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
Thriving Not Surviving: Building Sustainable Habits for Wellness
More than ever, mental health and wellness is an important aspect of a healthy workplace culture and environment. When people are healthy and organizations focus on wellness, it leads to loyalty and engagement, higher productivity, reduced absenteeism and illness, and a better overall workplace.
In this engagement, participants will explore how to cultivate personal and professional habits for wellness, how to recognize and mitigate signs of burnout in themselves and their colleagues. We dive deep into personal and professional wellness strategies that will lead to a healthy, productive and successful team.
I am amazed how many people put all of their effort into the success of their career and life from a knowledge and ability point of view, and just expect their wellness to always be there for them. But you know what they say: “When you have your health you have a thousand wishes – when you don’t you only have one.”
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
Leaders play an incredibly important role in the creation and support of healthy workplace cultures. By Intentionally promoting wellness habits, and living them out in the workplace, leaders inherently give permission for their teams to do the same.
The challenge is that too often, leaders try to lead as they would want to be led, rather than leading as their team truly wants and needs them to lead. By understanding how the keys to effective leadership, how to navigate complex challenges and empower your team, leaders learn how to move their teams forward in a sustainable, productive way.
This engagement prepares leaders and aspiring leaders for effectively leading their organization to a healthy workplace culture.
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 Schools." 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: Aligning Your Core Workplace Teams

Working with the proven T.L.C. model, participants will develop highly effective people skills as they acquire an awareness of the natural tendencies and behaviours of themselves and their teams.
By the end of this workshop, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of who they are as leaders or aspiring leaders, their own natural and developed strengths and abilities, how to align your core working teams, and how to communicate with confidence.
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.

NARIMs hosted Steven as a speaker for one of our speaking series, where we dove into understanding the root cause behind quiet quitting, the great resignation and burnout. Steven was personable in his presentation as he provided real stories to engage the audience in more profound thought.
The presentation discussed metrics to track within an organization and how to communicate with HR stakeholders to ensure the organization’s health is addressed. Steven provided a well-thought-out presentation, engaged the audience on a deeper level and provided great insight into this risk.
