Keynotes & Workshops
With over 15 years of experience in the wellness and leadership sectors, I have lived and experienced the need for wellness in the workplace. It is amazing how many people have either known someone, or been the someone themselves, who have had a major health scare or life event that triggers the need to focus on wellness. If only we could gain the lesson without the experience.
Each presentation is tailored to the specific needs and interests of the audience, with the goal to move wellness knowledge the 30cm journey from the head to the heart, where it becomes an active and vibrant part of our lives.
Presentations are designed to be interactive and engaging, with opportunities for audience participation and Q&A sessions. Individuals and organizations will walk away from our time ready to prioritize their health and well-being, leading to improved overall health outcomes and increased productivity in the workplace.

Keynote & Workshop Topics
Anchored in Wellness: Thriving Amidst The Complexity
Life isn’t getting simpler. The demands are real, the roles we carry are many, and the pressure to keep it all together rarely lets up. But what if, instead of waiting until we break, we built lives that hold us steady before the storm hits?
This keynote goes beyond managing burnout. It is about designing a life that can hold complexity without falling apart. Anchored in Wellness invites you to step back from the noise and ask: What am I building beneath me that will keep me grounded when things get hard?
We will explore what it means to cultivate real wellbeing, not as a checklist, but as a foundation you can rely on. You will learn how to recognize early signs of strain, strengthen your support network, and take intentional steps toward a life that is sustainable, connected, and aligned with your values.
This session is not about organizational wellness policies. It is about you. And yet, as we build our own anchors, we naturally create healthier cultures around us. The way we show up ripples outward. When we are grounded, we create space for others to thrive as well.
Whether you are navigating stress, seeking more alignment, or ready to lead your life with greater intention, this keynote is an invitation to come home to yourself and build something sturdy enough to carry you through life’s complexity.
Steven’s presentation on wellness was not only engaging but also incredibly insightful. His passion for wellness shines through, and his workshop was a valuable reminder of the importance of taking care of our well-being. Thank you, Steven, for an eye-opening session!
Healthy Leaders, Healthy Teams: Designing a Healthy Workplace Culture
Leadership is not just about driving results or being the boss. It is about creating the conditions where people can do their best work without burning out in the process.
The way leaders show up shapes everything. Strategy, culture, trust, performance, and wellbeing. This keynote is for leaders who are done with burnout cycles, vague wellness goals, and systems that rely on people to push through instead of feeling supported.
We break down what actually creates healthy, high-performing teams. We move past vague wellness goals and look directly at the habits, systems, and leadership practices that either support people or slowly wear them down.
You will learn how to lead with clarity over control. That means defining priorities, setting clear expectations, and helping people focus on what matters without drowning in noise. We will explore how intentional leadership reduces friction, prevents overwhelm, and leads to more effective and efficient work, without lowering standards.
We will look at what happens when leaders create systems that support people instead of relying on them to push through. From team structure to workflow to recognition, you will learn how to spot fragile systems and redesign them to improve trust, autonomy, and collaboration.
We will unpack the early warning signs of burnout, and how to lead in ways that catch quiet struggles before they spiral into disengagement. You will leave with practical strategies to strengthen your team’s baseline health and create a work environment where people feel safe, motivated, and supported.
When leaders are intentional about how they lead, they create teams that perform better, stay longer, and feel proud of the work they do. Strong teams do not happen by chance. They are the outcome of leading with intention. Because healthy teams start with healthy leaders.
In February, I attended the AISCA Teachers Convention, where I unexpectedly found myself registered for two sessions with Steven: "Thriving not Surviving" and "Healthy Leaders, Healthy Teams." Steven proved to be an outstanding facilitator, bringing both real-life experiences and statistical facts to support his presentations. His sessions were highly interactive, featuring engaging examples and informative videos that captivated the audience. Walking away from both sessions, I felt equipped with valuable insights. Impressed by Steven's expertise, I enthusiastically recommended him to my boss for our upcoming professional development (PD) sessions. Consequently, we booked him for our staff, and he led a session titled "Knowing Me, Knowing You." Once again, Steven delivered an exceptional session, and feedback from the staff was overwhelmingly positive, underscoring his effectiveness as a presenter.
Knowing Me Knowing You: Designing a Healthy Workplace Culture
How often do we think we have been clear, only to discover our message missed the mark? Not because we said the wrong thing, but because we were speaking from our own lens while the person across from us was tuned in to a completely different frequency.
Knowing Me, Knowing You is an interactive and insightful workshop that helps teams move beyond generic communication tips and into something far more powerful. Built on the evidence-based T.L.C. ™ model, this session explores how people think, learn, and communicate through the lens of their values, lived experience, and personal wiring.
This workshop goes deeper than style assessments or surface-level insights. It equips participants to understand how their past experiences, decision-making habits, and natural strengths influence the way they interpret, deliver, and receive information. Through engaging activities, self-assessments, and real-time application, we create space for personal discovery and team-wide connection.
Participants will learn how to:
• Recognize their own strengths, tendencies, and stress responses
• Communicate in ways that build trust and clarity, especially under pressure
• Translate personal insight into practical strategies that support team wellness and performance
At it’s core, this session is about moving from default to intention. It is a mindset shift. When we take the time to understand ourselves and others, we shift from autopilot to relationships that are rooted in trust, empathy, and clarity. This is how teams move from friction to flow. This is where strong culture begins.
Today, the BHD leadership team learned about effective communication to support healthy leadership, identifying areas of potential conflict and developing strategies for authentically addressing them. When employees are healthy, happy, and engaged, they can be more productive, more creative, and more committed to their work. Well By Design aims to create a culture that values employee well-being and encourages success for all.
Culture Catalysts: Igniting Workplace Wellness
What if your workplace culture was not something you had to survive, but something that made you stronger? Culture lives in the way people speak to each other, how teams handle pressure, who gets heard, and who gets overlooked. It shows up in the small decisions, the day-to-day interactions, and the way we navigate tension, offer support, and recover when things go sideways.
This keynote goes beneath the surface to examine the culture that actually exists. The real one. The one shaped by workload expectations, trust, inclusion, psychological safety, and unspoken norms. It brings honest reflection to the table, but also a better way forward.
Culture Catalysts is built on data. It brings clarity to what supports wellbeing, what quietly erodes it, and how organizations can build systems that sustain people instead of wearing them down. We will explore what creates belonging, what drives burnout, and how teams can work together with more alignment and less strain.
This session speaks to every level within your team who want their values to match their work, who want their contributions to matter, and who want to be part of a workplace where people can actually thrive.
Together, we will unpack how culture can either drain us or carry us. We will look at what needs to shift, and how to make those shifts stick. You will leave with clear strategies that can be used right away, whether you lead the organization or simply care deeply about where you work.
This keynote is a rallying point for teams ready to stop reacting and start creating. When culture is designed with intention, people notice. They trust it. They stay.
You're a master of the stage Steven! The way you connect with your audience and drive home the insights was wonderful to watch. Knowledge bomb after knowledge bomb had me leaning forward and nodding the whole time as I could relate to so many of the struggles that come along with being a leader in my business while attempting to find a balance in my personal life. Some were tough to hear, but it was all good to hear. I'm inspired to improve. Thank you!
Steven delivered a keynote presentation at our recent Professional Development Day for Kepler Academy. He crafted a targeted presentation for almost 300 of our early childhood educators, talking about wellness at work, creating a culture of wellness/support, and how to show up as your best self. His points hit directly home to our audience and team, and they loved it! For a childcare provider, it was a wonderful presentation full of helpful tools. Highly recommend!
Remote But Not Removed: Creating Virtual Culture That Connects
Remote work has opened doors, expanded talent pools, and redefined flexibility. But keeping people connected, engaged, and committed in this new landscape takes more than good intentions.
Cultivating Connections invites leaders and teams to rethink how culture lives and breathes when people are not in the same room. It is about designing connection on purpose, building systems that support well-being, and creating the kind of clarity that helps people stay focused without feeling isolated.
We talk honestly about what happens when disconnection sets in, and what it takes to bring people back into alignment. From burnout to blurred boundaries, from fractured communication to team drift, this session explores how to rebuild trust, spark collaboration, and make remote work feel more human.
Presence still matters. Relationships still matter. This keynote helps you make them real, even through a screen.
If your team is remote, hybrid, or somewhere in between, this is your chance to stop just surviving the shift and start shaping a workplace where people can thrive, wherever they are.

Echoes of Wisdom: Insights From The Past For a Thriving Future
What if the future of wellness, leadership, and connection is not about chasing the next trend, but instead lies in the wisdom of our past?
Echoes of Wisdom invites you into a powerful conversation about what generations before us understood about living well. This keynote weaves together lessons from the past with the challenges of today, offering a fresh, thoughtful perspective on what it really means to thrive in life and in work.
We explore what it looked like to be present without being constantly available, and how moments of stillness once created space for clarity and reflection. We revisit the strength that comes from setting boundaries during uncertain times and the quiet courage it takes to live with integrity when the world pulls you in every direction.
These themes are not relics. They are reminders. And right now, they are more relevant than ever. By reflecting on what truly matters and how we can apply those insights to our current lives, we gain clarity on how to prioritize wellness, connection, and purpose in both our personal and professional lives.
Through compelling storytelling and rich insight, we explore how previous generations lived with more presence, protected what mattered most, and showed up with clarity and conviction. You will walk away with real strategies for building stronger connections at work, creating healthier rhythms in life, and leading across generations with empathy and intention.
Today, we are presented with a unique opportunity to navigate diverse experiences in a multigenerational workforce. As we navigate this complex environment, we are reminded to consider what future generations will one day say about how we lived, led, and showed up for each other.
In a time of constant noise and pressure, Echoes of Wisdom offers clarity. It invites you to lead differently, live more intentionally, and create a culture that honors your values and leaves a legacy you can be proud of.
Wow! Your passion and heart really come through Steve! Seriously inspiring and love how it feels like a new way of thinking, not just the same stuff packaged differently. Mind shift moments are far and few these days, you definitely created one of these moments for myself today.
