About Us

Cutting Edge Motivation which owns and runs this website was established in 1999 by Tom Hendry and Peter Gleeson.

Tom comes from a disengaged background being brought up in a council house estate near Glasgow, Scotland. At an early age he experienced being split up from his brothers and sisters and put in a children's home for a time. This was part of the upheaval that was caused by his father who was in jail for most of his early life. He only met his father on 3 or 4 occasions. His experiences led him to having low confidence, low self-esteem and consequently leaving school with no qualifications. After a short period in the army he went on to become a highly successful Manager in Financial Services largely due to his work in Motivation. He now runs Cutting Edge Motivation.

Peter is a Psychotherapist and an Accredited Facilitator in Personal and Organisational Development including Conflict Resolution. He is an expert in Cognitive Behavioural group work and has introduced programmes to the Criminal Justice System and to the Psychiatric Care Services.

The courses are based on Tom's experiential background and Peter's academic background. They offer some real hope to young people who believe that they are useless, worthless, negative and will never achieve anything.

Cutting Edge Motivation has thousands of testimonials based on their work with schools, colleges, universities and youth training organisations. They tend to work with small groups of, vulnerable, young people putting them through a 1 or 2-day comprehensive course that focuses on the barriers to learning. Schools can also book short half-day Motivational sessions for their year groups.
