“Steve is an amazingly creative stategist who can listen to what you need and design a workshop or a body of work that will produce the results you are asking for! His style works with EVERY type of employee, group or organization you are working with! I have had the privilege of working with and for Steve on several occasions~Steve helped me get to a place where I could understand and work together amicably with a highly charged employee conflict which was miraculous. Also, on a 6 month strategic initiative Steve helped me develop and write a mission and vision statement for our administrative services department from scratch for over 800+ employees. His innovative, collaborative and clear strategy and approach had employees at all levels involved in the process and development of the final statements.

Steve is amazing~when you meet him you will understand why our department still flies Steve out every year for the past 10 years for at least one week a month to work with our 400+ team from Colorado to California!”
