Why do so many leaders make decisions that choose profit over people? In this inspiring session based on his TEDx talk, Stephen shows leaders how to overcome traditional training that conditions us to put people last too often. You’ll learn why people-first leadership is actually the best way to profit, identify critical moments when the needs of people are in the balance, and build confidence to stand out as a great leader of people. Build a legacy you can be proud of with a seasoned corporate leader who has used people-first leadership to get results for 20+ years.

Have you heard that technologists make bad leaders? It’s a lie. In this empowering and thought-provoking talk, Stephen shows you how technologists break the mold of traditional leadership and stand out as brilliant leaders. You’ll debunk the myth that you don’t have the people skills, discover talents that other leaders wish they had, and learn how to ignite your career to lead technology organizations. Accelerate your path to great leadership with an engineer-turned-executive who has been breaking molds for 20+ years.

Are you frustrated with needy Gen Z technologists that you lead? You might be the problem. In this blunt but amusing talk, Stephen shows you why their needs are not only fair–but they’re also exactly what technology industries need. You’ll decode the leadership language of Gen Z, crush old leadership habits that are holding you both back, and learn how to build loyalty–yes loyalty!--with Gen Z technologists. Bridge the generational gap in the tech workplace with a seasoned leader who also happens to be a dad to two Gen Z technologists.
