What Leaders Are Saying
Steve's keynote changed the way our leadership team approaches pressure. We went from a culture of constant firefighting to one where our leaders actually trust their teams to execute. Six months later, our nurse retention improved by 18%. That is not a coincidence.

Chief Nursing Officer, Midwest Healthcare System
We needed someone who could speak to a room of 400 sales leaders without sounding like a motivational poster. Steve delivered. His pressure-to-performance framework resonated with our top producers and our new hires alike. Real content, real energy, real results.

Healthcare leadership is uniquely demanding, and most speakers do not understand that. Steve does. His Rising Stronger keynote gave our physician leaders a practical resilience framework that acknowledged the realities of our environment. Authentic, evidence-informed, and deeply relevant.
