Steven is a seasoned leadership coach committed to guiding individuals and teams towards their highest potential.

Armed with degrees in Health Science and Psychology, he excels at helping clients harness their innate strengths to foster resilience and wellbeing in their personal and professional lives.

Steven has applied his expertise in law, health and education for over 20 years, collaborating with District Health Boards, Law firms and Universities across New Zealand. But his reputation has made him a sought-after consultant in other sectors too, including banking, technology and government.

Steven’s work has taken him around the world, including to the UK, Australia, Canada and the USA. From start-ups to established corporations, workplaces of all kinds seek Steven out for the tailored, client-centric leadership programmes he develops and implements with his business partner, Glenys.

These programmes are built on the premise that personal health and wellbeing are intricately aligned with business resilience and health – a concept that Steven and Glenys pioneered over 20 years ago. Long before it became popular with the COVID pandemic.

As a result, Steven’s clients – which include the likes of Buddle Findlay, Meredith Connell, Property for Industry, University of Auckland and NZ’s Ministry for the Environment – all experience profound increases in productivity, connection and engagement.

But above all, they experience transformational career growth. An outcome Steven finds deeply rewarding.

With over 30 years in executive coaching and adult development, Glenys is a master at helping individuals thrive and build resilience in their professional lives. For Glenys, nothing is more fulfilling than empowering others.

By working with clients from diverse sectors – including education, banking, law and health – Glenys understands the complexities of leadership and the importance of holistic wellbeing to sustainable success.

For over 10 years, she has supported academic and professional staff through organisational change and personal transition, including as a coach in the University of Auckland’s Academic Leaders Programme.

Today, Glenys designs, implements and evaluates bespoke leadership programmes with her FrontTier business partner, Steven – a practice they’ve been honing together for decades. Her aptitude for this work is reflected in the lasting client connections she builds, many of which have flourished for over a decade.

Glenys is accredited in the Life Styles Inventory and Hogan suite of assessment tools and holds a Certificate in Training and Human Resource Development from the University of Auckland.

At the heart of Glenys's achievements is her firm belief that when our purpose is clear, success naturally follows.
