Steve has a unique way of challenging our thinking, both individually, and as a group of partners with different perspectives, we each bring to our roles. While so many coaches talk about goals, he focuses on commitments. It is in those personal and collective commitments that he has helped us to drill down to the essentials of what makes Horizon great as we strive toward an even bigger future.

Pete Bush

CEO, Horizon Financial

I began working with Steve in an effort to create a life that includes a full professional schedule with a lot of travel and a deep desire to be supportive of my nearby adult children and their growing families while maintaining my peace and sanity. Steve was incredibly skilled in helping me sort through my emotions and set goals and boundaries that I could put into practice immediately. I highly recommend Steve’s services as both a personal and professional coach.

Maria Parker

CEO of Cruzbike, Inc

Although I’ve been established for 25 years, growth is still fundamental. Working with Steve has been a true investment in myself and my business. He has challenged me to prepare for future challenges and endeavors

Jim Urdiales

Owner, Mestizo Restaurant

We brought Steve on board in early fall 2022 to work with our up-and-coming managers, to support them in their new roles as people managers and leaders of our organization. Steve coaches a few of them individually & we plan to continue our relationship moving forward with other managers as well. Steve created a space for our managers to reflect on their leadership skills and areas where they can maximize their skills. The feedback we got from those who were coached by Steve is that Steve asks thought provoking questions, allows space for reflection and provides helpful strategies that they can implement in their roles. We look forward to continuing working with Steve.

Elena Agaragimova

Talent Acquisition & Development Manager, Horizon Industries

What brought me to Steve was that I knew he was organized, self-motivated, and intentional, all things which I admired. In our first 10 weeks, he helped me get the ball rolling with some personal and professional hurdles, which is why I’ve decided to continue working with him. Working with Steve is betting on myself, and the active progress feels amazing.

Steve’s energy and coaching concepts were exactly what we needed to take our team retreat to the next level. Our team was engaged the entire time because Steve made it fun, interesting and kept the conversation flowing.

Butch Reiser

HR Business Partner at Little Caesars

I hired Steve because I needed to start thinking of my business from the perspective of a CEO as opposed to that of a worker. I was really pleased with the experience Steve provided over the 12 months he coached me and feel a great deal of benefit from his coaching. Our work allowed for me to get focused on the business and help me come up with the insights required to where it is now performing better than ever.
