Through GrowthSource Coaching, he supports business owners and executives with leadership development, management training, and practical operating systems designed for real performance improvement. His background includes senior sales leadership at Batesville, volunteer executive coaching for nonprofits, and hosting the Business Wingmen podcast. ********************************************************** Show Notes: Steve works with business owners and executives who’ve hit a ceiling, usually because their management team isn’t operating at the level the business now requires. His coaching centers on mindset, management discipline, and simple systems leaders can actually use. For consultants, his approach offers a clear roadmap for how to drive behavioral change instead of just delivering advice. He’s coached leaders from Fortune 500 environments all the way to local businesses, which gives him a rare perspective on what actually changes a leader’s performance versus what merely sounds good in a workshop. His philosophy is “high-touch, low-tech”: focus on people, conversations, and accountability before chasing shiny tools. As a trainer and podcast host (Business Wingmen), Steve also breaks down messy leadership problems, new managers promoted too fast, teams lacking self-management, executives overwhelmed by responsibility, and turns them into actionable development paths. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
