From the info provided in his LinkedIn profile, Müller might have booked an STL course; it is not quite clear whether he also taught STL courses. However, he is using the STL course to promote his business activities and may seek to proselytise business contacts and employees:

Quote

    The spiritual psychology I employ is a model of emotional intelligence which leads to a deeper consciousness and understanding of our self and our relationships. It is a path of the heart, miraculously combining spirituality and psychology. The methods and tools were developed by Dr Chuck and Lency Spezzano in the search for a better path.

He describes his career as having started out in consulting in a small company in Zurich, then became a brand manager with a large pharma company, a marketing and sales manager in the segment of luxury goods, and an account director in a renowed advertising agency.
