ABOUT ME
Leadership That Lasts
The Weight of Leadership
Leadership can be lonely.
The weight doesn’t get lighter, the targets keep rising, the team feels stretched, succession hangs in the balance, and culture starts to slip as the business grows.
If you lead leaders or steward a family business, you know the pressure. You’re expected to see clearly, make the hard calls, and carry people forward, even when you’re running on empty.
Where I Come In
I’m Steve Knox, an executive coach, consultant, and board advisor. For nearly two decades, I’ve partnered with senior executives and family business owners in construction, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, tech, and high-growth startups.
My work centers on the moments that define your future:
Succession - planning for continuity that honors the past and empowers the next generation.
Scaling - turning growth into structure and sustainability.
Culture - aligning what you say, what you do, and what people feel.
Leadership Development - equipping people to think and act like owners.
A Different Path
I didn’t start out in boardrooms.
Before coaching, I worked factory floors, classrooms, warehouses, and nonprofits. That patchwork of jobs taught me two things: how to listen and how to connect with people.
Those lessons became the foundation of how I serve leaders today - being a trusted voice and guide.
My Approach
My approach is simple, we’ll cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and make decisions that stand the test of time.
I help leaders and families lead with purpose, clarity, and courage - the kind of leadership that shapes businesses and the people inside them.
Let’s Talk
If you’re carrying the weight of leadership in a season of transition or growth, we should connect.
The first conversation is always on me.
