He was the co-founder, with his wife Connirae, of NLP Comprehensive in Boulder Colorado in 1979, one of the first NLP institutes. Recently, he authored the two-volume set, Six Blind Elephants: Understanding Ourselves and Each Other (2006), again demonstrating that he continues to be one of the foremost thinkers advancing the development of the field. He also wrote Transforming Yourself: Becoming who you want to be (2002) and Virginia Satir: The patterns of her magic (1991). He co-authored (with his wife, Connirae) Heart of the Mind (1989), Change Your Mind—and Keep the Change (1987), and the NLP 24 Day Practitioner Certification Training Manual (1986). In addition to his books, Steve has published numerous articles on various NLP-related topics in various publications, including the Psychotherapy Networker, (formerly the Family Therapy Networker) and the Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter. Steve was an early student and sponsor of NLP co-founders Richard Bandler and John Grinder. Together, Steve and his wife edited four classic NLP books by Bandler and Grinder.
