“An almost mandatory podcast for anyone trying to better understand what it means to become a great leader (and not only the creative type!). Wonderful, clear, sharp and abolutely right.”

“It’s as if Stephen has been looking over our shoulders and taking notes. He speaks to the heart and soul of creativity, his advice and insight is like having a mentor on podcast speed dial.”

“I cannot emphasize enough the impact it’s made on myself personally and professionally.

I’ve turned many on to it technically NOT in the creative field… – my beau in the Oil industry as a consultant/engineer that cleans refineries, a PR colleague is now glued to the episodes about personal branding as she starts her own consultancy,my sister a lab technician in a hospital is starting to see herself differently after the “Success is a Choice” episode. I could go on… And as one who aspires to change the way Creatives work and are seen in society, this is one of my solid resources for inspiration as well as a constant barrage of ‘a-ha’s’!”

Interested in having me speak at your event? I'm an internationally accomplished speaker who has worked with small groups for companies like IDEO and Apple to large international keynotes speaking alongside Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Nest founder Tony Faddel, Martha Stewart and more. My talks about creativity, design, and leadership are consistently scored by attendees as one of the best talks at every event. LEARN MORE >
