“I am incredibly excited to announce my partnership with BBC Maestro, through which I have the privilege of sharing everything I have accumulated throughout my career about leadership. People are the most important part of your business; after all, the very definition of the word 'company' means a group of individuals. Therefore, nurturing the people who contribute to what your business is today has never been more crucial for success! This course is designed not only to motivate but also to empower all of you to gain a deep understanding of what it takes to become a successful leader in today’s society. I firmly believe that by implementing these changes, you will be able to alter the trajectory of your business significantly. I can’t wait to witness the results!”

Steven’s course on The 16 Steps to Start and Scale a Multi-Million Pound Business will be available later this year. The BBC Maestro platform features a series of extended, in-depth lessons filmed in 4K with an eclectic mix of prestigious experts and allows participants to explore new areas of learning from the comfort of their own home.
