I have been honored to work with and develop deep friendships with many people in the LGBTQ+ community. As I began coaching, I was told by my LGBTQ+ colleagues that I would be an excellent coach to people in this community. See some of their testimonies below. If you are part of this community, whether you are a business leader, a church leader, a non-profit leader, or an individual, I want to specifically reach out to you to let you know that I would love to work with you.

LGBTQ+ LEADER TESTIMONIALS
Steven Helps In Life’s Slumps
When I met Steven, I quickly knew that he really cared for me. I had just ended a three year season of sharing my story as an LGBTQ+ male who was faithfully following Jesus. I had sunk into a slump in ministry and my identity was shaken. Steven has been a shepherd during seasons in the valleys, he has coached me in reconciliation through grief and loss in church leadership, and he has been a friend in times of need. To know that someone has your back, that there is someone you can trust with your story and your future is a huge blessing in life. If you’re looking for someone to aid in turning things around in your life, look no further.
Steven Knows You Before He Helps Shape You
As a single, gay, celibate, executive pastor in a megachurch, I don’t always expect to be understood by others, especially conservative straight pastors. Usually, I have to give a lot of explanation about my background. Steven is one of the most encouraging and thoughtful allies I have ever met or worked with. I feel like he is truly one of us. He is a rare combination of a practical coach with tangible solutions and a sensitive understanding listener who knows how to truly know your heart before trying to help shape it. Most of all, he is a leader worth following and a role model who lives what he believes. Steven Cooper won’t just be your coach. He will change your life.
I’m more confident, more organized, and more productive because of Steven’s help.
I really look forward to my coaching sessions with Steven. His pastoral wisdom and heart for LGBTQ+ people of faith have been a comfort and joy. He’s helped make my vision for my life practical and achievable. I’m more confident, more organized, and more productive because of Steven’s help.
Steven acknowledges the challenges and sees the strengths I have to face them.
Leadership is lonely… and very often terrifying. As a queer follower of Jesus within the Christian community, the burdens of leadership can also feel suffocating. Steven has an uncanny ability to acknowledge the challenges of leadership while at the same time he sees and names the strengths I possess that uniquely equip me to face those challenges. Through connection with Steven, I know and more confidently own the gifts, strengths and even weaknesses that I’ve been entrusted with.
