The Unspoken Cost
of Conversational Debt
Book this talk
How much is your organization paying in "conversational interest" every day? Those uncomfortable topics everyone avoids, the feedback that never gets delivered, the conflicts that simmer just below the surface — they are all costing you more than you realize.
In this eye-opening keynote, Steffan reveals how conversational debt silently erodes team trust, stalls innovation, and prevents your organization from reaching its full potential.
- Learn how to identify conversational debt in your organization
- Understand the true cost of conversational debt on your team
- Implement practical strategies to start paying down this debt
- Transform difficult conversations into catalysts for growth and innovation
And What if Resilience
Was Not What You Thought...
Book this talk
Have you ever pushed yourself past your limits in the name of resilience — only to find you have nothing left? In this deeply personal session, Steffan challenges everything you think you know about strength.
Drawing from his own experience as an entrepreneur navigating a profound personal crisis, Steffan shows leaders how to recognize when traditional resilience becomes harmful — and how to access real strength through vulnerability rather than constant pushing.
This is not a motivational talk about pushing harder. It is about knowing when to stop, how to set boundaries, and how to lead from a place of genuine humanity.
“Steffan presented many times for us at our monthly IIBA events and was also the keynote speaker at one of our yearly events. He truly embodies the essence of co-creative leadership when he talks to his audience.”
