Our staff received so much more than just qualifications from Steve’s ILM Training; we now have tools, techniques, and a common language for talking about and improving how we manage and lead. We are more productive, stronger, and more resilient, and we definitely plan to keep working with Steve.

ONLINE ILM and Non-accredited Courses Available

Online ILM and non-accredited leadership specialist I am an accredited leadership trainer, providing dynamic, enjoyable training, and coaching. Of course, things changed, a lot. Fortunately, after a few technical hilarities in the early days, I have now provided a number of training courses on Zoom. I won’t bore you by saying how good the courses are, because I would say that. But the testimonials are in, and we can all breathe a sigh of relief. It works. Well. Contact me or check the training page for more details.

A little insight into what I do

Welcome to my site, I’m Steve.

You might have already noticed there’s something missing from this website, especially if you’ve looked into self-improvement or coaching before:

“Where’s the guide to ‘unlocking your potential’? Don’t you want to help me ‘achieve my goals’?”

There’s no doubt that the right coaching and training does that, but this you probably already know. Have a look around. Rather than cliches and generic advice, you’ll find lessons drawn from real, personal, experience. My background as a performer has given me some fantastic insights into people, audiences and creative thinking. In fact, it’s what makes working with me different to anything you’ll have come across before. I want to give you something you can actually use, in a way that inspires you, personally.

“But I don’t need a coach…”

Podcasts and books are great, but nothing compares to looking another human in the eye. If you would hire a trainer to get in shape or learn a language, why not get one to improve your performance professionally or emotionally? Is it possible you’re making things unnecessarily hard for yourself? With the right coach, you can test your methods and ideas in a low-risk context, and clarify your next steps.

“OK, but why should I go with you?”

Well, this is the bit I hate. Because I’m clearly writing about myself. Good coaching completely depends on your feeling about the coach. So it would be ridiculous to claim that I can help everyone with anything. One thing I’ve noticed is that many coaches are unqualified, undertrained and haven’t really ‘lived it’, and many people have said that I seem to get it. But again that’s for you to decide.

As for the training, my background of performing and my own training, research and facilitation for the last ten years has provided me with confidence and a high level of knowledge. Basically, I’m good at communicating to groups of people and I know my stuff. Check out the training page for more of that.

“Sounds good, but I still have some questions”

If you are interested in finding out more, get in touch and we can arrange a call, Skype or coffee.

In my experience, we are all capable of getting good at anything we want to, and it’s so much easier not to go it alone.

Why?

I live and breath the concepts and models I share. My presentations are informal, enjoyable and honest. Maybe a little too honest sometimes. I’m kind of an open book. But it’s not about me, it’s about those learning to create new habits and to enhance the organisation and their place in it. Authentic leadership training creates massive improvement, so invest in the improvement of your people and your business.
What?

From a one-hour keynote to the 10 day Leadership course, I have received my training from the best. This, coupled with my experience, gives me the tools to tailor a development programme to your needs. I can help with advanced communication skills, emotional intelligence, presentations, self-development, teams, work relationships, resilience, values, productivity, and motivation. Talk to me to find out more.
How?

Don’t expect a formal presentational style or a robotic coaching checklist. My unique performance background has taught me the power of authentic and natural communication. So, although I am an experienced corporate entertainer, I am obsessed with connecting with my audience in a meaningful way. It’s not all about me, but I must say I do enjoy it, and have a very nice time.
Now What?

So I’ve done the obligatory sales pitch, but please don’t take my word for it. Read what real people have to say. My training must meet your needs and the needs of your organisation, if not, it won’t work for either of us. Feel free to get in touch, and we’ll find out if we’re a good fit.

Get in touch now with any questions

It really is a little difficult to get this over on a site, so please have a browse, have a read (yes I know you’re busy but this really could, and very probably would, create huge positive change for your business or organisation), and ask any questions at all.
