“I have had the pleasure to work with Steve for the past couple of months and can only recommend the experience. Steve has been very professional, always been well-prepared and did not mind challenging me at all. Although this was a coaching program I did appreciate his occasional excursion into mentoring as well since he has got a vast experience to draw on. His anecdotes were always well placed to zoom in on the message and he did support me with a lot of educational reading material to help me better understand and work on myself.”

When you are preoccupied with day to day stuff and find no time to reflect and look beyond.....when you need a sailing master to help you to steer your ship....when you want to have an open and friendly chat about almost anything....And then you can move on, with solutions and new ideas, reenergised and with more confidence, stronger than yesterday...Thanks Coach.”

- Marko Vujačić

“I have had the pleasure of having Steve as a business coach for the past year, and highly recommend him. Steve digs deep, stretches your thinking and goal setting, and focusses on the "whole" you, not just your business personality. He pushes you to get out of your comfort zone, push your thinking, and bring your whole self to work. I've learned strategies to empower my senior leadership team and encourage them to take on more responsibility and accountability, while also learning to take time to recharge, refocus, and re-energize myself and the team.”

Steve is equal parts coach and management guru, and through his expert tutelage, I have discovered a trove of resources that have sharpened my business and leadership acumen while also making me a more thoughtful, present, and well-rounded leader.”

- Anthony Marroney

“If there is a singular defining feature of Steve that stands out for me, it is his ability to help you remember the best of yourself and to ignite hope within you- that you can everyday do a little to be a slightly better version of you today than you were yesterday and that it is completely OK if you mess it up. I cannot say for certain in the long-run that Steve will work for any one particular person, nor can I guarantee he will work for everyone. What I can say though, with profound confidence, is that you should give Steve a go.”
