Speaking that redefines success for today’s leaders.

I bring the energy of a seasoned performer, the insight of a wellbeing specialist, and the hard-won lessons of real leadership to challenge outdated ways of working and leave audiences ready to lead with purpose and resilience.

Signature sessions

Not a Machine: The Human Edge in the Age of AI

Why now: AI is rewriting the rules of work, but the real competitive advantage lies in the things only humans can do – presence, creativity, judgment, and connection.

What you’ll take away: A founder-tested framework for strengthening the capabilities AI can’t replicate, and strategies for protecting the human spark that drives innovation and trust.


When Leadership Breaks Us

Why now: Even the most capable founders and leaders are burning out, chasing a version of success that erodes their health, clarity, and relationships.

What you’ll take away: Practical tools to recognise the silent costs of leadership before they tip into crisis, and a sustainable blueprint for leading with energy, alignment, and impact that lasts.


The Performance Paradox

Why now: Teams don’t falter because they care less. They falter because performance is defined in ways that drain the people delivering it.

What you’ll take away: A human-centred performance model that measures success in results and resilience, plus targeted interventions to improve both without sacrificing one for the other.

  • “We’ve worked with Steve multiple times — as a keynote speaker for broadcast events reaching thousands, a guest on a TV-style show, and as a facilitator of performance and wellbeing webinars.

Whether it’s a leadership event or a large-scale broadcast, Steve always delivers with energy, clarity, and a flawless presence.”

He combines scientific insight with practical tools, and effortlessly encourages audiences to try out what the science actually says. His sessions are thought-provoking, energising, and full of takeaways to experiment with. Whether he’s speaking on leadership, culture, or wellbeing, it’s always a fantastic experience.”
