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.

Executive Director, National HR Association
I have booked Steve three times now, and every time he brings fresh, relevant content. He takes the time to understand our challenges and tailors his message accordingly. Our leaders walk away with frameworks they actually use, not just notes they file away.
Patricia L.
VP of Learning and Development, Midwest Regional 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.
