Igniting the Spark: Tony Nutley’s Journey from Belief to Action
In this episode of the How2-Change Words of Wisdom podcast, we welcome Tony Nutley, CEO and Founder of the UK College of Personal Development (UKCPD). Tony’s story is a compelling reminder that true transformation is sparked not just by belief but by the courage to act on that belief. With over 25 years dedicated to coaching, NLP, and leadership development, Tony’s career has impacted thousands of lives and continues to inspire.
Tony shares the single most impactful piece of advice he ever received: “If you believe in it and trust it, make it work for yourself.” This advice came at a pivotal moment early in his career when he was navigating the transition from theory to practice.

The conversation explores the importance of moving from insight to implementation, showing that the most significant results come when we commit to acting on our expertise.
