Whether you are organizing an event or you need a speaker to inspire a group of leaders, you owe it to your audience to get more than just another talk. What you need is someone who can flip their perspective on how they think about leadership, communication and team collaboration.
Here’s an uncomfortable truth many people know: Many leadership speakers offer motivational messages that feel good in the moment but fade quickly. Their talk is a lot like a sugar rush and once it wears off, people realize they cannot apply much of what they heard.
Your people face real challenges and they deserve more than just another talk. They deserve a speaker with real-world experience that comes from being in the trenches working with leadership teams in various industries. They deserve to have a speaker that can interact with them live about their issues and get concrete ideas they can apply.
Steffan is the speaker your audience needs and deserves.
Steffan is a passionate bilingual speaker who fills his keynote speeches with authentic stories and straight talk drawn from real leadership challenges. His real-world experience working with leaders and their leadership teams means your audience gets practical wisdom they can apply immediately—not just theory.
Not afraid to tell it like he sees it, he challenges his audiences and leaves them feeling motivated and inspired to think about their leadership in a new light.
As both a senior leadership advisor and author of “The Way of the Co-Creative Leader,” Steffan brings depth and real-world experience to every speaking engagement. His insights have been featured on Forbes.com and other leading platforms, but his greatest value comes from being in the trenches with leadership teams across various industries.
Are you struggling to get the full potential from your team? Do you feel like you’re carrying all the weight of leadership while untapped talent sits idle around you?
In this dynamic keynote, Steffan reveals the five key skills of co-creative leadership that transform traditional top-down management into a powerful collective force. Drawing from over a decade of leadership consulting, he’ll show you exactly how to identify dormant leaders, create environments where everyone contributes, and build teams that innovate naturally.
This isn’t just about learning new skills—it’s about fundamentally transforming how you lead and how others experience your leadership. Imagine walking into a Monday meeting where your team takes ownership, collaborates effortlessly, and drives results without constant direction.
In recent sessions, leaders have reported dramatic improvements in team engagement, faster project completion, and innovative solutions to longstanding problems—all by applying these co-creative principles.

How much is your organization paying in “conversational interest” every day? Those uncomfortable topics everyone avoids, the feedback that never gets delivered, the conflicts that simmer just below the surface—they’re all costing you more than you realize.
In this eye-opening keynote, Steffan reveals how conversational debt silently erodes team trust, stalls innovation, and prevents your organization from reaching its full potential. You’ll discover why even high-performing teams struggle with crucial conversations and how addressing this invisible debt creates immediate improvements in collaboration.
Steffan will show you how to identify conversational debt in your organization, understand its true cost, and implement practical strategies to start paying it down. Imagine a workplace where difficult topics aren’t avoided but transformed into catalysts for growth and innovation.
Recent participants have described this talk as “a lightbulb moment” that changed how they approach team communication forever.

Have you ever pushed yourself past your limits in the name of resilience? You know, those moments where you keep telling yourself “Don’t give up!” “Keep pushing, you’ll get through this!” for months but beneath it all you are really feeling like you are just so fed up with being resilient and you have nothing left.
In this deeply personal session, Steffan will share his experience of being an entrepreneur running a business while also being a parent fighting for his child in a medical system with no clear answers. Through powerful storytelling and practical insights, you’ll learn how to recognize when traditional resilience becomes harmful, how to establish boundaries that protect your wellbeing, and how to access strength through vulnerability rather than through constant pushing.
Imagine facing your greatest challenges not by exhausting your last reserves, but by transforming your relationship with resilience itself. Picture having the tools to maintain your leadership presence even when feeling utterly powerless, and the wisdom to know when pushing through is harmful rather than helpful.
Join me for this transformative conversation about redefining strength in leadership. Whether you’re facing personal crisis, professional challenges, or supporting someone who is, you’ll leave with a profound new understanding of what it truly means to be resilient in a world that often misunderstands the concept entirely.
