Steven LaVelle

The former president of the IACT (International Association of Counselors and Therapists), Steven has personally trained over 10,000 professional men and women to use the art and science of persuasion and influence as a part of their work. You may have seen him on the national television programs, Connie Chung’s Eye to Eye and The Joan River’s Show or heard him on dozens of radio shows across America. He is a former instructor for the California State University at Fresno campus and a motivational speaker/seminar leader, having appeared at Stanford University, Berkeley, Lockheed Aerospace LERA group, CSUF, hospitals and at over 1000 public, corporate and private lectures, seminars and courses.

His persuasion strategies and sales techniques including psychoneurogenics (PNG) and “One Sentence Selling Methods” have made him a popular lecturer for over 20 years. Chief Editor for Unlimited Human Magazine for six years, he shared the cover with such notables as Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Deepak Chopra and many others who have changed the way Americans think, act and are influenced.

He now makes his home in Florida and when not traveling, spends much of his spare time writing. He has authored numerous books and courses. Over a quarter of a million of his audio programs have been sold nationally and internationally. He was asked to represent the United States as Citizen Ambassador to China by the People to People Project and lectured for physicians, counselors and therapists in Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. In January of 1999 he was invited by Nav Nirmaan to teach in Mumbai (Bombay) India.

He is co-author of, “Master the Clutter,” with Ron Alford and Melissa Pusateri of Disaster Masters in New York. His most recent work, a retelling of Van Ransellaer Dey’s, motivational tale, The Magic Story, is on the market now, published by DeVorss, and he is in the process of completing three new works-in-progress (one of which is with the editors now), all of which are designed to teach the readers how to persuade, sell and increase profits in an ethical and productive manner.

With Phil McLaughlin, he acted as editor and interviewer for the new book, “Insider Secrets For a Successful Restoration Business.” You can learn more about this book and the 38 contributors at: http://www.therestorationmaster.com/
