Steve is the author of The TAO of a Master Connector and host of The Master Connector Show, a weekly live broadcast with more than 275 episodes. His TEDx talk, “How Introverts Can Out-Connect the Rest,” demonstrates that connection is a skill anyone can develop.

Connection at the Speed of Business: Why Human-Centered Organizations Move Faster
Technology helps organizations communicate faster, but speed alone does not create trust, alignment, loyalty or action. In many organizations, the real bottleneck is not technology. It is the quality of the relationships between employees, leaders, customers and business partners.

Through personal stories, audience engagement and practical strategies, attendees learn how to break through communication barriers, earn trust faster, improve collaboration and turn everyday conversations into meaningful business results.
Attendees will leave prepared to build stronger relationships, communicate with greater intention and take immediate action to create more trust, opportunity and momentum.
