Brad Jung, Board Member, Financial Services Executive
I began working with Steven during a pivotal time in my career, facing major leadership decisions and balancing business growth with personal commitments. Steven's coaching was not generic; he asked the right questions, challenged my assumptions, and helped me break down complex decisions into clear, actionable steps.
Steven's coaching is rooted in real experience. He understands the pressures of leading a business, making high-stakes decisions, and managing transitions because he has done it himself. He helped me refine my leadership approach and make choices aligned with my long-term goals and personal priorities.
Steven also coached several of my direct reports, significantly impacting their individual growth and our team's overall performance. His guidance improved their decision-making and leadership skills, which elevated our organization.
What stood out most was Steven's ability to balance strategic insight with practical execution. He helped me structure my next steps, hold myself accountable, and navigate challenges with confidence and clarity.
Steven is not the coach for those seeking to hear only what they want. However, if you want a trusted advisor who will push you to think differently, make better decisions, and lead purposefully, I highly recommend working with him.
John Cooper, Financial Services Exec. and Board Member
I have had the pleasure of knowing Steven for some 20 years, first as someone I could rely on for thoughtful, sound advice, and soon after that as a great friend. His direct manner and understanding of the challenges of leadership, and many different businesses and technology, will serve his clients well.
Christina J. Chua, Entrepreneur
I met Steven at a crucial moment in my start-up/entrepreneurial journey when I had to shift from a “passion project” mindset to expanding the team and fundraising. He became more than a life coach. He’s a mentor and someone I deeply admire for how grounded, honest, principled, encouraging, and empathetic he is. High performance without stress has become a mantra for me, and I can’t thank him more for the wisdom he’s imparted!
Siobhan Lomba, IT Executive
I have had the great fortune of working with Steven for several years. He is a tremendous leader who truly cares and invests the time to support and coach those he manages and works with. He makes genuine connections, learns the strengths of those around him, and can effectively leverage the power of the collective team. In addition to being a great leader and visionary, Steven is also a wonderful human being committed to helping others.
Alex Rabinovich, Financial Services Executive
Steven is a thoughtful, strategic leader who also empowers others. His extensive experience in corporate and entrepreneurial environments is invaluable to anyone seeking to become a better professional and a more effective leader. His approach is personalized, flexible, and results-oriented. The impact is clear and significant.
Eunice Yu, Primary Care Physician, Patient-Centered Innovator
Steven helped me understand my intrinsic motivators and work out concrete steps in incorporating more of them into my life. By the end of our sessions, I had a clear understanding of the next steps in my life and career, as well as how to move in that direction with a 90-day plan. I strongly recommend Steven as a coach if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed. His deep background in tech and healthcare is a bonus for those in adjacent fields.
PJ Christie, Founder and CEO
Steven is a great coach. He's been there and done that. Coaching Metta is an excellent description of his approach - there's a need for kindness in our lives and benevolence in our business practices. For Steven, these are foundational executive values. Highly recommend.
Danny N. Kabeya, Financial Services Exec.
I strongly recommend Steven as an executive coach. He has been life-changing in helping me in my journey of self-discovery. The results are unequivocal: I have better quality time with my family and alignment with my business objectives.
Mitchell Fried, Strategy and Operations
Steven is a natural leader, and one that seems to constantly improve. I learned an unquantifiable amount from Steven, across a range of disciplines, including how to operate a successful startup, and how to maximize my own work output. I'm appreciative of the time I worked with him, and I would eagerly work with him again in the future.
