CARMEN BOSTIC ST CLAIR SPOTLIGHT

July 28, 2026


She won National Teacher of the Year. Then she directed billion-dollar mergers. Now she’s the Co-Creator of  New Code NLP


Let me tell you about Carmen Bostic St Clair.

Carmen started as a school teacher. She was so exceptional at creating learning environments that she won the National Teacher of the Year Award in the USA. Then she went back to school herself. She got an MBA. Then a Doctorate in Jurisprudence. She became Director of Mergers and Acquisitions, directing multi-billion dollar deals.

By the time she and John Grinder joined forces, she was CEO of a holding company with 27 subsidiaries, manufacturing, radio stations, and commercial real estate. She has held senior political research posts in the US government administration, including the White House Committee on the Development of Small Business.

Today, Carmen is the CEO and Founder of Quantum Leap, the company through which she and John do their corporate work.

But here is what makes Carmen truly remarkable as a trainer:

She can initiate unconscious change in large groups. Not through tricks or techniques. Through a level of skill that very few human beings possess. People describe her as someone who “delights and provokes simultaneously”, and that is exactly what great teaching looks like.
