As an Executive Coach, Strategic Leader, and Advisor, Steven analyses business issues from a strategic perspective and identifies innovative approaches to address requirements and challenges.
As humans, we often want to accomplish things quickly, which leads to action being taken without first identifying the objective that will bring the highest return. Identifying the best actions to take, and moving with that in mind, gives us the optimum path to success.
Steven brings his corporate experience of responsibility for enterprise scale business, including sales / growth, P&L and operational delivery of full-service range (consultancy and change programmes, to operational IT services) to multiple clients including crisis management and business
turnarounds.
Testimonials
Steven's approach combined a deep understanding of the issues with a breadth of knowledge and experience drawn from his previous work to give us far more than we expected. He made a particular effort to understand both the hair & beauty sector and the trade association ethos. His empathetic nature enabled him to build trust in his work and process, even amongst some of those who were unsure or to some initial degree sceptical of the project.
"... Steven prepared a guidance document which we used to help structure our approach when developing our strategy, including when creating a framework for implementing change across the business. We were provided with excellent and meaningful guidance which helped us navigate complex decisions relating to prioritisation, and the practical advice given means that we now have a very real strategy and clear direction for the next couple of years ..."
"Steven has been an asset to the Alqami advisory board providing strategic advice from marketing and market positioning, through to creating an optimal customer journey. Steven is very passionate about everything he gets involved with and provides us with support and advice beyond what is expected. He is professional and combines his corporate experience with his innovative mindset which gives him a unique and broad perspective that we really value."
We commisssioned Steven to undertake a research project with our Board, members and staff to gain a clear sense of where we were, what were the perceptions and expectations of our key stakeholders and what we could do to make our aspiration a reality. The report he produced broadened our understanding, gave us many clear insights and set out a strategic programme, together with an action plan for the first year.
"I worked with Steven when he was a lead facilitator of executive development workshops on leading through people, situational self-awareness and tolerance of ambiguity. Steven brings a clarity of approach and focus on the outcomes with an inclusive facilitation style that really engages participants. Steven brings his experience and knowledge of strategic leadership in a way that inspires and facilitates transformational learning. I would highly recommend Steven for strategic consultancy and executive leadership development and coaching.”
