Founder’s story
Get REAL
After almost 30 years in leadership roles, I’ve done the job, walked in your shoes, experienced the tough side and the crazy, intoxicating highs of leading successful teams.
“When I left the corporate world, I wanted to do more than simply become another consultant – I read the testimonials from my many colleagues and the common thread was the value placed on my leadership style and approach. I realised my vision was right there: to challenge the current notion of leadership.”
And challenging leadership means highlighting the lack of strong leadership not only within business but also the wider world.
Who is really standing out as a great leader in today’s world?
Who are people turning to for inspiration or support?
Who are the leadership role-models for the younger generation?
Leadership is the common thread throughout everything we do at REAL Leadership.
However as a trusted partner for our clients we are often involved in more than just providing leadership coaching: we also provide strategic advice and support in a number of ways.
We are very aware that we don’t have all the answers, but we are also crystal clear on the role a leader plays in achieving long-lasting and real success for any business.
Our aim is to create a network of like-minded people to bring about REAL leadership change and make this happen. And we can only do this by working with some amazing people,both as part of the team, our partners and our clients.
I’m proven in terms of commercial results – loving nothing more than winning against the odds! I am as tough and competitive as the next person, but I have a naturally empathetic leadership style, dedicated to the people I work with.
The REAL Leadership philosophy is captured in Steve’s book ‘GET REAL’.
1 Results
Lead from the front, always focus on the results, knowing that it takes a team to achieve them. Your role as the leader is to get results.
2 Empathy
Be genuine, emotionally intelligent and passionate. Empathy is everything and your employees expect you to embrace this critical leadership skill.
3 Authenticity
Lead with honesty and transparency. Be the leader you were meant to be, rather than acting like someone you think you should be.

REAL leaders have the humility to be constantly learning from everyone, all the time.
