Stephen has a rare ability to be honest and say what no one else will tell you, without making it sound like criticism. He will give you that right push, which supports and confirms, motivates and prods your development potential and sends you forward. Stephen comes highly recommended, and I truly miss all his great advice and reflections on both business and human behavior!

Stephen delivered an excellent session for a group of our senior partners. His many years of experience gives him great credibility and shines through in his presence. He is very high energy, very engaging and good at challenging his audience. Furthermore, he has a unique ability to stay present in the moment and leverage the opportunities that arise. He has the ability to make it relevant to the audience. And it was the experience of not knowing exactly what would happen but feeling 100% safe at the same time. Stephen’s session was the most talked about and the highest-rated of the seminar. I would not hesitate to invite Stephen back for future engagements.
