Online, April 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Willie Horton, a consultant, trainer and mentor in the field of Personal Development and Effectiveness since 1996.

He has enabled them become extra-ordinarily efficient, effective and productive. In 2008 he launched Gurdy.Net as an online resource for anyone who wants to change their life. Gurdy.Net is the home of the online version of Willie's highly acclaimed Personal Development Seminar 'CHANGE YOUR LIFE' which has been running for the last thirteen years.

On this occasion, Willie's work with Deloitte is designed to provide the Director Group with an understanding of focus, how the normal mind lacks this focus and how this adversely affects decision making, communication and our ability to be our most effective, efficient and productive. Participants will be equipped with a range of simple and practical tools to enable them overcome the clutter of the normal mind, in particular in relation to the key areas of time management, delegation, communication and practice development.

Ronan Nolan, Partner and Head of Corporate Finance at Deloitte Dublin said "When I originally participated in Willie's Personal Development WorkshopPersonal Development Workshop, I found the session very interesting and stimulating. It really provided great insights into the process of achieving better focus, and reducing the impact of distractions."

He continued: "Since then, Willie has worked with a number of key people in Deloitte. On this occasion we are seeing a very encouraging appetite for what he does - his forthcoming session in Dublin is already over-subscribed which, I think, speaks for itself."

Willie Horton, Gurdy.Net said "In my experience, I believe Deloitte to be among the foremost thinkers and doers when it comes to the personal and professional development of their people. Having worked with Ronan on a number of occasions before, I'm very much looking forward to getting my feet on the ground in Dublin, getting to know the participants from the Director Group and working with them to enable them enhance their own personal effectiveness on a day to day basis."
