I help people develop into great leaders who are able to build sustainable, high-performing teams!
Hi Everyone!
Steve is a former Officer in the Royal Navy Submarine Service, having initially joined as an Engineering Apprentice. During his 33 year career he trained Naval Officers in leadership and management in preparation for them taking up their roles onboard. He was fortunate to have benefitted from secondments to a number of commercial defence companies during his service. Additionally he spent some time within the Diplomatic arena, reporting directly to two senior UK Ambassadors in the Middle East and chairing meetings on behalf of the United Nations. After retiring from active service in 2018, he now fulfils a senior role within the commercial sector.
He has over 35 years experience of developing and growing leaders within a multitude of challenging operating environments.
This makes him well-placed to assist anyone who aspires to be a great leader, and to help set them up for future career success.
What people are saying...
Ben B
Marketer/Podcast Host
"As a head of department for a fast growing start up company, I found myself in a position where I wasn't able to get the management, coaching and support that I needed to develop as a good leader. With Steve's background in both military and civilian organizations, he provided me with a strong backbone of practical techniques that I could use to both lead and manage my department. One process in particular, the performance improvement procedure, has really lifted a weight off my shoulders and made running my team easier. I would highly recommend Steve as an executive coach."
