Klaus Grochowiak (born October 27, 1950 in Berlin ; † April 12, 2020 in Frankfurt / Main ) was a German communication and management coach and book author as well as the author of several specialist articles. He was a member of the German Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (DVNLP) as well as the International NLP Trainers Association (INLPTA) and founded the “Creative NLP Academy” (CNLPA) in Wiesbaden in 1990, which he headed until the end of 2017.

Life

Klaus Grochowiak grew up as the oldest of five half-brothers. From 1969 to 1975 Grochowiak studied political science and wrote his diploma thesis on the subject of "The context-value logic as a formal model for modeling the goods-money relationship in Marx". He worked for a Berlin brokerage company and from then on sold commodity futures contracts. He later worked in the same industry in Switzerland and London.

Grochowiak completed his first NLP course in Switzerland with Richard Bandler . He then trained as a NLP master, trainer and also in human design engineering in San Diego / USA. He repeated the trainer training with Chris Hall, which he had met in San Diego as an assistant trainer.

Back in Germany in 1986, Grochowiak then worked for the Horst-Rückle team as a communication and management trainer for around two and a half years. In 1987/88 he offered his first own NLP practitioner course; on January 1, 1990, Grochowiak founded the Creative NLP Academy . The Practitioner and Master's handbooks written by Grochowiak have emerged from the repeatedly supplemented and revised seminar documents.

In 1992 he got to know Ulf Pitthan and Katharina Stresius as participants in his master’s course: With them he came into contact for the first time with the entire field of systemic family therapy and constellation work ( family constellation ). Grochowiak, for his part, completed a systemic training course with the two of them and then together with them, first in the Frankfurt area and then throughout Germany, offered seminars under the title “NLP and systemic family constellations” - this resulted in the book “NLP & Family Constellations “Originated.

Grochowiak continued to write books in parallel to the training courses, workshops, seminars and coaching on offer. He has summarized his understanding of NLP and training in a book “Framing - NLP knowledge for trainers” (4 volumes); this represents the main work of his last years.
