Stephen started his City career with a Stockbroker at age 16 and then joined Goldman Sachs as a futures trader and later as a risk manager to a team of successful traders. It was in this position that it became apparent that performance was being influenced by state of mind. His new career path began. It was then that he committed his new career/life to learning more about the human mind.
It led to him training as a hypnotherapist initially, and then as a master practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) along with training in many other forms of Psychology along the way. In 2010 Stephen discovered the understanding of the Three Principles, which is described as the foundation behind all human experience and the underpinning of all Psychology – the blueprint to how the human mind works. His expertise lies in unlocking the true potential of the human mind and showing his clients how to access this. He combines his understanding of trading, the business world and his knowledge of the Three Principles to guide his clients toward an elevated state of mind.
