I was walking tall and above the clouds. I can't explain what it was , but as I walked to work, I felt very good about myself and the world around me. 

At times I tended to look straight down at the pavement when I walk and indeed when people approached from the distance. However,  today I just looked straight ahead and felt completely relaxed and at ease and even at peace with myself. On the train I practised some of the breathing and shoulder exercises as I looked out of the window and read  newspaper. 

Another thing I noticed is that I don't feel threatened by people around me. There are times, especially during the early morning rush hour on the tubes in London where people push and shove and I have to admit being irritated by this at times. This morning I felt relaxed and had a smile on my face as I thought, well, what's the point in being angry? 

I also felt that if someone pushed or shoved me at some stage I would not get angry and feel that that is their problem. I did feel the need to say good morning to people around me on the tube platform at Charing X, but could not quite do it right now. I kept a happy feeling and smile while I sat through the journey  and looked straight ahead and not at the floor.

Because I felt so good about myself I was in a happy talkative mood when I got in the office and greeted a person I had never spoken to in my life.

It's strange because I find it hard to understand why we can't all be happy , courteous , smile and greet each other on the street, tube or wherever we are. I always thought it odd that Americans did this, but now I can fully understand it. Now, I think it says a lot about a person if they can't respond to a friendly person.

I also think with regards to work that I sometimes found it hard to look people in the eye, but now I can easily and feel as though I have some kind of power now and can somehow force their aggressive attitudes back at them if necessary, just by harnessing some of the energy you taught us to believe in. 

I could go on and on , but basically I have to say that I feel like a new person. The experiences of others were very enjoyable also and we had a great evening. Next Sunday I aim to interact more with the group.[Peta's note:  there is a social get together in London for all previous participants contact Paul Thomas on 07931 768 699 for details]  I believe we all learnt things which many others may think they have already but actually do not.

The voice teacher (Lyn Sowden) also helped me greatly and gave me a lot of encouragement and useful advice with regard to what I was doing right and wrong. I would be more than willing to help and encourage future students and explain my own experiences.  Mail Paul if you want to ask him about the course

This course was one journey I think was money well spent. I think I may build on this and try some of the other courses on the handout at some stage.

Once again, thanks for a fantastic course."

From Sarah C, a participant on the 4th and 5th December weekend

"As I'm sure you know, what you teach is actually Life skills...the flirting is an added bonus!! If everyone was to benefit from the advice and support you give then it
would be difficult to imagine a world with war, pain and hurt....

As I'm writing, I know that this might sound over the top, and
actually not like me at all, but I have been enlightened this
weekend...really stopped in my tracks...and I feel great!! In fact, it's been a very long time since I have felt so good and I really thank you for that.

Onwards and upwards, as they say! 

I really can't thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to have such a unique and fantastic experience and to witness so many people truly at their best - it was inspirational."
 

"I've just come back from a great weekend in Amsterdam helping out my
friend  Peta Heskell with her Flirting Workshop.


Peta's approach shys away from teaching technique (say this line, do this action, etc) and instead moves towards providing you with the opportunity to  experience being who you need to be in order to be the kind of guy who can genuinely feel good around other people and help them to feel good around you.

When you are naturally being you at your best, then other people find this
infectious and pickup on the good vibes you give off at your best. If you've ever experienced one of those days or nights where everything goes right, where you are feeling good, where you are on a roll, where you are feeling  the flow, where everything happens the way you want it to, then maybe you  know what it's like to be you at your best.

Now, can you imagine how different approaching a woman would be if you were able
to  access that kind of feeling before you started?

Or, what if the concept of approaching a woman  just didn't exist for you anymore
because  talking to women in public was something you did all the time, without
even thinking about it?

Of course, Peta's workshops won't be for everyone. I think it takes a special kind of person to realise that the changes they need to make come  from deep inside themselves, rather than something that learning a couple of  patterns from a book is going to solve. 

But then, that's the kind of person who is going to go on one of Peta's courses and be open to receiving the help they need. And not just from the course itself, but from all the people around it, and indeed, in all of their lives.

As I said, I had a great weekend in Amsterdam. The Dutch are so friendly and  almost all speak perfect English. Had some great adventures, strutting my stuff at Soul Kitchen and meeting cool DJ Herwin and going to his bar on the spur of the moment after meeting in the kebab shop late at night. Amazingly, when I told him why I was in Amsterdam he replied 'I know her - she's that lady on the TV'.   

Have fun,  Adrian "
