A different kind of leadership speaker.

I bring stage presence, deep wellbeing expertise, and lived leadership insight to shift how teams think and feel about work.

What You Get

A speaker who's lived both sides: scaling success and hitting the wall.

Conversations that cut through noise and surface symptoms to shift how your teams operate.

Recognition that you’re not the problem (you’re caught in systems that weren’t built for human thriving) and practical ways to work differently.

  • “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. He’s an engaging, inspiring speaker who makes complex ideas easy to grasp and turns them into practical insights people can apply right away. Whether it’s a leadership event or a large-scale broadcast, Steve always delivers with energy, clarity, and a flawless presence.”

  • “Steve is a unique speaker. He brings a calm, engaging presence that invites people to pause, reflect, and slow down — with the intent of going faster. 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.”

Signature sessions that spark change

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

Why now: As AI transforms how we work, the real question isn't how to use it. It's how to stay human.

What you'll leave with: A clear framework for identifying which human capabilities to double down on in your organisation, plus specific strategies to protect and amplify creativity, judgment, and connection as AI handles more routine work.

2. When Leadership Breaks Us

Why now: High performers are quietly burning out, chasing success that doesn't feel like theirs.

What you'll leave with: Tools to spot the early warning signs of unsustainable leadership, and a roadmap for realigning work with energy, integrity, and long-term impact.

3. The Performance Paradox

Why now: Teams don't underperform from lack of effort, but from a broken idea of what performance is.

What you'll leave with: A new way to measure team health alongside output, and specific interventions to improve both wellbeing and results.
