Why Steve?
My approach is simple: I develop content that I would want to hear. How many times did you hear a good message, but left without knowing what you should do differently? That’s why I design my keynotes to capture the audience’s attention and hold it through humor and real-life stories, while showing them impactful, tangible actions which are immediately applicable.
My content comes from the heart (and mistakes) of my experience as a leader, mental health advocate, business owner, executive coach and global citizen. All share my philosophy to ‘be you, but greater’—which means you don’t have to change who you are, but we all can do some things a bit greater. Topics include leadership, mental health, developing others, culture, energy management, and more.

“Wow, Steve!! I just caught your latest keynote, and I’m absolutely blown away! You have this amazing gift of being authentic, hilarious, and educational all at once. It’s seriously something special. As I looked around, it was obvious how completely engaged the audience was. You had everyone captivated from start to finish, and those 45 minutes felt like they flew by in five!
What I absolutely loved was how you connect your personal stories with powerful leadership lessons. It felt like you were speaking directly to each of us, making everything so relatable and inspiring. I left feeling energized and ready to put your insights into action!
Thank you for your incredible wisdom and for leaving us all so fired up!”
Keynotes that get remembered and referred to long after they’re done.

Meet Your Speaker
Steve Baue
Executive Coach, Speaker, Award-Winning CEO & Entrepreneur
30+ Years as a Global Thought Leader
I’m fortunate to have worked for more than 30 years at two international market-leading companies, overseeing global organizational/leadership development and human resource functions at an executive level. I’ve also known change, which is why I can help you navigate what you're going through.
Beyond the corporate career (that I crushed) I am also an award-winning, Titan 100 CEO, business owner and entrepreneur. For more than 10 years, I have led multiple businesses as CEO and owner of Wisconsin’s premier mental health benefit company, an elevated mental wellness center, Steve Baue Coaching and the Baue Management Group.
During that time, I’ve become a professional keynote speaker, specializing in leadership and mental health topics, author, and sought-after Executive Coach. All of the above led me here — helping wealth management and business leaders like you make a lasting impact on both their organizations and the world around them.
My goal is simple: be the guide that helps you be you, but greater.
