SUE SAYS

Steve spent his entire career working in publishing, reporting and editing in executive roles at Time, Fortune and Newsweek. Having his very first boss be a woman, he realized early on the different type of energy women bring to the workplace. Now his goal is to help businesses and companies focus more on their relationships with the people they work with and their well-being in order to bring about better outcomes and profitability.
