I am an author and the founder of the NLP School, an award-winning coaching and leadership development organisation reaching 20,000 students around the world. I still run regular courses along with various eLearning Programs. I also offer personal coaching sessions.
I have published five books (Think Like an Entrepreneur, 2008; Brilliant Decision Making, 2010; How to Coach with NLP, 2010; Making Effective Decisions, 2013 – all published with Pearson Education; Mindful Business Leadership, 2017 with Routledge) which have been translated into Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, Polish and Korean. My work explores psychological methods such as neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), transactional analysis and mindfulness and their application to the professional world.
Always an avid reader, I grew up in Hampstead, North London inspired and encouraged by my family’s literary circle (which included Al Alvarez, Peter Elstob and Len Deighton) to pursue my passion for storytelling. My debut novel THE PROCESS draws on my twenty years’ experience as a teacher, coach and observer of the human psyche and marries this with my love of a great story. THE PROCESS is a therapy thriller which embeds the transformational power of psychology into the fun of a crime novel.
I am a graduate of the Curtis Brown Creative Writing Fiction course. I am also a faculty member at NLP University California and guest lecturer at University College London and Ecole Polytechnique Paris. I am a regular media commentator and radio/TV guest discussing coaching, psychology and mental well-being appearing on BBC Radio, in the Guardian and Sunday Times and other media around the world.
Praise for my non-fiction writing:
“Think Like an Entrepreneur” is an authoritative and sharply written guide to the psychology of success in business.’ (Al Alvarez, author, poet, critic)
‘Steinhouse is expert at taking complex ideas and presenting them in a clear and accessible way, without diminishing their power. With personal anecdotes, wide-ranging references, meticulous research and its author’s mastery of psychology, Mindful Business Leadership is a rich new resource that will help anyone who wants to improve their leadership in business and beyond.’ ― Francis Currie, Content Director, Wireless Group – inc. Virgin Radio, talkSport & talkRadio
Mindful Business Leadership: ‘This strikes me as an excellent book, written with intelligence, clarity and eloquence, combining cutting-edge ideas with timeless wisdom and plain old common sense. It draws on the author’s wealth of experience both as a coach and as a businessman. It will be of use to leaders in all fields seeking to deepen their understanding of the role and to overcome hidden barriers to success.’ ― Professor Jose Zalabardo, Head of Department, Department of Philosophy, UCL
