Background

About Steve Elstein

Leaders under pressure often tell me their teams feel stuck, drained or slow to innovate.That’s where I come in. I help C-Suite executives and global teams perform with confidence, energy and pace - even in the most complex environments. I support leaders and teams by fusing leadership and fitness principles into team coaching, organisational development and innovation consulting. This isn’t about getting you fitter - it’s about equipping you to generate new ideas and solutions more quickly than traditional approaches.When people move and think differently, energy rises, ownership grows, and teams achieve outcomes they didn’t think possible.At Courageous Co, I work with leaders who have bold ambition to do things differently - for the good of their business and their people. Together, we foster environments where teams think differently, experiment, and achieve results at pace. I bring over 20 years of leadership experience defining and delivering global innovation strategies for multi-billion-dollar product portfolios in Fortune 500 companies.At Procter & Gamble and Coty Inc, I learned that aligning people, process and innovation strategy within a culture of experimentation drives growth.I’ve led teams through acquisitions, restructurings and post-merger integrations, rebuilding organisational capability at scale and with speed.I’ve lived and worked in the US and the UK, and I know how to unite people across different personalities, leadership levels and cultures.The most courageous leaders create environments where people are trusted to perform at their best. I bring the curiosity, empathy and determination to help them get there. I’m a self-confessed fitness junkie - I’ve taken on half marathons, century bike rides and triathlons. That resilience mindset shapes my approach: performance improves when you train both mind and body. It’s why I get such a buzz from seeing leaders and teams move, think and achieve in ways they didn’t know were possible. “Steve gets how to bring people together, whatever the challenge they are dealing with, and always with an eye to the bigger picture.”’ If you’re leading transformation, driving growth, or looking to energise your team with new ways of working, let’s talk.
