Exelorate is built on the dream of bringing Lightbulb Moments to the challenge of learning.
Learning stuff is hard. Once we leave school and begin our careers we forget that we need to keep learning. We are now responsible and accountable for our own personal growth.
That’s where we can help.
With over 30 years of experience in Customer Service, Training and Development, and Business Management, Exelorate has developed a rich competence in providing innovative and creative collaborative development options through facilitated Training, Coaching and Mentorship.
The name Exel-orate comes from being able to excel in everything you do and to talk about your successes with others.

VIKI JOHNSTON
Exelorate was founded by me, Viki Johnston, a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Mental and Emotional Release, following a life long passion to discover more about how and why we learn, why people learn in different ways and how we can be the best we can be.
I bring years of experience of Class Room Training and Consultancy and have been lucky enough to have travelled with my family, living in Europe and the US. Now I want to share my passion of life long learning with everyone I meet.
I firmly believe we can all be great, and we all have a gift to share, personally, I love being able to help others experience their "lightbulb" moment, find their greatness and help people managers manage great teams. I also love shoes..!
If you would like to Exelorate your success through Personal Development let me know.
