L. Steven Conway partners with executives, high-potential leaders, and high-performance teams to elevate performance, strengthen culture, and show up with decisive clarity in the moments that define careers and organizations. With over 2,800 hours of professional coaching experience as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentialed through the International Coaching Federation, he is known for helping leaders expand their influence, enhance emotional intelligence and strategic execution, and navigate complexity and perform under pressure.

The son of a career soldier who served 30 years in the U.S. Army, Steven enlisted at 19 — carrying forward a family legacy of service that would shape everything that followed. A retired U.S. Army Officer and decorated combat helicopter pilot, he flew CH-47 Chinook missions across seven combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan — earning two Bronze Stars and two Air Medals for service and leadership under fire. He survived a helicopter crash and returned to the cockpit. That resilience — forged in environments where the cost of poor decisions is measured in lives, not quarterly results — is the foundation beneath everything he brings to leaders and organizations today. That experience, and the commitment to family that anchored it — a wife and two sons through every deployment — is what makes his work resonate with audiences who have no patience for theory and full expectation of results.

What separates great leaders from good ones is rarely skill. It's energy — how they show up, what they bring into every room, and whether they're operating by choice or by default.

Drawing on that foundation, Steven designs and delivers high-impact programs spanning executive coaching, leadership development, organizational effectiveness, and strategic alignment — each built to the specific needs of the client and the culture. His work spans one-on-one executive engagements to multi-phase culture-building initiatives to large-scale conference facilitation for audiences of 250 or more. The result is leaders who show up differently — more self-aware, more decisive, and more effective in the moments that matter most — and organizations that feel the difference in their culture, their performance, and their bottom line.

Steven also serves as a Lead Trainer and Mentor Coach with iPEC (the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching), one of the world's foremost coach training organizations, where he trains and develops professional coaches at every level. As a certified Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), he integrates iPEC's proprietary, research-backed ELI Assessment as a diagnostic and development tool across his coaching and facilitation work. Certified in EQ-i 2.0 / EQ 360, Everything DiSC®, and Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™, Steven incorporates research-validated assessments that produce measurable, evidence-based insight for individuals, teams, and organizations. He also holds an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate — multiengine helicopter and airplane — a credential that reflects the same standard of precision and discipline he brings to every client engagement.
