John Grinder

At the core of the Business NLP Academy is the work of Dr. John Grinder.

John is jointly responsible for the creation of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. With his blend of expertise in the fields of linguistics and psychology, he has designed a branch of psychology to enable people to lead more enriched and fulfilling lives.

Since receiving his Ph.D from the University of California he has carved out a career as a linguist, trainer and management consultant. He is the author of 14 books on subjects including transformational grammar, family therapy and of course, NLP. He is seen to be the foremost expert and the father of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

John’s expertise has provided content for over 1,000 educational books on specialist NLP matters, sales, psychology, negotiation, management, parenting and accelerated learning. His work is also the backbone of many NLP seminars conducted by NLP trainers all around the world, teaching his theories to over 20,000 delegates each year. Dr Grinder’s work is recognizable in the majority of quality business seminars meaning his work has influenced tens of thousands of people, a figure that continues to rise.

John Grinder’s aim when creating NLP, alongside Richard Bandler, was to produce a formula to replicate extreme human excellence. John identified theories from leading thinkers, in a range of disciplines, to help form the basis of NLP.

His early work with Bandler continues to be updated and modified and, with his partner Carmen Bostic St Clair, he is exploring new areas where his theories can be successfully applied.

With the Business NLP Academy’s exclusive access to Dr Grinder’s expertise, even the most experienced Master Practitioner will learn new skills directly from the co-creator of NLP. Delegates can expect to gain from John’s unrivaled knowledge of the subject of NLP, his skill at delivering his ideas, and his infectious personal charisma.

The Business NLP Academy will ensure, with John’s guidance, your NLP skills will be substantially advanced allowing you to excel in your field and reach the top of your game.
