John James Santangelo PhD

John James Santangelo Ph.D. -

Most people don't struggle because they're broken. They struggle because nobody ever taught them how to run their own mind.

For more than 25 years, John James Santangelo, PhD, has helped entrepreneurs, professionals, coaches, and high achievers master their emotions, improve communication, break through limiting patterns, and create lasting results using the principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnosis, and practical psychology.

John's entrepreneurial journey began at age fifteen as a professional magician. While performing and building businesses, he discovered an important truth: success leaves clues, but achievement requires far more than talent or desire. It requires understanding the simple patterns that drive our human behavior.

John believes that… “human behavior can be understood, changed, and optimized - and that mastering your inner world changes your outer results.”

That realization led him to pursue the study of behavioral change, earning his PhD in Clinical Hypnotherapy and becoming a certified NLP Trainer, professional speaker, and results coach.

Today, John is the founder of the Los Angeles NLP Training Center (LANLP), where he has trained thousands of students to develop emotional mastery, communicate with confidence, and create meaningful change in both life and business.

Over the years, his work has extended to organizations including Microsoft, Xerox, Mary Kay, RE/MAX, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, and the United States Army Counter-Intelligence team, where he provided specialized communication, behavioral analysis and teaching lie-detection skills months following the events of 9/11.

John is the author of multiple books on personal development, emotional intelligence, goal achievement, communication skills, NLP, and human performance. His work combines practical action with transformational principles, helping readers move beyond information and create genuine behavioral change.

At the heart of everything he teaches is one simple philosophy:

Master your mind. Master your communication. Master your results!

Because when you change the conversations happening inside your own head, you change the quality of every relationship, every decision, and every outcome that follows.

And remember... "Purpose, Passion & Persistence drives Results!

To Your Success, John James Santangelo Ph.D.
