What You’ll Receive
Your Trainers
Karl Heinz
Trainer of NLP
Trainer(s) are subject to change.
Trainer's Bio
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.”
Mandi Pratte
Trainer of NLP
Trainer(s) are subject to change.
Trainer's Bio
Mandi Pratte, Trainer of NLP, has become one of our most popular trainers. She is passionate about empowering others to embrace their potential and attain their goals, while inspiring them to make a positive contribution.
“What excites me most about the work I do is that, when you help empower someone to be who they are meant to be, you can see the ripple effect of good they do and how they positively impact others they touch. Empowerment is contagious.”
Mandi has been a business owner for 20 years, ranking as one of the Top Realtors® in the country for 8 years straight. She has also performed as an Integrative NLP Coach for 12 years, helping hundreds of people achieve the results they desire in both their business and personal lives.
Committed to making a positive impact, Mandi has worked tirelessly for the wellbeing of others. She has been acknowledged by the “Woman Who Moves the Valley” award in Arizona for her philanthropic work and leadership in her community. Mandi is particularly proud of a nonprofit she formed that encourages youth to connect to their purpose and gives them leadership and communication skills so they can make a positive impact. The youth in this program have raised funds for Phoenix Children Hospital, Make a Wish, at risk youth programs, and other organizations.
Mandi’s belief that “Anything is possible” is also reflected in her athletic endeavors. She regularly pushes herself physically, participating in full and half Ironman competitions and marathons. As a mother, she understands the importance of leaving a legacy for her children by embodying what she teaches in all areas of her life.
“For me, personal growth and empowerment is a life path. I am thrilled to be working with Empowerment, Inc. where I get to see so many lives transformed!”
