What Leaders Are Saying...

We brought Steve in to discuss the 5 levels of leadership with my team. The team members I chose to take this class were all junior or aspiring leaders. They all walked away feeling inspired and understanding that becoming a great leader doesn’t happen overnight. I also learned a lot about myself during this class. The topics we discussed forced me to self-reflect and realize the mistakes that I’ve made along my journey and how to fix them in the future. Steve as an instructor was extremely engaging and made everyone feel comfortable having uncomfortable conversations.

Steve taught me that professional critiquing [feedback] is not designed to point out your flaws. Its purpose is to uplift and give you the confidence to be your best. His leadership style is more of a guided conversation to help you pinpoint the area(s) of improvement while creating a personalized strategy that evolves as you grow in your role.
