“I am writing in support of Steve Sirich, an exceptional leader and extraordinary career coach.  Steve is one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met and I feel fortunate to have learned so much under his tutelage.  During my time working for Steve, I came to know him as one of the most truly empathetic leaders I have ever met.  Steve is someone that is most concerned with deeply understanding his team, his peers, and stakeholders and taking personal interest in supporting their success.  That same strength carries over into his coaching practice where I have benefited greatly, both personally and professionally, from Steve’s ability to help me identify and develop my strengths and address areas for growth.  I believe Steve is an exceptional career coach and any organization or individual that is looking to enhance their personal and professional trajectory, would benefit greatly from his expertise and passion for helping others.”

“Steve’s coaching style encourages my own introspection and reflection, and helps me to extract new learnings about my own thought processes. He is magic when it comes to curiosity and investigation – the way he poses his own inquiries allows me to expand my thinking and opens me up to new progress. I have tackled some tough business challenges with Steve, and he has an incredible ability to find that one extra layer of questions to ask that allows me discover new solutions.”

Steve’s mentorship and friendship have helped me to become a better version of myself with the courage, insight and perspective for inspired individual achievement.”

“Steve as a leader communicates in a way that people feel seen and heard. He always takes an empathetic leadership approach where I have personally seen several organizations benefit from over the years. Steve’s empathetic communication builds trust, he practices and encourages transparency, which improves overall team and leadership team dynamics. His empathetic approach has resulted in consistently high employee retention year after year. His direct reports recognize and appreciate his personal approach to develop a loyal and productive leadership team that is motivated, trusted, and empowered to lead the organization into the future even after his departure.”

“Steve is one of the best team leaders I’ve had the pleasure of working for.  He took on a team and rebuilt the culture where everyone thrived, gave their all and more – many of us did our best work in our careers under his leadership. Steve pushes and supports his team to drive innovative and creative solutions – he supported us focusing on Marketing with Purpose ahead of the industry, crafting a new role dedicated to this thought leadership area and gave us room to experiment and nurture its growth which ultimately paid dividends helping us to break into new client relationships ,premium industry speaking opportunities and media coverage.  Steve is a champion of his people, he expects a lot of everyone, he has a high bar and is always there to provide support for you and your family at times when it is most needed. Steve is builder of trusted cultures, where everyone feels like they belong, he is a cross organizational diplomatic collaborator and strategic partner, able to create bridges and connections where others fail.  In short, Steve is the ultimate Executive and Team Coach able to build and lead high performance teams that deliver valuable impact and material business growth.”
