Drawing on more than two decades of leadership and facilitation experience, Stephen focuses on developing the human skills and culture that shape everyday work. He has taken part in more than 600 check-ins and has seen first-hand how openness and humanity can strengthen the way teams relate, communicate and perform. Regular team check-ins help teams build a healthy culture together while strengthening core human skills such as listening, authentic communication, empathy and shared leadership. This practical approach does not rely on complex culture change strategies. Before founding TeamWeave, Stephen led a small Australian engineering consultancy where regular team check-ins were a core part of how the team worked together. Through TeamWeave, he now offers workshops, structured learning programs and the Guide to Team Check-ins for Workplaces. Stephen is also an engaging keynote speaker. Based in Australia, he works with teams across a range of sectors worldwide who are seeking more human, effective and fulfilling workplaces.

I serve women and men from ages 21 and up in supporting purpose lifestyle and seeking long term goals. I am a Master Life-Purpose Coach and Health &Nutrition Coach. We have a coaching podcast on all platforms. I also help with food and weight management for diabetic and autoimmune patients. I am the CEO of WCD Coaching Inc., NKB Vegan Cosmetics LLC, and Fearless Daughters Dreams LLC. I am the Host and owner of “We Dream Fearless Podcast”. The podcast is an extension of the brand and has helped many individuals as well as professionals across the U.S. We dream fearless podcast is now in Season 4 and was established in 2020 just as the Coaching brand. The podcast was my first baby to build my coaching brand. It was an outlet for people to open up and find their own purpose. I believe in people of the community to become better at what they want to accomplish. Most of us as Americans do not identify the purpose that is screaming for us. Learning your career path, purpose, and lifelong dream is what we do. Health Nutrition is important but first you must identify that health matters mentally before physically. There are three steps we go through before the nutrition and fitness side for our clients and patients. My story behind health is a disorder I am taking care of “rheumatism”. I want to help patient’s health wise in natural substances and to target accountability approaches. I decided to start skincare line that focuses on the natural plant-based regime. This care also falls up under the Health side of the program. I was inspired by my story and my purpose behind my dream. I didn’t realize my purpose until the pandemic. Motivating, speaking, blogging, encouraging has always been a part of my life. I just did not realize that was the right direction. It’s my passion and I am excited to help others. I am big at heart, love listening to people, love family, and very outgoing.   https://calendly.com/wcdcoachinginc/client-discovery-call Karen Oliver Executive Contributor CEO of WCD Coaching Inc. & Entrepreneur Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise.
