so vix did an NLP workshop for Grow and Glow today, and is taking courses on how to be an NLP coach
NLP stands for neurolinguistic programming - a quick look on google/wikipedia will tell you it's a pseudoscience and morally dubious! already this screams scam scam scam!!!
anyway this is the guy running the workshop for the G&G members:
A quick google reveals him to be a "Robbie Steinhouse", who's written lots of stuff about NLP.
but there's no other information about him online outside of this weird NLP business and books/e-books that could potentially be self-published. Nowhere on companies house or mentions in reputable press, and google actually runs out of results for him on the ninth page
I smelt a rat - how can someone who is an expert in their field not have a digital footprint anywhere else???????
That's because under his full name Robert Steinhouse he is effectively a slum landlord who owns lots of tower blocks but refuses to remove dangerous cladding (the kind that caused the grenfell fire), putting families lives at risk. He's happy to rake in hundreds of thousands of pounds a year on ground rent though!!!

It's definitely the same person - look his listings on companies house:
find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk
TLDR: Vix is offering pseudoscientific coaching courses, run by a morally dubious individual who is happy to exploit the less fortunate for profit - ring any bells!??!?!?

*Excuse my rant*
I’ve worked in digital marketing for more than 10 years and have pretty much seen it all when it comes to people trying to sell their “expertise”.
What irks me the MOST? Mediocre (at best) bloggers like Vix Mildrew scamming other naive but hopeful bloggers out of their hard earned money. To me it’s just plain cruel. Like a sleezy used car salesmen trying to pawn a lemon off on an inexperienced shopper.
Yes, I admit I haven’t followed Vix closely. Her public talk about anal sex back when she was also a teacher did me in. But she really really hasn’t come that far since. Let’s be real, if her advice was any good she would be A LOT more successful by now. But... she’s not.
Like I said. The trickery and false bravado of MILDLY successful bloggers branding themselves as experts pisses me off. Fact is, Vix and those like her start selling courses and webinars because they couldn’t make the fashion, beauty or whatever niche they originally blogged about work. So they cash in on the vulnerable target audience of naive bloggers who are just starting out. They post infographics and overuse words like hub, tribe and community in the same veil as all the other pyramid schemes out there.
I sincerely wish there was some form of regulation involved, requiring someone to be an accredited expert to sell such “expertise“. One with real professional references, not just small time bloggers hoping to find the golden ticket.
In conclusion: Vix runs a dirty unethical scheme and I really wish someone would come and shut her down. Because I highly doubt her conscious will step in anytime soon, sadly.

This discussion reminded me about this thing that got shared back on GG a couple of years back, one of the “resources”
