Steve's Bio
When I was 20, I crossed the Sahara Desert from north to south. What started as an ill-advised, youthful adventure turned into a practical template for guiding individuals and organizations on the shifting sands of a changing world. The old rules for success don't work today. This alternative is your best option to keep moving forward. “Learn fast to change quickly” is how to thrive on the dunes of disruption that have replaced the solid ground of predictability.
I’ve given 1,000 keynote speeches to organizations around the globe, including many of the Fortune 50. My first two books, are global bestsellers. As the founder and CEO of Storyglu, I’ve helped dozens of experts write books on leadership, personal growth and success. I've also created a new change management framework called The Nomad Change Model™, a radical shift in how organizations navigate endless transition in a disrupted world.
Your ability to change determines your ceiling of success. Getting better at AI isn’t enough. The future belongs to those who develop their “adaptive DNA” so they can advance nimbly in a disrupted world, like a nomad traversing the desert’s dunes.
