Known for his humble heart, passionate/compassionate teaching style, and his unceasing smile, Karl Heinz is relatively new to the Empowerment, Inc. team, but he’s not new to NLP. He first discovered NLP in 1988. “I knew back then that NLP was the path I was meant to follow. But like many of us, I had some baggage in the way that kept me from seeing it clearly.”

Graduating with an M.S. in Kinesiology, a B.S. double major in Exercise Physiology and Communication, Karl took his skills and became a business owner as a franchisee for Dunkin’ Donuts and partnering in a large furniture store. Later, he was recruited to hire, train, and manage salespeople for Microsoft. “In my different careers, I’ve always loved rolling up my sleeves to figure out how to fix things and help. And it’s always included figuring out how to help people to make positive changes in their lives.”

In 2014-2015, Karl took his certification trainings with Dr. Tad James, Dr. Matt’s father. “That’s when I became committed to this path. I formed my own company and worked full-time doing group trainings as well as one-on-one coaching. Because of my business background, many of my students and clients were entrepreneurs or wanted to become coaches themselves.”

In February of 2023, Karl was recruited to become a trainer with Empowerment, Inc. Students love the way he teaches and the instant connection they feel with him. “I am trained in a number of other modalities, yet I never felt as prepared as I am now with the tools and technology from NLP, MER (Mental and Emotional Release) and Huna. Having been involved in NLP for over 35 years, I’ve witnessed how it has evolved to make an even greater impact on people’s lives.”

Karl lives with his wife, a professor with the University of Texas in Austin, Texas. Whenever he has spare time, he enjoys woodworking, turning a beautiful piece of nature into a form of art and love, exercise, and road trips.

“This work, of all things I have done and been involved in, is by far the most rewarding. And I now know how fulfilling it feels to be in life on purpose, on the ‘path’ and to help others find their purpose and path as well.”
