Testimonials

In Identity Leadership, Stedman Graham captures the key to being a great leader: Leading yourself first. This book is a roadmap for how to master that journey. At once personal and practical, here are the tools and strategies to have a profound impact on yourself, your business and your community.
– ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, Founder and CEO, Thrive Global
Stedman Graham is one of today’s leading authorities on emotional intelligence (Identity Intelligence). Seminars are highly effective because they make you focus on the true leader within yourself.
– DAVID M. REYNOLDS, VP, Key Bank
While a substantial amount of interest has been devoted to determining how trends in technology, consumer behavior, and management principles are influencing the business environment in this era of transformation few leaders have committed themselves to exploring, understanding, and sharing the importance of mastering Identity Leadership as brilliantly and comprehensively as Stedman.
– RAAMEL MITCHELL, Citizenship and Public Affairs Director, Microsoft
I have tremendous admiration for Stedman Graham and the mission he has chosen. He not only lives the message presented, but he is a powerful example. I know how genuine, deeply genuine Stedman is about helping people achieve their highest potential for success.
