Leadership Retreat Speaker
Focused, practical keynotes for leadership retreats that sharpen alignment, strengthen trust, and raise the standard of execution.
Leadership retreats are where your senior team steps back to get honest about what is working and what is not. The keynote needs to match that level of seriousness. I deliver presentations built for smaller, high-stakes settings where every participant matters. The focus is on leadership behavior, ownership, and the standards that shape team performance.

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
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.
Mark D.
SVP of Sales, California Technology Company
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.
