EXTENDED BIOSteve Thomas invests his life in helping a variety of organizations build leadership, develop people and create team. To put it simply, he helps people navigate through the complexities of human weirdness. He genuinely wants to see people live better lives and has a passion to develop people to get the most out of their leadership and life. And, he has been doing that for over 30 years.
It is not secret that great people make great organizations. While some start with tips and techniques to solve the problems that we see, Steve digs below the surface to challenge the deep issues we sometimes don’t see. Convinced that leadership drives the workplace culture and the culture drives everything else, he challenges current thinking and belief systems to bring about change…and fun! In fact, part of his mission…make work culture more fun! With a degree in leadership and a minor in psychology he loves making the seemingly difficult things simple and practical. He will challenge you to rethink what you have always thought to get you to the next level. “If you think what you have always thought, you will get what you have always got!” Steve also coaches football and lives in Springfield, Illinois with his wife, Debbie. She is an educational consultant doing almost the same thing he does, except she is way better at it than he is!

FUN BIOSteve Thomas is not normal and neither is his approach. He works with organizations all over the country helping them see leadership in a different way, apply leadership in a different way and help them re-organize and rethink their cultures and their teams. In fact, helping people rethink and see things differently is a passion. Another passion is helping people navigate through the complexities of human weirdness. Steve is NOT a motivational speaker. Instead, he creates conversations, leads discussions and stays away from just lecturing or speaking or pumping you up.
One of his fundamental beliefs is you’ll never be a better leader (or anything) until you become a better person. Which is exactly why he loves helping people live better lives; when you live a better life you are a better leader and when people on your team live better lives you have a better organization.

He leads conversations in all kinds of organizations to help them develop people, team and leadership. Today he wants to challenge us all rethink [leadership, people, team, etc.] Now, get ready to laugh, learn and drink from a fire hydrant. Here’s Steve.
