"Stephen’s great skill and experience as a coach has delivered profound benefits for me throughout the time I’ve worked with him. His style of coaching is empathetic yet challenging, he’s helped me grow my understanding of myself and those I work with, and given me techniques to achieve more and enjoy doing it. I’m very glad he has managed to distil some of his wisdom down into his book so that it can benefit more executives, managers and artists. I’d recommend it to everyone."
