Steve Viola has had a distinguished career in the United States’s Navy, most of which in Naval Special Warfare (the SEALs) deployed around the world, where he reached the senior position of Command Master Chief. His training as a leader and a medic makes him particularly attuned to how people tick physically and mentally under chaos, something he is devoting his post retirement life to as speaker, coach and friend. He also provides in-the-field safety and security support to a wide range of clients. Steve’s approach to dealing with challenges practically and with positive humour always inspired me - so I’m really delighted to have this conversation with him today and hope you’ll enjoy it too.
