Charles Faulkner

Charles is one of the real modelers and thinkers in the field of NLP. He famously used NLP modeling to discover the mix of mental and emotional skills required for superior decision making and action. His studies of futures traders are featured in numerous interviews in books and journals including The New Market Wizards (1992), The Intuitive Trader (1996), and Trend Following (2004). His latest application is the five dimensions of natural decision making. His other modeling projects include: a study of physician decision strategies used by 3M, a modeling of a software testing designer's methodology for H-P, a consulting group's team work strategy, as well as how a corporation creates a culture for IBM.

Charles is also the author or co-author of 10 NLP titles including co-editing with Steve Andreas NLP: The New Technology of Achievement – the #1 NLP best seller on Amazon.com. He has also produced an audio series on how metaphors affect identity, influence and change in individuals and organizations, as well as combining NLP and Systems Dynamics in his experiential coaching tool Trimurti (2001).

Throughout all of these activities, Charles maintains a connection with leading academics in cognitive science and linguistics – using these cutting edge insights to advance and inform NLP.  Recently Charles has been honored with an appointment as a Visiting Senior Fellow in the University of Surrey School of Management where he will be working with Professors Paul Tosey and Jane Mathison developing the UK NLP Research Program. His contributions will include his knowledge and applications of Cognitive Linguistics and Neuroscience to NLP as well as substantiating research in Behavioral Finance and Natural Decision Making.
