Steve joined the army at the age of 16 to make a difference in the world and now I was watching this family's world shatter in front of his eyes, unable to save him. His inability to act and save another human life would haunt him for years.
Learning to overcome his mental health problems was just the beginning. There is a great desire to do so inside of Steve now. He would never not act again. Steve has ealised that your destiny is everything, and is empowered to help people direct their focus and create the life of their dreams. No matter how small or large, learning the power of your inner power and true focus and begin achieving your life's true purpose.
Steve's mission is to help entrepreneurs businesses and the UK public sector find a new meaning to their lives. Motivation is the easy part. Staying up and keeping motivated when crisis and struggle hits you is the challenge and Steve is here to teach you exactly how to achieve this. Steve's speech "Worth Fighting For" is the single most heartfelt story of struggle through crisis and pain. Filled with real life examples of how you can use your own struggle to inspire your dreams or even just a new path of prosperity. There is always a way to overcome any crisis and every challenge all it takes is some real life grit and tenacity and a little belief in yourself. Steve's message is clear.
"You are and you always will be someone worth fighting for"
When you are facing a nightmare business crisis or family struggle what will keep you fighting on?
Worth fighting For
"Steve, I am so impressed with you. The first thing that struck me about your presentation was your humility. You have what Simon Cowell calls the 'likeability' factor and you have it in spades. I really enjoyed your talk and your story about Kosovo was just heart breaking - and inspirational at the same time. I love how you are so real - so genuine - so connected to your passion. Total respect to you, Steve"
Chris Farrell, #1 online marketer voted 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014"The moment I met Steve I was struck by the honesty with which he spoke about his experience, the rawness of his emotions and the power of his love for his family, and determination to do the right thing by them. He brilliantly articulates the trauma many service personnel go through, and gives them a voice as well as showing how a single moment of clarity turned his own life around, and the lives of those close to him. He embodies a strength of human spirit that many of us strive for but don't always manage achieve ourselves. It's been a privilege to get to know him and all his family."
Rachel Burden, presenter, BBC 5LiveSteve's story is truly inspirational and his positivity infectious. His ability to relate his experiences engages and motivates serving personnel, veterans and civilians alike. Poppyscotland has been fortunate to have such an enthusiastic supporter and his involvement with us has significantly raised the profile of our important work in supporting Scotland's veterans and their families.
Fraser Bedwell. Head Of Marketing – Poppy ScotlandSteve's experiences and story was an inspiring workshop in November 2009 with our 4th year occupational therapy students. Steve engaged the students and enabled them to appreciate the many challenges and health problems that war veterans can experience when they leave the military. We look forward to Steve being part of our students learning and development again in 2010 .
Stephanie Morrison, Lecturer in Occupational Therapy, The Robert Gordon UniversityI have known Steve for several years. He has been of great help to me and my trauma team in its work. He seems inexhaustible in his own efforts to help people. I am also impressed by how imaginative he is and he works very hard to ensure his plans come to fruition. On several occasions he and I have made presentations together to, for example, undergraduate students. He tells of his own experiences sensitively and movingly. In particular, he is helpfully frank about how they have affected him and his family. What he is currently doing, and seeks to do, represents an important contribution to the welfare of all who care to make a change.
