Connirae Andreas, PhD. One of the early pioneers in the field of NLP, she and husband Steve Andreas became known for their combination of precision and heart. They helped bring NLP into the mainstream through creating the first popular books, based on the work of the field's founders. Their contributions to the field include a long list of books, manuals, videos, and more, which continue to influence the field. Dr. Andreas's unique contributions include developing Core Transformation, and the Wholeness Work, two methodologies for precise and often profound change that go beyond fixing problems and can work even with difficult issues. She has been an invited speaker at national conferences for therapists including the Erickson Foundation Conferences, and the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium, and her work was strongly influenced by a personal experience with Dr. Milton Erickson in 1979. A Danforth scholar, Andreas received an MA in clinical psychology at Colorado University, and a PhD in psychotherapy from National Christian University.

Frank Bourke, PhD, has accrued nearly five decades of leadership experience spanning healthcare, academia, research, and clinical treatment. Trained at the Institute of Psychiatry in London as a Fulbright Scholar, he has served as a lecturer at Cornell University, CEO of a network of twelve psychiatric hospitals, and administrator/clinician in a variety of mental health settings. As Executive Director of the Research and Recognition Project, Dr. Bourke helped advance research on the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol. Multiple published studies have demonstrated significant PTSD symptom remission among veterans, often in less than five hours of treatment and without the use of medication. He continues to be a sought-after speaker on trauma recovery, resilience, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
