Steve's enthusiasm and passion for his work is intoxicating. I worked with him on a project team to look at core values and how, as a group, we could embed this into the company culture. He takes the time to listen to people's opinions - both positive and negative - at all levels of the organisation and is able to harness these thoughts into tangible goals to drive improvement. In the time I worked with Steve he was a driving force for improvement throughout the organisation. He is able to present to senior leadership how small step-by-step improvements can lead to greater business potential and engage the staff to get on board with change whilst making the whole process a fun and exciting experience. It is a testament to Steve that even now after a number years of not working together I often talk to new members of staff about the change he brought to the business. I would highly recommend him and also I would snap up the opportunity to work with him again.

Are you considering a leadership transformation and need support? Steve is your guy! I had the pleasure to work with Steve as he supported our site's leadership journey to evolve from a primarily performance focus team to one that drove purpose, people and process as top priorities. Steve's ability to build trust within moments of meeting someone is absolutely amazing. His calm and soothing demeanour puts everyone at ease and was essential in supporting our team's transformation. Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are still reaping benefits from the leadership changes he inspired.

I had the opportunity of working with Steve on a project that was aimed at implementing and improving a global GMP service. The business at hand was not an area that Steve had a lot of experience in. But he made it his job to learn the business, and the requirements, so he could effectively lead. Throughout the project, Steve facilitated intense, focused working sessions, each lasting two days. Steve's excellent ability to prepare, and his endless energy, was the key to our work session success. He managed the work in a way that encouraged everyone to participate, and to feel very satisfied with our accomplishments. I have facilitated many sessions such as this, so I have a special sensitivity to Steve's task. I can honestly say that Steve is one of the best facilitators hands down. I recommend Steve highly.

Being a great coach is an art form; not everyone can do it easily. Steve makes it seem like an effortlessly learnt skill, a talent in which few people excel. Whether you are a coach, leader, manager or head of a site leadership team, you will also benefit from his huge range of experience. Steve is a very effective coach, not only communicates well and helps others to get results, but guides, motivates and inspires.

A fantastic leader who takes you along on this great journey one which is full of fun, enthusiasm and knowledge. Steve practices what he preaches and I learned a vast amount from him, not only on a professional level, but also personally. Several times a week for four years I would knock at Steve’s office door and ask questions or seek his advice and not once did he refuse or complain. Steve is meticulous in everything he does plus he has a great sense of humour. I believe people “buy” people and no matter what your engagement is with Steve you will not be disappointed.

I have had the pleasure of working with and being coached by Steve. His planning, research and attention to detail around a subject makes his leadership and coaching sessions an extremely positive experience. He has the ability to engage people at all levels of an organisation and bring everyone along on the journey. He makes individuals feel comfortable and relaxed and welcomes participation and dialogue. He makes the purpose of any sessions clear from the onset so people understand why they are being asked to participate (because there is nothing worse than being in a workshop and not understanding why you're there!!) He will question current thinking and encourage participants to challenge the norm, while making it fun, inclusive and giving people ideas and skills to make improvements in their everyday roles.
