ABOUT STEPHEN MCGHEE

Changing Leadership and Lives for over 30 years.

The greatest leaders I know are living out loud from a place of deep purpose and presence. Leadership is a way of life, a path of courage and conviction. It’s setting the highest example for yourself and others of how to be integral in the world. 

My work with you comes from this place. It transmits inspiration, presence, courage and power into your world, so that over time you step into the kind of leader and human being you have always known you could be.  

STEPHEN

Advising leaders on personal, professional and planetary change.

My experience includes a career in financial services, and more than thirty years advising top CEOs, family offices, and influential leaders worldwide on personal, professional and planetary change.

I've done just about everything you can in the leadership space—keynote speaking, strategic planning, running board meetings, creating culture change and more.

I work extensively with family offices to strengthen governance, enhance communication, and align investment strategy with long-term vision and generational values. My advisory work supports families and enterprises seeking coherence, clarity, and sustainable growth across generations. 

I hold a graduate degree in Consciousness, Health, and Healing from the University of Santa Monica, where I later served as faculty in Soul-Centered Leadership. I've led experiential leadership cohorts like the Aconcagua Man Project—climbing Mt. Aconcagua, one of the world's highest peaks—and class five white water excursions on Rio Futaleufú in Chile. My programs are known for creating learning velocity, which inspired both my book Climb to Freedom and the award-winning documentary film of the same name.

My personal journey has revealed a universal truth: leadership isn't just about achievement—it's about personal sovereignty. My work integrates the goal line of measurable results with the soul line of inner mastery. I help leaders create exponential impact without losing their center, values, or vitality. Through strategic clarity and powerful, soul-centered inquiry, I reveal blind spots, unlock discretionary energy, and accelerate execution at every level. 

This combination creates the true bottom line: mastery in leadership and in life.

Stephen currently lives in Southern California with his wife, Veronica, and his family.
