The Strong Minds Team
Jonny Wootton (MA, Cert Ed, D.Hyp, Cert DBT)
Motivational Speaker and Director of Training
Jonny began coaching 30 years ago when he was just 19 years old. By his own admission, not good enough to be a professional athlete, the next best choice was to help people be the best possible versions of themselves.
He has personally worked with athletes that have represented Great Britain at the Olympic Games, and other professional sports people (Premier League Football, Professional Golf and Rugby League). He also has considerable experience (12 years) as a psychotherapist/hypnotherapist and lecturer/ trainer.
Selette MacNerland (BSc Psychology)
Relationship Director
Chicago-based Selette, a graduate in psychology with PhD credits, heads up SMI operations in the United States of America.
Selette is an expert at maintaining and growing partnerships and ensuring that SMI clients get an outstanding service every time.
On Selette, Jonny Wootton said: “We needed representation in the United States and found a real gem in Selette.
“I personally wanted someone who really cared and was also skilled at retaining business and ensuring we are providing a first-class service at all times. We have that in Selette.”
“Just imagine if everyone involved in your team had unshakable belief, resilience to keep going and remain strong in adversity, the ability to visualize success and have an unconscious mind that is always working harmoniously with your conscious mind. And, importantly, to have a team full of individuals that can find complete meaning in their role in the team, meaning their daily motivation is guaranteed.”
