Nothing succeeds like Swanwick…

We have been tracking down this summer’s course tutors in their hide-outs across the UK. We asked the very busy John Lamont how he feels about the challenge of delivering one of this year’s specialist courses.

Really positive and excited, for two reasons.  Firstly, I love delivering ‘Succeeding on Purpose’ and secondly, the results from the last time we did something similar at Swanwick were downright amazing with lots of successes reported by participants – including publication of all sorts of stuff.  If we can repeat those results and have the same level of fun, it will be awfy good!

What can we expect from the course?

Four interesting and enjoyable sessions, an understanding of how the mind works and how we can make it work better, and a set of effective tools and techniques to help us do what it says on the box – succeed on purpose.

And what does Swanwick mean to you?

It’s getting to feel that I’ve been going to the Writers’ School since it was a nursery.  I’ve grown old at Swanwick but every year I love the whole shebang and invariably get to the end of the week already looking forward to the next year.

What does it mean to me? Old friends, new friends, new ideas, perspectives and stimulation, learning and encouragement, all in an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming, bright, relaxing and ever so slightly, delightfully wacky. In other words – Swanwick.
