Steve Goudswaard

Steve is an executive coach and systems change manager who partners with leaders to navigate uncertainty with purpose. He has 30 years of experience in leadership roles working on strategy development and implementation through teams and human systems in over 40 countries. 

He now runs his own coaching and consulting business working with leaders, teams, and systems. He partners with leaders tackling wicked problems by listening carefully to what is happening. This creates joint visibility of the challenge or opportunity. Then using the values of the individual or organisation, clarifies what is worth pursuing. The final lens is one of viability, to determine what is possible. This creates an initial plan to iterate and learn from. 

Steve is based in Wandin North, Victoria, Australia where he can go cycling, walking, listening to podcasts and do some wine tasting. He has recently discovered the joy of being a grandfather.
