Bio
Terri-Ann Richards
I had the pleasure of witnessing Steve speak at a Leadership Conference last week and was absolutely moved. His take on gratitude and the need to blend it into everyday leadership truly shifted my perspectives. The experience was witty, funny and moving. I highly recommend Steve as a speaker /presenter for any organization truly looking to take their Leadership to the next level.
Paul Wareham
Steve is one of those rare people that can connect with just about anyone. Myself and my team really enjoyed working with Steve In doing a strategic road mapping and team development. He did a fabulous job pulling us all together and taking us through some structured collaboration. He’s not only a really nice person but he also knows how to get things done in business. I am grateful to know Steve and to have had the opportunity to work with him.
