Testimonials for Dr Stephen Brown

I have worked with Stephen continuously over the last five years and have seen him speak to audiences each and every time. His ability to read a room, connect with every person in that room and craft an engaging narrative whilst having research to back up everything he shares is second to none. Two key things stand out about Stephen. 1. When Stephen talks, people listen. This includes ALL the people who normally couldn't be bothered/too busy/too important (and he is the only person who I can say that about.) 2. The way people share at the end of his programs is jaw dropping. The honesty, the learning and the praise they have for him, their change journey and his program content is unbelievable. I just haven't seen it anywhere else in my 20 years in this industry. Throw in a great sense of humour and an affable nature and wow with a supreme intellect and you have a researcher, speaker, coach, and facilitator that is literally, second to none.
