Steve Bunin

"Steve gave me the tools to quiet the self-doubt in my own head. He helped me get comfortable speaking in front of large audiences, but his impact went far beyond presentation skills."

It was such an honor to work with Susie Driscoll, Senior VP at the billion-dollar tech company, Nerdio.

If you have major career aspirations but a similar realization that your forward-facing responsibilities might be holding you back, feel free to DM me. Thank you, Susie, for your trust and for sharing these very generous words.

🙏 🙏 🙏

"I just wrapped up a coaching series with Steve. It’s been a great experience.

In January, at our company meeting, I had the opportunity to put these skills into practice. Standing in front of that audience felt very different. The nerves were still there, but this time I felt prepared, grounded, and confident in a way I hadn’t before.

I hesitated to share this, but it feels important. We are all human. We all deal with fear in some form. The difference is whether we choose to face it and put in the work.

Thank you, Steve, for the guidance and push!"

Very honored to be a guest on Stephen Kilbreath's podcast. He asks a crucial question for all of us age 40-60:

"What do you want your life to look like in its 'final third'?"

Me? I want to help people and make a positive mark on the world, or at least, my world. Coaching is the way I do it - in business and in high school basketball - and as happy as I've ever.

How about you?

What do you do outside your job that brings you happiness?

For me, it's serving as the head coach of the boys basketball team at Northwest Yeshiva High School in Seattle.

My third season at the helm was, once again, incredibly fulfilling - filled with ecstasy, disappointment, growth, laughs, tears, blood, sweat... And most of all, with love.

🏀 16 = 2nd-most wins in the program since 2015

🏀 1 = victory shy of 2nd State Tournament berth in school history

🏀 ♾️ = amount of joy I get out of coaching these young men

Back for a 5th (!) Media Training Workshop with the King County Sheriff's Office. So honored that they trust me so deeply to help Chiefs, Captains, Sergeants and other officers interact with the media.

It's a huge part of their job, especially when the ***t hits the fan. We peel back the curtain on the reporter's job and perspective, and prep officers to handle tough & legitimate questions - as well as rude & inappropriate ones.

Feel free to reach out if you or your company has never had a network-TV anchor provide media training. I'm happy to help.

Let's go ! I have been a fan since birth, including in 1987, when my only regret is that I didn't go full Boz and shave a reverse mohawk into my flat-top.

Incredible to watch the with some of my oldest friends and some new ones.

If they win again next year, maybe I'll finally get that haircut....

When one of the largest family-owned jewelry stores in Illinois flew me out to Chicago to help their salespeople connect with clients, I felt it went well.

But getting this kind of review from a longtime Rolex liaison .... kind of blew me away. My sincere thanks to everyone at James & Sons Fine Jewelers.

My 2026 calendar is filling up, so if you'd like me to work with your team, please DM sooner rather than later.

"One of the biggest concerns when hiring for this purpose is whether the team will truly be engaged and walk away with practical skills they can use in their daily interactions at work. Steve exceeded those expectations. Steve's expertise allowed him to deliver an engaging session focusing on communication and storytelling skills. His passion and professionalism were clear throughout the entire process."

The trip to Kansas City - one of my favorite cities in the country - was a blast.

It was another opportunity to work with the team at IKO Roofing- a billion-dollar roofing company that understands how even a slight improvement in sales skills can translate to millions of dollars annually.

They're also the type of company that "gets" it -- they don't just hold an all-day conference for 100 contractors, they rent out a minor league baseball field for some bonding after.

DM me if you'd like me to help your sales team improve their ability to close the deal. Don't DM me if you want help hitting a baseball over the fence.
