Speaking
Steve Boehlke is not your typical speaker and when you hear him you may not be able to be a typical listener. Steve will engage you in the conversation, stretch your imagination, and move you outside your comfort zone. As one recent session participant put it: “He will help you gently shake up the status quo”.
For over two decades Steve has worked side by side with top corporate leaders, helping to shape individual, team and organizational leadership behaviors. “Steve focuses on the behaviors required to change culture and improve performance. He brings a wealth of experience and insight but is very practical.” He has developed a method for unleashing creative potential by uncovering blind spots and addressing the politics and pot-holes that lie just beneath the surface of every organization’s processes and procedures.
Steve blends the passionate voice of a former youth leader with an edgy sense of business to deliver a message loaded with depth and insight. Grounded in the guiding principle that the leader is within you, Steve’s message on leadership will be relevant whether you are a senior leader of a Fortune ranked organization or an aspiring student bound for greatness.
