Keynote and training

‘Steve’s sessions proved to be a real highlight. His presentation skills are excellent and he brings theoretical models to life with relevant, engaging and surprisingly entertaining practical exercises. Even more impressive was the fact that the lessons learnt during sessions have had a real and meaningful impact on the way I operate at work. I’d jump at the chance to attend another of his sessions.’
Matt Swaine – Editor-BBC Wildlife
Alongside his performances, Steve delivers engaging, thought-provoking talks that resonate with audiences long after the event. Titles include “Mindsleight”, a deep dive into the magic of focus and attention, “The Juggler Who Couldn’t Catch (and Other Stories)”, where he explores how understanding mindset and the learning process often matter more than raw talent.
As a qualified trainer and accredited leadership coach, Steve brings more than performance experience to the stage. His sessions draw on established leadership and communication models, strengthened by his experience delivering accredited training programmes and his work with Professor Gustav Kuhn, a leading expert in the psychology of attention. The result is content that’s not only entertaining, but credible, applicable, and grounded in real-world insight.
Far from being “magic with a message,” Steve’s demonstrations are purpose-built to enhance key learning points—creating powerful, practical takeaways that teams can apply immediately.
Whether you need a dynamic 10–40 minute keynote, a seminar, or a full-day interactive session, each talk is tailored to meet your organisation’s goals and leave a lasting impact.
‘We have worked with Steve for two years and are just planning our sixth cohort of ILM training. Our staff haven’t just got qualifications during that time; we now have tools, techniques and a common language for talking about and improving how we manage and lead. We are more productive, stronger and more resilient, and we definitely plan to keep working with Steve’
