Dr. Michael L. Hall- Chief Training Consultant

Dr. Michael Hall, with his doctorate in the Cognitive-Behavioural science, is a psychologist who is contrinting the modelling of self-actualization that Abranham Maslow began. Beginning with his work in Cognitive Psychology, he discovered the field of NLP and worked for a while with the genius behind NLP model. Then modelling resilience, he discovered the Meta-States model that became the most significant contribution to NLP in the 1990s. That led to the creation of the field of Neuro-Semantics and later, the creation of the International Society of Neuro-Semantics. Since the early 1990s, he has modelled leadership, learning, selling, wealth creation, and then coaching.

Today, Michael is a visionary leader in the field of Neuro-Semantics and Self-Actualization Psychology in the world. He works as an entrepreneur, researcher and international trainer. He has been teaching 10 thousands of people all over the world. And he practices what he teaches through his way of living. He has been publishing over 40 books, and his schedule of seminars and lectures is constantly filled for next 1 to 2 years. He is actively and evidently on the top of the field of personal development.

The Founding of Neuro-Semantics

Dr. Hall founded Neuro-Semantics upon the work of Gregory Bateson (Steps to an Ecology of Mind) and Alfred Korzybski (and his primary source, Science and Sanity; 1933 / 1994). Studying and writing on the work of Korzbyski in Anchor Point, NLP World, Rapport and other NLP journals in 1990-1996, Michael created a training program “The Merging of the Models: NLP meets General Semantics” for trainings in London in 1996 and 1997. Invited by Denis Bridoux and Dr. Philip Nolan, the Merging of the Models gave birth to many of the key distinctions in Neuro-Semantics.

Author and Publisher

Dr. Hall is known as a prolific writer, having authored 40 books in the field of NLP, many of them best sellers through Crown House Publishes (Wales, UK) and many of them translated into numerous languages: German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Arab, etc. While it took Michael eight years to write his first book (1985), after the discovery of the Meta-States Model in 1995, he remodeled the “accessing personal genius” pattern from Grinder and DeLozier. Then he used that new version to create his own highly focused states for reading and writing. That was the last year he experienced “writer’s block.” Since then, he has averaged three books and more than 100 articles every year.
