Fun-loving, world-class author and speaker.
Exceptional friend and traveling buddy.
“The words ‘unstoppable mindset’ comes to mind when I think of Coach Steve and what he has done for me and the alumni of my program. He is able to take very complex situations and boil them down into the most simplistic, commonsensical forms and puts his unique Coach Steve perspective and mindset spin on things…. He makes you feel like you can do almost anything you set your mind to — and the reality is that you probably can.” “Coach Steve’s perspectives and his advice on business transfers into business relationships which easily transfer into raising kids, or developing a relationship with someone very special to you and your relationship with your own self. Who could benefit from Coach Steve’s help… anybody that is a human being who wants to get better at this game called life and do what Coach Steve calls ‘Achieving Your Lifetime Best!’ “

Hear Winn’s candid experience in working with Coach Dailey
World-class architect, yet-to-be-discovered singer/songwriter Went from a “best kept secret” to a highly sought after expert…in only one year. Learned how to turn exceptional talent into a profitable business model.
“My business was in a very critical place and he was able to help me transition to being one of a handful of top architects in Texas. He’s had a tremendous effect on not only my business life but my personal life as well. It’s been a great year. Just the other day I signed a $250,000 agreement for my services.”
Casey HibbardHear what Casey achieved with the help of Coach Steve.
Meticulous researcher. Outdoor-loving traveler. Sought coaching to “learn to sell” but discovered that she needed to solidify her brand and amplify her differentiation. Meanwhile, re-invented pricing and therefore profitability. Discovered writing as a business and marketing tool and wrote her first book.
“I am excited to say that [hiring Steve] was one of the most successful investments I ever made in my business because these are skills that I continue to have. Steve guided me in a very customer centric sales approach and it’’ made a huge difference. Prior to coaching with Steve, I probably landed, or closed maybe 4 out of 10 of the people that I actually talked to in terms of sales. Now it’s probably 8 out of 10. That represents about $80,000 worth of business across 25 new clients. I will continue to recommend Steve to colleagues of mine because it is an investment that continues to pay off.” Note: Casey’s picture is significant because she’s at Machu Picchu, a trip she took because she met a business goal that Steve helped her set.

Went from new assignment selling services she’s never sold, to creating a sales relationship model now adopted by entire organization. Learned that adversity creates opportunity.

John HathawayJohn tells about his experience working with Coach Steve
Devoted Husband and Father with a zest for personal growth.
Though John didn’t “need” a major business overhaul, he was operating his business as though he was new – still trying to prove himself as credible. Once we reshaped his brand and communication during sales conversations, he was seen as a tenured expert and a true advisor/partner for exactly the right client audience.
“One of the things about [Coach Steve] is that you don’t have to tell him a lot before he knows where to go with things. He is able to come in and look at your company and your situation – where you are and where you need to be – and really tailor solutions and give specific feedback.
He’s helping me to focus and target my business to the clients that I enjoy working with. I am able to charge what I need to charge because I’m working with people that appreciate what I do.

Listen to Jim’s business journey with Coach Steve.
Exceptionally bright intellectual, insatiably curious and technology thought leader.
“[Steve] was instrumental in fixing my business. I wouldn’t be in business right now if Steve hadn’t been asking the questions of myself and then helping me offer answers so that I could get out from underneath the [old] development approach. He helped recognize the roadblocks and then change a direction in the development approach I was using… This resulted in me coming to the market with a better product, less expensively –directly as a result of the work I did with Steve. He asked me hard questions in a way that I could hear what needed to be heard.”
“Steve has a core set of principles or thoughts that resonate with me and I use them all the time. When he shared them with me I recognized his brilliance.”

Paul’s take on Coach Dailey’s coaching “style.
Bullet proof ultra-endurance athlete. No-nonsense, results achiever.
“I found Steve to be much more real. He brings a practical application that he himself has mastered to the table which I haven’t found in the others [coaches]. I haven’t felt that there are a lot of loose and empty words from Steve, a lot of “consultant-speak,” I felt what he said is very grounded and of value to those that heard it.”
“What Steve talks about a lot is authenticity, that encompasses so many things, it is a very rich area. One of the things that I know he keeps people to is their accountability to what they have agreed which requires an uncommon degree of honesty on behalf of the client. The advantage to that is that the results come.”
Good Friend for 20 years
Clauzelle offers “behind the scenes” insight of Coach Steve.
“Steve lives what he talks about. He knows how to ask questions and asks very good questions that we don’t ask to ourselves. It enables him to determine what is going on and what needs to be done to move things forward. There’s a genuine caring…he wants people to win.”

Listen to Lynda’s journey with Coach Steve.
Technology innovator. Humble but energetic companion to many. Developed a new business model that enabled her to launch from a confined (and dangerous) one-client-at-a-time model to becoming a sort-after speaker and content expert. Re-launched her brand and learned the power of networking to new business success.
“He’s really helped me be courageous; he continues to be my Sherpa guide. He kept gently nudging me and leading me to a decision I needed to make… but had a difficult time. He will point you in the right direction and affirm what you are doing.”
Sherry explains how Coach Steve has impacted her family business.
Dedicated wife and mom. Passionate community leader and non-profit contributor. Embraced coaching for both professional and personal development ambitions, resulting in dynamic cross-application of lessons learned to every area of life. Embraced a dynamic and needed role in the practice providing guidance and a stabilizing influence on a dramatically changing practice.
“We were at a crossroads in our business and looking for a particular type of coach… because it was the entire team and the whole business going through a shift, it was tough to do. What Steve was able to do with us is to help us grow into the leadership mode that we needed to exhibit for our team to be able to make that transition. Steve is really great at coaching leaders to be leaders and helped with the entire team.”
“Steve’s in there coaching you while you’re in the trenches which is when all of us can make the greatest change is when we’re in action. I would say to be ready to start growing as a leader, be ready to go into action and be ready to achieve your goals – which I think is what we’re all looking for when we hire a coach.”
