Listen "57. Carl Buchheit - An introduction to Neuro-Linguistic Programming"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s guest is Carl Buchheit, transformational coach and Co-Founder of the lauded NLP Marin (A staple training ground for silicon-valley's best CEO's and executive coaches.) Carl brings a fresh, heart-centered take on leadership, communication, and Neuro-Linguisting programming.
If you have been curious to learn more about NLP and why it is so popular amongst super coaches like Tony Robbins and high performing entrepreneurs, this episode will provide some helpful context.
So, what is Transformational NLP?
At its core, NLP is about noticing and shifting the unconscious patterns in how we think, speak, and act. Transformational NLP takes it further, helping you rewrite old stories, dissolve limiting beliefs, and build more conscious, connected relationships. It’s about using language and awareness not just to perform better, but to live more authentically.
Carl walks us through a handful of simple, powerful practices:
State awareness: how to shift your emotional energy in real time
Reframing: changing the meaning you give to challenging experiences
Language patterns: recognizing the words that shape your beliefs
Anchoring: using memory and movement to access powerful inner states
Meta-model questions: interrupting negative thought loops with clarity and curiosity
Throughout the episode, Carl brings real-life examples, mindset shifts, and emotionally intelligent tools that apply to everything from leadership and conflict to love and self-worth. Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, trying to lead with more empathy, or simply curious about how to rewire old mental patterns—this one’s for you.
It’s both a conversation and an invitation: to listen more deeply, speak more consciously, and create outcomes where everyone wins.
