John James Santangelo, C.Ht. – I'm a nationally acclaimed speaker, trainer, author and performance coach who's been a guiding force in empowering individuals, businesses, and corporations to excel and achieve peak performance. I'm also a foremost authority on success strategies, an expert in the field of communication, a behavioral specialist, an NLP trainer, and a clinical hypnotherapist. I've had the privilege of working with and training under the VERY BEST; Christopher Howard (as one of his head trainers), Robert Dilts at NLP University, Richard Bandler and Associates, Tim & Kris Hallbom, The Tad James Company, the Anthony Robbins Companies, Gary De Rodriguez seminars, and many others who've honed my professional skills to help train and guide YOU to become the very best you can become!

Perhaps like you, I’ve struggled and faced frustration throughout my life, trying to get ahead and make ends meet. I’ve done all the affirmations and self-development programs that were supposed to be life changing. The only thing that was life changing was the time that I was spending learning what to do but never how to do it! I finally had had enough – I went on a mission to discover how truly successful people were manifesting their abundance. I knew there had to be a secret set of techniques or rules by which they lived their lives. It seemed so easy for them to produce the results they desired, consistently!

When I heard about NLP, I listened. I attended my first NLP program though The Learning Annex, and the rest is history. Amazingly enough, I now teach the same class that I attended years ago.

I believe that miracles are happening all around us, and yet each one of us, regardless of our upbringing, faces challenges on a daily basis. And it can be those very same challenges that can give us the opportunity to see all the possibilities that life has to offer. What we focus on will determine how we grow and live our lives, and how we view our world will shape our future. As a child, I was taught what I believed was a great theory: “Get an education, work hard, and all your dreams will come true.” The problem was that I never knew what my dreams were—perhaps you have felt the same.

Have you ever done something because you thought you were supposed to—even though you knew you didn't want to do it? That’s why I went to college. That’s also why I dropped out. I went to work at age 19 to earn a living, and though it wasn’t much of a living, it was what I thought I was supposed to do. But after many years of just earning a living, I decided to start creating a life!

I began a quest to discover what it takes to become truly successful and to find a passion in my life. Ten years and many possibilities later, I knew that what I love most is teaching and entertaining. But what could I possibly do where people would listen to what I had to say? Well, at age 15, I was performing as a professional magician. Then I went on to become a personal trainer and fitness consultant, managing numerous clubs in the health and fitness Industry. I became a volunteer “Big Brother” and now volunteer my time as a spokesperson for the Make-A-Wish foundation. I graduated from college with honors. I received an award for excellence in communication from Toastmasters International, I'm a certified NLP Master Trainer, and I was named one of the top clinical hypnotherapist graduates from the Hypnosis Motivational Institute. I am continually studying, learning, and improving my expertise in the area of behavioral psychology.

 I finished my first book,  which explores how to ask the right questions of ourselves to produce outstanding results and I just finished my second on successful NLP business strategies. I like helping people just like you to realize that we are not stuck with our parents’ antiquated “software.” With a new-found personal power, we can take control and reshape our old programming to produce outstanding results.

We all have awesome innate abilities, and we all have free will. We all have excellence within us. I frequently remind people of the statement made by Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937: “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!” Come join us and discover how to take the first step toward fulfilling your dreams and achieving your goals.
