Stephen Josephs Quick Facts

Stephen's 25-year executive coaching practice grew through decades of training and research. He is especially skilled at helping clients use the immediate challenges they face as opportunities to expand their capacity to lead. This helps them achieve not only their desired business results, but also an increased satisfaction with work and home life. In his work with groups, Steve specializes in developing cohesive and collaborative teams that communicate in ways that build productive work environments. Steve's research on performance began in the 1970s, when he founded the Massachusetts Institute of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). NLP is a cognitive-behavioral method for understanding and improving performance. Stephen used this approach to “model” exemplary leaders, identifying the implicit thought processes that allow them to outperform others by significant margins. He then went on to create performance models for business communication, with applications in the areas of leadership, management, team-building, sales, and customer service. A skilled performer himself (classical guitar and improvisational theater), Steve draws on his unique talents to help groups and individuals communicate the best of what they have to offer.
