.....from an early age Steve was incorporating NLP techniques into his life without even realising it!  In his teenage years he was an outstanding footballer and, playing for West Ham United, competed against the likes of David Beckham and Sol Campbell.  When his footballing career was cut short due to injury, he retained a positive attitude and moved into a new career in the Financial Futures Markets. After enjoying eight successful years of working in the city, he started to feel like it was time for a change.

“I enjoyed the time I spent working in the city, but started to feel that there was something more to life and that my future lay elsewhere. I wasn’t sure in which direction I wanted to go but I knew that if I stayed positive and open to any opportunities, that something would soon present itself.”

Sure enough he soon received a call from an old friend, offering him a chance to coach Soccer in America for a large sports company. It was here that his talent for coaching came to the fore. Although he was primarily coaching soccer skills, his way with people soon led him to be the director of the camps he was involved with. It wasn’t long before people were commenting on how his training had not only helped them improve their soccer skills, but had inspired them in their personal lives as well.  It was this feedback that opened his eyes to his potential for a future in the motivational field.

He began to study NLP techniques, Life Coaching and the Art of Positive Thinking – as well as learning from his Mother who is a Metaphysical Counsellor and Trainer. After beginning this new career coaching friends he had met through his time at the soccer camps, he was soon very much in demand and was invited to travel across the country to coach friends of friends. This led to him travelling across the Mid-West and successfully coaching, amongst others, aspiring and established Sports people, Businessmen and people involved in the Media. A twist of fate then led him to the bright lights of Los Angeles and Hollywood.  Here he helped several Actors, Musicians, Comedians and other entertainers to further their careers.

Despite being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (a potentially disabilitating illness) in 2004, his positive attitude and use of NLP techniques on himself enabled him to continue his trips to America until, in 2006 he decided to turn his attentions back to home and setting up his practice back in Brentwood Essex.

Steven now works in association with Sara Wilson, providing private and corporate courses and workshops, as well as continuing with personal one to one coaching sessions.
