In the client's words
When I first chose to work with Steve, it was his passion and genuine energy that stood out. From day one, he didn't just consult from the outside, he fully immersed himself in our business, taking the time to understand our people, our challenges, and what truly makes us tick as a club. Since then, our business has grown significantly. We've been able to scale knowing that the foundations we're building are strong and sustainable.

The model
The model behind the work
The same three parts sit under the workplace programs and the Academy.
Lead Yourself
You can't lead others until you can lead yourself and understand what's getting in the way.
Lead Your Team
The skills that turn good people into great leaders. Feedback, difficult conversations, coaching, leading through values and the courage to hold the line
Shape Your Culture
Culture is what you allow. Every day, in every interaction, your leaders are either building it or eroding it.
Leaders create culture, culture drives behaviour, behaviour delivers results
About Steve
Steve is a leadership and culture specialist with over a decade of experience in leadership, culture and building high performing teams.
Originally from the UK, Steve built his career across some of Australia's most demanding industries, rising from the ground up to Head of Safety within Virgin Australia and achieving the highest sustained employee engagement score in the Regional Airline in Perth. He knows what it takes to lead in operational environments where the margin for poor leadership is low.
Steve founded The Mindshift Lab on a simple belief, that great leadership is a skill that can be built, practiced, and embedded into the culture of any organisation willing to do the work. His approach is practical, honest, and built around genuine partnership. He truly cares.
