Dr Stephen Smith, Managing Partner – the Colloquium Group

“My goal in life is to help bring out the best in others.”

Dr Stephen Smith – Partner

Stephen engages in dialogue to help leaders, teams, and boards discover what they really want — and helps them adventure towards their goals. He believes that organisations are transformed as their leaders discover the humility to develop self-awareness, and the will to lead courageously.
