Karen Falconer is the CEO and driving force of ANLP International CIC, the world's most successful independent Association for NLP Professionals. ANLP runs the largest international NLP annual conference.

Karen has found that many people get into NLP businesses to give back what they received from NLP in the first place...and find it challenging to get financial rewards for their services. In the NLP Professional, Karen shows that you can have a positive impact delivering NLP and run a successful professional, efficient and ethical business.

The Collaborative Leader is a practical guide to collaborating with others and leading collaboratively. That means learning how to win the hearts and minds of those who we lead.
