About Steven Sebastian

My name is Steven Sebastian and I love helping people reach their full potential. In our careers, we have the privilege of working for some INCREDIBLE leaders and some \"not so great\" leaders, but what is most important is what we do with our experiences. I feel an obligation to inspire, motivate and coach leaders to achieve full personal and professional growth. As the late Maya Angelou said,\"I\'ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.\" As leaders of others, we must take the time to connect with our teams and understand what makes them \"tick.\" It is not until we understand what motivates each person will we be able to connect with true authenticity. I am always open to connecting with others that share my passion for people. If you would like to connect, chat or just catch a cup of coffee, please reach out!
