Steve can speak specifically to the following topics:
    Servant Leadership: Valuable Qualities of an Effective Leader - The Reverend Billy Graham. Pope John Paul II. Bill Gates. Warren Buffet. What characteristic and qualities do these great leaders posses and why do so many follow their example? Learn and understand the qualities of an effective leader!
    The Human Capital Group: Business and Beliefs - Our personal faith life is not supposed to spill into our public business life, right? Faith is for Sundays only; isn't that the general rule? As Christians, when is it okay to live our beliefs while practicing business? Steve shares how his faith and trust in God lead him to success in the business world.
    Finding God in Every Situation: Life throws many obstacles our way. Our challenge is to maneuver through those obstacles while trusting that God will be with us in every circumstance of our lives. Keeping our eyes fixed on God we will see His glory in unique ways and continually grow closer to Him!
    Success vs. Significance: We live in a culture that stresses the importance of being successful; monetary success; career success; personal success. But does success really mean being satisfied? The reality is things, possessions, and money don't truly satisfy the desires of our heart. True significance in life are the relationships we build with God, our family, our friends and our community.
    Faith, Family, Work ... in that order!: On average, adults spend 8.2 hours a day working; 7.6 hours sleeping; 2.6 hours with leisure activities and sports; 1.1 hours eating and drinking; 1.0 hours doing household activities; and 3.5 hours doing miscellaneous activities. With our families getting so little of our time and our Faith even less, we need to re-prioritize!
