“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 communicate. I know how to converse better so that I don’t 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.”
