“Steve’s impressive background in coaching and M&A work makes his insights incredibly relevant to me as a founding CEO and as a human being trying to access my best self in all areas of my life. His diverse range helps him be a crystal clear mirror helping me see myself, my vision, my actions and any potential roadblocks clearly. What I’ve known to be true becomes within reach when working with Steve. I always feel clearer and more aligned after my interactions with him. In a technology startup, where clarity is more important than speed or even power, Steve’s work has made a measurable impact on how I lead and problem solve in the presence of huge opportunity as well as mass uncertainty. “

“Steve is a supremely gifted facilitator, first – because it is who he is. This gift is in his DNA, heart and soul. Steve seamlessly weaves the high art of facilitation, with the clarion call of the Hero’s Journey into that rare alchemy where purpose is elegantly transformed into coherent form – complete with an aligned and actionable path forward. He sees with discerned clarity what wants to emerge in a person and a group, gently untangles what may be stuck, and calls forth the threads needed to create the tapestry of purpose, principles and process forward. His compassion holds discernment without judgement. His acuity of orchestration enables the truth, and the challenges therein – to rise forward with ease that surprises. Throughout Steve’s facilitation, his extraordinary mastery of language translates the seen, unseen and emergent into wholeness that is nothing short of awe inspiring.”

“I have worked with Steve both at University of California, Santa Barbara and San Francisco State University for over seven years. Steve gets my highest recommendation as a truly talented strategist and coach, particularly within the Higher Education sector. His ability to recognize, understand and provide guidance in all nuances of our business, with such confidence, insightfulness and versatility, makes him a true professional at his craft. Moreover, his ability to recognize and integrate strategic planning efforts in a pragmatic manner, has served to strengthen and renew the caliber of leadership and organizational planning in our organization. I highly recommend Steve Dewart for your organization.”

“I have been privileged to work with Steve both on strategic planning for our organization and as my executive coach. Steve brings outstanding skills to both processes. With impeccable credentials and a wealth of experience, Steve is knowledgeable of both the theories and the methods. He is a great listener who empathizes with his clients. I became a better leader, a better manager, and I think a better person, after working with Steve.”
