Testimonials

Steve’s journey captivates the heart and mind. The audience hangs off every word as he takes you through the challenges and triumphs he has faced. He makes you realise how quick life can change but also the very real reality that facing up to challenges when you want to turn away, as well as embracing the vulnerability they bring, can present priceless opportunities.

I would like to personally thank Steve for his inspiring and insightful speech at our Global HR Summit last week in Munich. I am extremely grateful for the time and effort he took to share his experiences with our HR Community. His insights were highly valued, and we received nothing but hugely positive feedback on Steve’s presentation. We would also like to express our appreciation for the fact that he took the time to stay longer, allowing our participants to converse with him before and during the lunch break.

Steve was absolutely amazing, the “first time ever” our members gave a standing ovation at the end of his talk. Absolutely everyone commented on how moving, entertaining and humorous he was. We would thoroughly recommend him for any future bookings. Thank you so much for your recommendation, not sure how “we/you” will be able to top this for next year, certainly going to be a challenge!
