Hello,
I'm Steve Baue.

Coach.

Speaker.

Business Owner.

Wisconsin Boy at Heart.

I’m fortunate to have worked for over 20 years at two international market-leading companies, overseeing global organizational/leadership development and human resource functions at an executive level. I’ve spent the last seven years as CEO and owner of Wisconsin’s premier mental wellness/mental health benefit company. During that time, I’ve become a professional speaker, specializing in leadership and mental health topics, as well as a sought-after Executive Coach, which led me to creating my consulting company, Steve Baue, LLC.

My goal is simple: be the guide that helps you be you, but greater.

Executive Coaching

My coaching is designed for leaders with a fierce desire to learn and grow, who want an external partner they can trust to offer expertise and hold them accountable. It’s a proven process with clear goals that achieve guaranteed outcomes.

[Steve’s] approach allowed me to stay true to my personal values while making my daily behaviors exactly that–behaviors that have now become a natural part of my routine, how I support the team, and how I am leading the firm. I cannot thank Steve enough for his contributions to my development as a successful leader.

How Much Time and Effort is the Right Amount to Invest in an Employee?

As a guy whose title has included “development” for most of his career, it’s a tough call. This idiom makes it a bit simpler to decide.
