In this episode of WooBiz, host Andy Walker sits down with Tree Ryde—hypnotist, NLP Master Practitioner, corporate trainer, and business coach. Known as the Human Whisperer, Tree reveals how tuning your “inner compass” can help leaders and entrepreneurs build discernment, improve communication, and thrive in uncertainty.

Together, Andy and Tree explore how hypnosis, nervous system awareness, and NLP can help you unlock hidden potential, communicate more effectively, and make confident decisions even when the path forward isn’t clear.

• What discernment really means—and why it’s a critical leadership skill.
• How hypnosis helps reframe limiting beliefs and dissolve hidden blocks.
• A practical exercise to spot whether someone is visual, auditory, or kinesthetic—and adapt your communication to match.
• Why expectations create frustration in business and relationships, and how to reset them.
• How to stay calm, centered, and effective when dealing with difficult clients, employees, or situations.

Tree Ryde is an NLP Master Practitioner, Consulting Hypnotist, and Corporate Trainer with over 15 years of experience.
