Steven Morris is a brand and culture building expert, advisor, author, and speaker.

How I help & serve
When you’ve solved the brand challenge, you can solve just about everything else in your business. But if you don’t solve this challenge, just about everything else suffers.
Because your brand is everything your company does, it’s too important to separate from your culture.
Your business is too important to operate in parts and pieces.
Your brand and culture, together with your business strategy, drive results.
I’ve applied my Brand Evolution framework to build or evolve more than 275 world-class brands. This time-tested framework cultivates your branded-business drivers and activates them into an operationalized brand strategy.
Building brand-culture unity may be the most significant untapped resource within your company.
It’s people, not companies, who make and keep promises. This is what creates customer experience (CX).
Those that leverage their brands to mold their employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) generate more sustainable outcomes than those that don’t integrate their brand and culture. Outcomes include increased customer loyalty and profit margins, stronger market positions, and higher employee engagement, inclusion, and retention.
While integrating your brand, culture, and business strategy together may be a common mindset, it’s not a common action.
Working with an experienced and trusted advisor to help create an Integrated Business may be the difference between a good business and a great one.
If you’re serious about creating a better performing organization, integrate and shore-up the symbiotic through-line between your brand, culture, marketing, and business strategy. I can help.
I coach the whole person—not just the position they hold.
My work helps leaders grow from the inside out. I blend strategic clarity with somatic intelligence, presence with performance, and inner insight with collective impact. This is leadership development for those ready to lead with wholeness, wisdom, and authenticity.
I believe work can be more than just a job—it can be a transformative path to
personal growth and fulfillment. Leadership doesn’t have to drain us. It can
inspire us to realize our fullest potential as leaders, colleagues, and human
beings. And, while it’s lonely at the top, you don’t have to walk this
journey alone.
From Paris to Portland, Dubai to NY, Chicago to Tokyo, I help leaders navigate change, tap into their vital life-forces, and unlock creative potential. My coaching opens space for meaningful transformation—personal, relational, and systemic.
