Hugely adaptable to any team, situation, or event, this powerful topic is the focus of the majority of Steve’s speaking engagements. Your Life Algorithm is the connection between performance, goals, physical and mental health, and decision making - and how you can sync them to climb out of depression, live your regular days with purpose, and access peak performance when you want or need to. Steve weaves in stories like failing before winning the Olympics as a team, building a world-class organization with $60M in funding, burying teammates and struggling with mental health before coming back stronger than ever, the trials and tribulations of leading on the most powerful board of directors in sports, and bringing in the stories of world-class executives, athletes, and musicians he’s coached. Steve will happily meet with your event organizer at least twice to customize the focus of the algorithm on the challenges your team, company, or conference-goers are trying to solve and the potential they’re looking to reach.

Olympic champions don’t rely on massive overhauls—they master small, strategic improvements. What’s your 3% that will redefine how you lead? What does it take to win the Olympics? Not perfection. Not a massive overhaul. Just 3% improvement. At the highest level, it wasn’t about working harder—it was about refining the tiny details that compounded into game-changing results. A one-inch adjustment in posture, a fraction-of-a-second shift in reaction time—these small moves added up to an Olympic gold medal. But in business and leadership, the margins for success aren’t measured in milliseconds—they’re measured in decisions. In how you show up, how you lead, and how you create a culture where small improvements turn into massive wins. This talk will challenge you to find your 3%—the high-impact shifts that sharpen your leadership, elevate your team, and drive real, measurable success. Big wins don’t come from waiting for the perfect moment. They come from refining, replicating, and executing on the details that matter most. Ready to find your edge?
