More About Steve

Steve Mitten B.ApSc, CPCC, MCC

Hi.  Here is a little more info about me.

As a Professional Coach I have a strong background of business, management, entrepreneurial, leadership and coaching experience.  I love to help people bring out their best, align their passions and strengths and create great lives and businesses.

As relates to business and entrepreneurial activities, I've had the pleasure of starting and building five companies, and for many years I was a President and a Managing Director of two public companies with international operations. 

I have a strong interest and background in marketing (conventional and internet) and often help businesses and professionals find better ways to position, price and sell their products and services. I have also invested in and raised money for a wide variety of business ventures, and so I understand what is involved in putting together successful, business plans, offering memorandums and prospectuses.

I regularly teach and advise entrepreneurs and new coaches how to move through the various stages of building a business.  I am also familiar with the day to day challenges of managing small businesses.  

Coaching Background

Regarding Coaching, I am a senior coach, one of the veterans of this young profession.  I have studied coaching and coaching skills from a variety of sources including work with CoachU founder Thomas J. Leonard ( I am a Certified Strategist.) the Newfield Network, Innerworks Solutions and The Justice Institute.

I have also completed the Professional Coaching, Advanced Coaching and Certification programs with the Coaches Training Institute, CTI. (I am a C.P.C.C.)  I am also an active member and a Director of the ICF with my MCC (Master Certified Coach) designation.

I am an experienced and certified coach, and I routinely teach coaching and leadership skills and mentor young coaches. I also volunteer my time to build the coaching profession and served as 2005 President of the ICF.

Personal

I have been married for over 23 years.  My wife Laurie and I are blessed with 3 wonderful girls, who keep us very busy.  I love spending time with family and friends, and I enjoy lots of outdoor sports, particularly boating, swimming and skiing. I also love to read, coach sports, learn new things, and keep growing in life.

I am very grateful for all the opportunities and experiences I have had.  And I really love to coach other people to grow and create the lives that will be most meaningful to them.  Plain and simple, I like to make a difference.
