Steve’s great strength is that he communicates with empathy, is always on your side, but doesn’t pull any punches.  He highlights areas that need development but doesn’t do so with a critical lens, rather with compassion and as an advocate.  He excels at identifying what might be blocking both personal and organizational growth and is relentless about making progress.  He understands certain obstacles are harder to move than others and recognizes timelines are not fixed.  He’s also excellent at vision work. I’ve often seen him collaborate on what a paradigm shift can do for people — including me.  He’s a kind, highly intelligent, natural advocate and coach.
