What Leaders Are Saying
Steve was the highest-rated speaker at our annual conference. The feedback from our members was incredible. He tailored his content to our HR audience, and the Guide, Don't Drive framework gave them something they could take back to their organizations immediately.
Angela T.
Executive Director, National HR Association
We took a risk booking a speaker our committee had not seen before. It paid off immediately. Steve connected with our audience of community bankers in a way that felt personal, not generic. His content on leadership under pressure was exactly what our members needed to hear.
David K.
Conference Chair, National Banking Association
We invited Steve to speak at our annual leadership conference for graduate students and faculty. His message on resilience and ownership resonated deeply with emerging leaders who are preparing to enter high-pressure careers. Several students told me it was a turning point in how they think about leadership.
