About Becky
The honest version, messy bits included
I’m Rebecca Lockwood, but everyone calls me Becky. I’m a mum of two girls, an entrepreneur, an NLP Trainer, Master NLP Practitioner and Master Hypnotherapist, and the founder of The YES I CAN Method® and WILD.
I don’t present myself as someone who has it all figured out. I’ve had the wins and the flops, and I share both. That’s what actually helps people.
MY STORY
How I got here
Always building something
I started my first business at 17. At 22 I left my job, sold my car and started a business with no safety net. I’m an out and out entrepreneurial spirit, and I even danced around the room in my interview for The Apprentice back in 2013.
Five years leading sales teams
I spent around five years as a sales manager in a culture built on fear and pressure. Hit the target or else. I hated it, not because I was bad at sales, but because I knew there had to be a better way to lead people.
The year I lost myself
After my first daughter was born I went through postnatal depression and OCD. On my wedding day, with her a year old, I couldn’t fully enjoy it. All I could think was: what if it all just disappears?
Finding NLP
While I was still in sales and looking for my own personal development, I came across Neuro-Linguistic Programming. The only way I can describe it is an awakening. It explained everything I’d watched in those sales teams, and it helped me find myself again.
From coaching to training
I started delivering NLP Practitioner training and shifted my coaching business into a training business. Teaching is my zone of genius. It’s where I feel most like myself, and most at home.
Opening WILD
I first trained as a pole and aerial instructor back in 2009, then took a big break while I was having my children. In 2022 I retrained, came back to it and opened WILD.
Training coaches and building community
I’ve trained hundreds of coaches through The YES I CAN Method®, including teachers, carers and NHS staff. Through WILD, I support women every week with movement, strength and community. I’ve had six-figure launches and launches that completely flopped. And yes, I still get imposter syndrome. I notice it, thank it, and do the thing anyway.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
How I start every day
A full glass of water, then my journal. Intentions for the day, gratitude, then action on my biggest goals. I buy myself the flowers I love and book a massage every few months. Small things, but they keep me going.
I’ve been featured as an expert on mindset and mental health across the BBC, Stylist, Glamour, Woman & Home and plenty of other magazines and newspapers, and I’ve sat in a Hay House writers’ workshop with Julia Cameron and David Hamilton. But the thing I’m proudest of is watching the women I’ve trained go and change other people’s lives.
