Hey there. I’m Steve, but most people call me Schlaf.
I contain multitudes—contradictions, potentials, and all the space in between. To reduce myself to a list of titles would be a disservice. That said, I am a father, a husband, a son, and a brother. I’m a writer, meditator, cyclist, nature-lover, lifelong learner, a practicing Buddhist, and so much more.
Professionally, I’m an executive coach, transition guide, and the founder of Downshift, a boutique coaching firm that helps high achievers navigate transition and change with intention, clarity and purpose.
This space is for my musings, reflections, and whatever else bubbles up along the way.
