Throughout my career evolution as a multi-media developer, software developer, project leader, and product manager, what has almost always made or broken the initiatives that I was involved with was the leadership and communication between the management and the employees who were doing the actual work. This was plainly obvious to me.

My real successes have been based more on leadership and communication than the hard skill work that I was actually doing. Of course, that was what I was being paid for and what I needed to ultimately deliver. However, it was leadership and communication skills that made the difference in delivering what was wanted on time and with more value than what was asked for.

As I ascended to higher levels, where my leadership and communication skills were more the focus of my responsibilities, I have been able to amplify the results in:

  • forging strong trust-based relationships,
  • reducing wasted money by creating teams that gel and work at their peak performance levels,
  • empowering team members to work at their peak levels while also working towards their respective career goals.

After my years of lessons learned and skills developed, I am happy to help you move along in your journey to understand and develop your inner strength as a leader.

Very respectfully,

Service offerings

Do any of these issues cross your mind or keep you up at night? If so, leadership development consulting and coaching may be a good solution for you.

One-on-One Coaching

Do your annual reviews reflect a work performance level that you know is beneath your capabilities? Do you need to enhance your skills to compete more effectively for a promotion? Are you taking the initiative to get the "grooming" that is not present in your organization?

Team Optimization

Is your team operating at lower than expected productivity levels? Are your stakeholders losing confidence in it? Has it lost the esprit de corps that it once had? All of which affects your bottom line!

Leadership Team Development

Are your managers not developing the trust and respect with clients that you would like them to? Are they not sparking the level of intra-team collaboration that you expect? Is your work environment reputed to be toxic, with people turning over? All of which affects your bottom line!

Presentation Coaching

Are your presentations not coming across as effectively as you would like? Are the stakeholders that you are presenting to hostile and dissatisfied afterwards? Or are they satisfied and curious to know just a little more? This affects your stature with them.

Philosophy on Leadership Development

Great leaders are not born that way, they are molded and shaped into it over time. They are built. Yes, they are born with the innate sensibilities and traits, such as emotional intelligence, that are essential to leadership. However, it takes mentoring and coaching over time to develop the possessor of those traits into a leader.

With a focus on team level performance and results delivery, my goal is to help managers and directors develop into the best leaders that they can be. By collaborating with them to develop their spheres of influence, they will develop their abilities to both amplify the performance of their teams as well as create healthier environments for them to work in.

For this to work at peak effectiveness, these leaders also need strong skills for parlaying with their higher ups and stakeholders. This is so they can garner trust and respect as partners, being seen as leaders who help take on big challenges rather than mere managers who just know how to get work done. This will enable a stronger context for the teams to succeed in, knowing that their stakeholders “have their back.”

Speaking engagements

Steve has delivered presentations on leadership fundamentals and case studies to PMI chapters as well as a career development group in the Baltimore-DC area.
