Since I purchased the Washington Post a little more than two years ago, I have had the opportunity to work very closely with Steve in his role as President and General Manager. In that time, I found Steve to be a passionate, talented and creative executive and I was very favorably impressed by how well the team functioned under Steve's leadership, and how respected Steve was by his team. I was particularly impressed by the technology and engineering group that Steve had built, which I found to be a truly world class team. Overall, the Post team has consistently exceeded my expectations and much of the credit for that success goes to Steve.

Steve is a clear and insightful creative thinker and strategist who is also very talented at creating a culture of disciplined execution.

I recommend Steve highly as a potential Director or Advisor to any company that needs practical strategic insight, seasoned executive guidance and a focus on disciplined execution. And beyond everything I've noted above, Steve is also just simply a good man and fun to be around!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for over a decade at The Washington Post. Steve is one of the smartest and wisest people I know. He has excellent business judgment and the ability to get right to the heart of a problem and come up with possible solutions. While Steve's background is in media, his business expertise would apply to any business, from an existing, traditional business to a young start-up. Equally important, Steve is also a great guy and a pleasure to work with.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Steve Hills for nearly 15 years through our mutual association with Young Presidents Organization (YPO) , as well as serving together on numerous non-profit Boards in the Washington DC metroplex. There are very few people that I have known throughout my professional career that possess Steve's unique blend of intellectual and emotional intelligence. His exceptional business intellect spans a wide area of business .....from strategy to operations to solid leadership. In short , Steve Hills is an extraordinary executive and business thinker who has always led organizations with integrity, honesty, and a very high business acumen.

Steve Hills has proven to be an invaluable consulting resource, bringing a keen ability to cut through complexity, a transparent and efficient communications style, and a nuanced and creative approach to business issues of all stripes. Steve leavens his depth of experience in media and digital media enterprises with a sense of humor and a collaborative style that informs both good process and the right outcomes.

I have been lucky to know Steve Hills for nearly 20 years and have found him to be one of the most capable people I know. He has the unusual ability to combine his exceptional business acumen with his understanding of human motivation, a talent that has helped us to formulate a strategy and approach to business and management that has had a significant impact on our success. Those fortunate enough to work with Steve will not only find that he advances their business and professional goals, but that he does so while advancing personal growth and development--a unique gift. Steve brings great perspective because of his diverse set of talents and interests. He is a pleasure to work with and I recommend him whole-heartedly.

...one of the most relevant and dynamic presenters we have had to date...I'm grateful for the role you played in making this year's convention a success.

Steve is a talented business leader and committed mindfulness practitioner. Together, Steve and I have had the pleasure of launching several mindfulness programs for business leaders in the DC-Metro area. Steve is an emerging leader at the intersection of business leadership and mindfulness, and I greatly value his insights into both areas, which is why he is so valuable and impactful as an advisory board member for transformationaljourney.me 

Leadership requires an intimate awareness of the details of your organization as well as the capacity to be aware of what’s over the horizon. Steve has lived the high-stakes life of executive leadership and can show you the tools for inner mastery that can help you feel more awake, alive and effective in your life.

Steve Hills has been my executive coach for four years. Steve's counsel has been invaluable and has changed the trajectory of my career. Steve has helped me tackle seemingly intractable business problems with a pragmatic approach that encouraged humility, a focus on shared interests, and forcing me to sometimes solve for the uncomfortable 'least worst' option. Steve combines a strategic and disciplined approach borne out of his decades of experience as a high level corporate executive with a realistic approach that breaks problems down into practical, human and actionable steps. With Steve's counsel and encouragement, I am now on a road of self-discovery that has made me a more empathetic, thoughtful, strategic and impactful leader.

I have known Steve for three years now. He brings considerable experience with family business, very good communication skills, very good instincts and disciplined but engaging approach to his coaching process. Steve is an excellent listener and asks a lot of questions. To round it off, Steve is one of the smartest people I know. I would recommend him to my peers and have enjoyed the benefits of engaging him in my own company to great advantage.

While reluctant at first, I am so thankful that I contracted with Steve Hills as my Executive Coach. Not only has Steve been instrumental in my career path, but also in my personal life. He is the epitome of critical thinking. Steve took a significant amount of time to understand my goals and objectives before we agreed on "the plan." The first evolution was my gaining an understanding of my goals and objectives which surfaced through ongoing discussion and Steve's perceptive questioning. As my perspective changed over time, I was able to define for myself what my aspirations were and use Steve as a sounding board.
