Hola, I’m Steve!
Human Resources Consultant | Interim HR Manager
I’m a strong HR Professional with solid expertise acquired in very diversified businesses; yes, I worked in the cruise ship industry and traveled the world!
My passion for people and for helping others led me to a fantastic career in HR! I have been assisting and supporting many organizations, from various industries, with their HR strategies and operations over the past 25+ years; unionized and non-unionized environments, locally and abroad. That also contributed to the fact that I can fluently speak English, French, and Spanish.
I am passionate about HR strategies whether it be acting as a true business partner and advisor for senior leaders, managing the expansion of the business abroad, organizational and/or department HR diagnosis, employee survey analysis and action plans, HR efficiency, etc. And above all, I get genuinely excited about anything related to HR systems implementation — it keeps me inspired and fuels my motivation.
I am a creative problem solver with high energy and a positive attitude. But mostly, I am a strong believer that the human is the fuel that can make the organizations move forward and achieve what is often perceived as “mission impossible”.

Human Resources Consultant | Interim HR Manager
Need to develop your purpose, company culture, or employee voice?
Well, that’s our job.
Because while most transformational coaches take a mission-first approach, we’re all about connecting and aligning your business mission with the humans that serve it.
Why?
Because aligning people and business strategies into collaboration is what creates truly powerful and impactful organizations.
That’s the secret sauce inside any successful enterprise.
So how do we get there?
We’ve seen organizations struggle with talent engagement and retention for many different reasons.
It could be:
Having too much to do with too few resources
Juggling deadlines, budgets, and deliverables
Lacking leadership development opportunities
Many times leaders intend to move the needle forward, but have no idea how to get there. This means they put off transformational processes until ‘later’ and start focusing on business results — not team performance.
We believe intention is good, but it’s nothing without action.
That’s why Grow Better Together offers:

Female Leadership
Team Coaching
Organizational Culture Transformation
