people see themselves and their challenges differently, they find a way to effortlessly move past them. Stevie has identified a clear mission. That is, to create 1,000 leaders who put people before profit. It’s a mission he’s committed to for the next 20-30 years. “The best leaders are students of leadership. They actively seek great role models and people from whom they can learn. They don’t rely solely on their experience to stay relevant.” Stevie is no different and has identified areas for personal investment in 2024. He is also working on new ideas to help leaders feel a greater sense of fulfilment. Another tool Stevie has created to help his clients is the Elite Performance Assessment. Ambitious professionals and leaders can quickly identify the skills they most need to improve.

Contact: Stevie Orrill Company: Today Will Be Web Address: todaywillbe.com Nov23478 Leadership can be exhilarating. We are drawn to it in the hope of creating a meaningful impact. It can also be the scariest and loneliest place in the world. Many of the challenges leaders experience today arise from the misaligned belief that leaders are assigned by rank, or that leadership is a position to be achieved. Attaining a position of authority does not make anyone a leader. Leadership is a service to be given. Here we look at what makes Stevie Orrill so unique as he wins his title in the Corporate Coaching and Recruitment Awards 2023. Before launching Today Will Be in 2019, Stevie Orrill worked as a high-level leader in the corporate world for over 20 years. Working for large organisations in the UK & US he established a successful career. He also wrestled daily with a culture that unwittingly prioritises profit over people. “Within organisations, the subject of leadership is often conducted with a degree of arrogance. It is an afterthought. Great effort is placed on incentivising people to comply, rather than inspiring people to produce great work.” The disconnect and misunderstanding around leadership provides fuel to Stevie’s mission. “A short-termism approach to success places leaders under great pressure to deliver immediate results. In response, leaders look for short cuts. Inspiration and motivation are often the first objectives to be overlooked.” “You can’t say ‘our people are the most important thing’ in the hope that people will believe it to be true. The people in your care know how much they are valued. They feel it every single day.” The biggest driver behind Stevie’s work comes from him witnessing the amount of talent that is lost as a result of poor leadership. “Bad leadership causes people to hide, play small, or run away. It isn’t that leaders don’t want to do better or improve their leadership. They really do. They often don’t know how.” A non-negotiable approach that has allowed Today Will Be to build trust with their clients lies in its commitment to service. “I draw a distinction between pleasing and serving. Elite performers are not lacking plaudits. They don’t want to be put on a pedestal and receive blind praise. They want to be challenged. They want to hear the truth, lovingly and without judgement.” To remain relevant in a competitive industry, Stevie is constantly challenging himself and his organisation to innovate. “There’s so much information available for consumption. It’s easier and easier for leaders to go down the wrong path. I like to create and have a low threshold for boredom. Constant innovation is how we get big results for our clients.” In the past year Stevie has created three unique 1:1 coaching programs – Maverick, Warrior & Guru. Each program is designed to support his clients to achieve life-changing results. Additionally he has created a 30-day program – Integrare – to help ambitious performers create a powerful daily routine, as well as The 12-Week Leadership Game, supporting leaders to navigate real world challenges. He has also written a book inspiring elite performers to find their stupidly irrational bliss. The book will be published in 2024. “Tactics and strategy have a place. The reason people create destructive roadblocks runs much deeper. I coach for insight. The world looks one way. In an instant their reality changes.
