Daring isn't just behavior, its embracing that ineffable quality that is you. I work with senior female leaders to find their daring selves and provide stellar leadership.
I'm Steve Mann, a former high-tech CMO and business leader. I've spent 25+ years as a successful leader in the enterprise software, SaaS and Internet sectors, building high-performance in teams and individuals. I always strove to build teams that were balanced, whether by race, gender, nationality or sexual identity. I learned early on that diverse teams made decisons that were more considered and in the best interest of whatever we were working on.
As a venture coach and mentor I helped startup CEOs hone their management, leadership and scaling talents. Many of my venture clients have achieved rapid growth or successful exits.
Today I help visionary women leaders in the tech space to dare. We focus on daring to stretch beyond what they think possible. I am committed to helping my clients navigate both the complex and mundane.
I collaborate with leaders at some of the world's fastest growing and most dynamic firms to guide their female leaders through personal and professional evolutions.
The skills formed when they learn how to dare, accelerates leadership competencies, fosters work-life balance, exposes personal blind spots, and improves corporate awareness and performance.
My coaching style is rooted in empathy, pragmatism, and directive guidance. Also, with extensive industry experience I tailor my coaching to distinct professional landscapes,
My clients work at some of the most dynamic and
market-dominant firms in the world.
My sessions with Steve are acceleration oriented. He is right there on my journey and sees a way through to success even when I can't see a thing. Yet somehow when I figure out how to reach my goal, it's like I discovered it on my own. It's amazing.

Transformation Executive
Before working with Steve I was frozen with indecision; torn between multiple personal interests, seek a promotion, or do nothing. Steve got me to my DARE by uncovering thinking errors holding me back. We worked on eliminating toxic thoughts and improving communications. I developed the clarity to make my own best choice.

Consulting Executive
I'm a good attorney, especially in writing and research. I knew I could make much more of an impact at the firm. But I was doubtful I could get there. I was blessed to be able to uncover how to build a plan and gain the confidence to make more of impact and rise in the firm.

When Steve asked me to write a testimonial, I wasn't clear on what to say. But then I thought back to the changes that have occured in my personal and professional life and I realized that the ratio of growth per minute was astounding.
