About Stephen Long

For over 30 years, I’ve studied the relationship between prosperity and wastefulness. My behavioral analytics reveal the waste that exists in human capital, and my educational programs transform that waste into assets. My research-based, experiential keynote seminars are high-energy and interactive, spark innovative ideas and produce measurable results. This is not \"edutainment.\" It\'s an investment designed to alter mindsets, change behaviors, and generate outcomes. My speaking events include The Prosperity Trait Index©, which measures a psychological trait that is holistic, wholly positive, and proven to be the human attribute responsible for value creation. It’s more important than IQ. It’s bigger than EQ. And it’s stronger than Grit. My educational programs — on-site, virtual, and on-demand — have enabled my clients to experience significant results- 115% improvement in financial performance on average - Improvements range from a low of 35% to a high of 300%- Zero failure rate Behavioral effects include but are not limited to improvements in self-management, relationship management, consistency, reasoning, concentration, creativity, and most importantly, a highly developed duty towards ethics. By strengthening this trait, people make better decisions, learn more efficiently, and adapt more effectively. As a result, people reduce waste and prosper by strengthening leadership effectiveness habits by acquiring essential personal development skills.
