Global NLP Training was originally started as a temporary partnership in January 2007, by Stephan Cocks (Las Vegas, Nevada) and Nicole Schneider (Amsterdam, The Netherlands.) Before this time they had been independent trainers and coaches flying solo since the early 1980s, and the early 1990s respectively.  The synergy between the two trainers was described as “magic” by their students offering a perfect balance of “yin and yang.”

Stephan and Nicole decided to not to let go of what was a good thing, and soon after they legally established Global NLP Training.  The passion they shared was teaching others how to move people from a situation where they are stuck, to a situation where they are “unstuck,” to think in terms of possibilities instead of problems.

Global NLP Training established its offices in London, United Kingdom. They initially provided in-house or in-company training in North-America, Europe and Asia. Despite having an extensive network in the business environment, Nicole and Stephan decided to mid 2007 make the switch to their preferred passion, teaching aspiring personal coaches, therapists, educators and professionals.

The power of their highly effective NLP training and life coaching program steadily grew in success over the past years, particularly in the United States. Already in fall of 2007, a second office was established in Las Vegas, Nevada. Several supporting staff resources were brought on board. With exception of student enquiries, despite their busy schedules Stephan and Nicole wanted to prove their commitment to every student by speaking to them personally.

In 2008, Nicole and Stephan’s talents didn’t go undiscovered. They were hired to work with one of the most respected top quality celebrity and entertainment coaching agencies “Shading the Limelight.” “Shading the Limelight” owner and principal coach is Cristi Williams, highly regarded for coaching celebrities, upcoming talent and their parents.  

Nicole and Stephan started early 2008 to rigorously train new (assistant) trainers of NLP in their proprietary Global NLP Training Learning Immersion system. Several assistant-trainers and trainers are doing an apprenticeship with us now, in 2010 we present Global NLP Training first trainers to go solo after completing our intensive trainers training.
