co-founder | GiANT Worldwide

Steve Cockram is dedicated to empowering the leader in everyone. He is an international speaker, author, and consultant to top-level executives and leaders around the world. He is a subject matter expert on personality and wiring, organizational leadership, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal communication. Steve is the co-founder of GiANT Worldwide, a global leadership consultancy. He is also co-author of the books 5 Gears and 5 Voices.

 Steve’s passion for leaders, team communication, change management and work/life balance is clearly echoed through his books, speaking and executive consulting. He is coach to a number of CEOs and is a sought-after speaker both in the US and in his native UK. He inspires audiences to create better organizations through his heart-level stories, use of humour and expertise in human interactions.

Cockram leadership and management models have widespread appeal in large part due to the multiplication effect – rather than just the leader being transformed, they provide a framework for spreading this transformation throughout organization through ‘intentional apprenticeship’.

Steve has been married to Helen for 24 years, during which time they have lived in 12 different houses on two continents. They are now living back in the UK in Gerrards Cross, London with their three girls. This has helped him with his moderate addiction to Liverpool soccer (or football, in his case).

I spent a good chunk of my 20s and early 30s traveling to different parts of the world on volunteer projects, ranging from serving Native American tribes in South Dakota to underprivileged youth in Mongolia.  It was on these trips I started thinking about investing as a potential tool to uplift communities.

I moved out to Bay Area with pretty much one suitcase (and my fair share of student debt) to work as an unpaid intern at an impact fund.  While living on my friend’s couch for six months was not fun, it was an incredibly rewarding experience and the best career decision I made.
