Culture Keynote Speaker
Culture keynotes built around standards, ownership, and leadership behavior, not slogans and posters.
Culture is not what you say you value. Culture is what you tolerate. My keynotes help organizations strengthen the behaviors that create clarity, ownership, and consistent performance when pressure is high.

What Leaders Are Saying
We brought Steve in for our annual leadership retreat, and the feedback was overwhelming. His Guide, Don't Drive framework gave our branch managers a language and a system for developing their people. Practical, direct, and immediately applicable.
James H.
President & CEO, Michigan Community Bank
Steve brings something most leadership speakers lack: real operational experience. He has built companies, led teams through downturns, and made hard decisions. That credibility comes through in every story he tells on stage. Our partners and managers responded immediately to his message.
Rachel H.
VP of Talent Strategy, New York Professional Services Firm
Our plant leaders are technically excellent but were struggling with the people side of leadership. Steve's keynote gave them a practical framework for building ownership on the floor without micromanaging every shift. We saw measurable improvement in engagement scores within one quarter.
