His goal is to facilitate the outcome you want to create.
Steve’s most requested topics include a keynote or a workshop.
Addressing Emerging Trends and Massive Organizational Change, Steve makes the case that organizational health “will surpass all other disciplines in business as the greatest opportunity for improvement and competitive advantage.”
While too many leaders are still limiting their search for advantage to conventional and largely exhausted areas like marketing, strategy and technology, Steve believes an untapped gold mine is sitting right beneath them. Instead of trying to become smarter, he asserts that leaders and organizations need to shift their focus to becoming healthier, allowing them to tap into the more-than-sufficient intelligence and expertise they already have
Drawing on his experience consulting with some of the world’s leading teams, Steve arms the audience with the slingshot required to slay the Goliaths they face.
Leading from the front is a profoundly human endeavour, not a technical one.
Being exceedingly human will build healthy organizations that can surpass all other business disciplines to create the greatest opportunity for improvement and competitive advantage.
The first and most critical step in a healthy organization is creating a cohesive leadership team that is committed to do the ongoing work of developing and maintaining a high-performing team.
For most people, leadership is not a natural talent – it is a learned art.
Leader, author, and speaker, Steve Armstrong reveals practical, hands-on 
leadership advice and skills learned as a soldier and humanitarian.
If we are looking for larger than life heroes, we misunderstand what leadership is. In my experience, ordinary people rise to the occasion in turbulent and trying circumstances.
Key lessons:
- Leaders Are Made, Not Born
- Leaders Manage Their Emotions
- Leaders Respond Rather Than React
- Leaders are Resilient people who can come from anywhere.
His experience leading people and applying Leadership tools while humanity was at its best – or worst – provides the backdrop for his powerful workshop message on Project Management.
Discover these learning outcomes:
- How to ensure everyone knows how they fit into the mission
- How to apply proven Project Management skills to the most complex situations
- How to succeed by delegating responsibility with the requisite authority
