Personal Details

Bio

Keynote speaker Steve McNicholas, two times best-selling author and creator of the SUCCESS Code®, is considered to be a leading authority on what it takes to achieve ‘success’ in business, in leadership as well as in life and just as importantly, how to sustain it!

After a 30 year career in the corporate world, Steve followed his passion to help individuals, teams and organisations understand and then apply the unique and proprietary SUCCESS Code® strategies to drive sustained success and achievement professionally and personally.

His keynotes offer an inspiring and yet practical set of insights and tools that the audience can understand and apply quickly to make a difference.

Why Steve?

• He has led successful teams and businesses across several industries and geographies and will honestly admit to having the bumps and bruises that comes from leading teams to win and succeed. He feels you just have to have a few scars to prove you’ve been through the battles!

• For well over a decade, Steve has sought to speak to hundreds of ‘successful’ individuals across several countries, sectors and different backgrounds. In a deeply personal quest to explore what, how and why success happens for individuals, he began to notice a pattern, a sequence, a ‘code’ that was consistent in all. This insight formed the basis for both of his books on the subject and led him to follow this passion to inform and inspire others to ‘unlock the Code’ for themselves, their teams or their organisations.

• In researching for his books, Steve also began to understand his own journey to success. From a failed education to running a major UK banking network! From financial despair during the banking crisis of 2008 to best-selling author and international speaker! Steve knows the power and impact of the SUCCESS Code® and is now inspiring and engaging audiences internationally with such insight.

Before he became one of the UK’s leading motivational speakers, Steve McNicholas has led several successful teams and businesses across the globe before deciding to step away from corporate life to pursue his lifelong passion in understanding and capturing the ‘secrets’ to professional and personal success.

His first book, Recipe for Success, was co-authored with New York Times best-selling author Jack Canfield and reached best-seller status upon release. Steve later published his follow-up book in 2019, Unlock the SUCCESS Code® – 7 Steps to Succeed in Life and Work. The book has already achieved best-seller status on both Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Steve is presently retained to advise several businesses on the commercial and people challenges they face and is coaching and mentoring the management teams to succeed against such issues.

Steve has been invited to Harvard Business School to share and develop his expertise on how to maintain success/excellence in any organisation and he has a reputation for being funny, personable, and just ridiculously easy to work with!

  • I can highly recommend Steve as one of the best motivational speakers I have ever seen. By sharing his real-life stories and explaining his 'success code' he enthrals his audiences and takes them on a journey to give them the tools and a plan to achieve their goals. If you are looking to inspire a company, a team or even an individual then book Steve for your event - you will not be disappointed...and you will have fun too, as he has a great sense of humour!

  • Steve attended our 2020 sales & marketing conference as our keynote speaker and made a huge impact, positive impression on my team. A fascinating story on how Steve himself turned failure and adversity into success using the guiding principles explained in ‘Unlocking the SUCCESS code.’ A truly inspiring presenter who keeps it real and my team are already seeing the value of this winning formula. For me, a great investment!

  • I've seen quite a few 'motivational' speakers over the years, and always been relatively impressed; for a few days. After hearing Steve talk about the success code and how it can make a real (and I mean 'real') difference to your business, and life, I realised that I'd never actually heard a motivational speaker. He was truly inspirational and the buzz amongst the audience was palpable - I genuinely can't recommend Steve and the success code enough; you and your business need it!

  • I was lucky enough to see Steve in action, first hand and it was clear very early on he is at the top of his game. Passionate, articulate and intelligent with the ability to make the audience hang off every word. The success code resonated with the whole room and it’s brilliance is it’s simplicity that can be relevant to so many. Some speakers struggle to inject humour but Steve got that spot on again. I’d say if you company is looking for a speaker - book Steve - you won’t be disappointed. Great Speaker.
