Atiya Chaudhry-Green lives in the UK and has 37 years healthcare experience in clinical care, quality improvement, project and programme management.

Throughout her career she has been an avid learner and undertaken many self, team, quality improvement and leadership courses and trainings.

It was only when she completed and certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Coach over 20 years ago that she realised she had buried her uniqueness and authenticity through life experiences that had been shaped and programmed within her unconscious mind! She realised she wasn’t living into my true potential. This happens to all of us!

Atiya was so passionate about the skills she had developed she trained and became certified to deliver NLP trainings. She added to her skills through becoming trained in visual and virtual strategy and facilitation. This opened up her creative portal big time which has led to her unique creative and powerful teaching/trainings and coaching methodology. She now has the honour to support others to do the same and tap into their uniqueness for greater impact in their lives!

Atiya is an amazon international best-selling co-author of a book called “When Love Speaks” where she shares her story of being a child, how it limited her potential but led to her passion today to serve others to live in their ultimate potential.

It got her thinking about how she could support children from age 6/7 years of age ( this is when the programming starts to set in), from being less programmed using the tools she had been trained in through NLP and share these through storytelling and developing communities of practice and training support for parents and teachers.

Atiya is passionate about her work and wants to bring “Transformation through Tenderness” and support adults who are curious to understand how to minimise the programming and support unlocking the creativity of each child. When working with Atiya you also open up your own creative portal too!

Atiya now works as an entrepreneur and is a specialist coach/trainer in powerful connection strategies to influence & impact growth and creativity and has a business called Super Smart Stories.

Atiya trainings and coaching with parents and teachers has impacted children positively through powerful, effective and customised relationship building tools! She also offers bespoke creativity visual workshops to help unlock potential, increase confidence, boost motivation and increase resiliency skills.
