Read Letter of Recommendation

"Steve was, and still is, an inspirational part of my growth at Edwins. I'm truly grateful that he allowed me to be myself while teaching me leadership and life skills that made me a better man. His transformational leadership has helped me reveal my true self to others and understand what it takes to become the best version of myself. I appreciate Edwins for bringing us together."

"Thank you for allowing me to witness someone work with such passion for what they believe in. Your class was incredibly consistent. Each session was open and precise, which helped a lot. The way the lessons were combined and reiterated before the next session was really helpful in building a solid understanding. Regardless of a student's starting point, there's always the ability to grow and improve through this class."

"I’m learning how to utilize nonviolent communication with Steve. It’s helping a lot with my communication at the restaurant. I have better skills with conflict resolution and creating a team dynamic where you have to be a team player and a leader at the same time. Steve taught me to be more level-headed in how I communicate. If you approach someone in a calm manner then they respond with calm.

I’m incorporating these skills into my life outside of work too. One of the realizations that I came to as a person was realizing that in order for this cycle to stop happening to me, this insanity to discontinue. And I felt like such a [fool], like, when it finally dawned on me, because I knew that in order for me to change what kept happening to me, I had to change what I was doing and how I was communicating."

"Steve taught me a lot about transformational leadership and how to be a leader not only in a culinary environment but at any workplace and at home. He teaches how to take up leadership positions, to be the bigger person, to know how to communicate with your team, and how to rise above in difficult situations.

Steve’s classes taught me to be a better communicator with everyone including coworkers, family and friends. I’m just better. I know how to use my words, and I know how to communicate. I know how to better converse to not get upset and just talk about it and use my words instead of arguing.

When it comes to being a leader, you can't ĵust talk about it. You have to do the work. You have to back up what you're saying. You just have to take responsibility and take accountability."

"Steve’s leadership class was truly inspiring, open, and powerful, sparking meaningful conversations that provided a safe space to gain new perspectives on how we show up in our personal lives. His awe-inspiring, optimistic, and peaceful demeanor created an environment where we felt comfortable being vulnerable and sharing our stories. Steve emphasized the importance of being present and the power of servitude, showing us that strong leaders are first strong followers. He taught us that leadership is rooted in accountability, integrity, and active listening, helping us evolve into emotionally intelligent leaders. Steve is a great mentor and an invaluable asset to any organization."
