Executive Coach • Keynote Speaker • Award-Winning CEO & Entreprenuer
Hi, I’m Steve BAUE
The truth is, leadership can feel heavy, especially if you've had to figure it out on your own. This work is about sharpening your leadership, scaling your impact, and being intentional about the legacy you’re building.
That’s where our work together begins, helping you be you, but greater.
As Featured In
For more than 30 years, I’ve worked in global organizations and developed leaders across international, market-leading companies. I’ve seen how leadership actually plays out, and how the moments that matter most tend to shape who we become.
I’ve also built, scaled, and ultimately sold my own businesses, which taught me what leadership looks like when everything is on the line.
Most leaders don’t need more trends or models. They need clarity around their edge and a way of leading that aligns with who they are and the results they’re accountable for.
Leadership can feel heavy, especially when responsibility grows faster than the space to reflect. This is where the work helps leaders move from reacting to showing up with intention.
No gimmicks. No guru talk. Just honest support to help you be you, but greater.

The Call-Out and Call-Up
My job isn’t to coddle. It’s to challenge you with care. I’ll point out what’s in your blind spots and support you as you rise to meet it.
Anyone can hand you a leadership playbook. I help you build a leadership style rooted in your values and grounded in the reality of your role.
Less “How to Lead,” More “How You Lead”
Growth doesn’t happen in perfect conditions. It happens in the middle of complexity, missteps, and hard conversations. I create space to unpack that honestly and move forward with purpose.
Space to Grow
I’m not just a sounding board for 60 minutes. I help you build systems and habits that support growth long after the calendar fills back up.
Momentum That Lasts
You’re building something big, and that shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being. We pay attention to the habits and patterns that protect your energy and help your leadership remain sustainable.
Burnout Prevention Built In
I’ve led thousands of team members, built companies from scratch, and worked in high-pressure environments. I don’t give you buzzwords or abstract ideas. I help you find the tools that hold up when decisions matter.
Tools Over Theory
“As an experienced executive, but a first time CEO, I needed an Executive Coach who could both assist me in navigating my expanded responsibilities as well as help me set a clear path forward for the organization, my leadership team, and myself. Steve was a perfect fit.”
