I had people come to me for weeks following the presentation of this material to tell me what a big impact it made on not only how they viewed their work life, but their personal lives and relationships as well. One reason this was so successful was the incredible talent and style that Steve used in personally delivering the material. He interacted with the team in a way that caused boundaries to drop, openness to the material to present itself and freedom for individuals to participate with the broader team without feelings of self-consciousness to get in the way.”
