Coach Introduction

Steve specialises and has a passion to coach people who are looking for positive changes in their lives.

The purpose of his coaching is to empower people to take control over their lives; to achieve the happiness and success that they desire; and to bring out the best in themselves to reach their full potential. 

He is committed to assisting people in identifying and resolving obstacles that are stopping them from achieving desired outcomes in their life.

Steve firmly believes that coaching can profoundly improve & transform all aspects of people’s lives and help them to achieve the results that they desire. He has personally experienced the benefits of coaching in his own life, which he briefly shares below.

“About 5 years ago I was feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled with the career that I was in. I had self-worth issues. I didn’t believe in myself and my ability to achieve what I wanted in life. I was feeling anxious about almost all life decisions. I worried about things all the time, especially about my ability to provide for my family and would often experience mood swings. My unhappiness spread to the point where it was having a ripple effect on various areas of my life. I often felt drained and low in energy. I was always giving to others and not allowing myself to receive because of my own self-worth issues. When I experienced mood swings it would impact the ones that I loved the most; my wife and children. I would get upset and irritated over trivial things. I experienced changes in my behaviour and personality that were unpleasant to me and others. At this point I realised that I needed to do something about this as I did not want to continue down this path. I started searching for some available options to assist me and made a decision to undertake some coaching.

The coaching that I received provided me with the awareness, education and actions that I needed to take to turn my life around. It helped me to believe in myself and to recognise the value that I had to offer. It brought to the surface underlying issues that were holding me back from achieving what I wanted in life. Once these issues were identified I was able to take steps to resolve them. It provided me with the necessary support and encouragement that I needed to take the actions that were required for me to achieve greater happiness and fulfillment in my life. Coaching taught me to focus on what was important to me in my life and to deal with challenges head on by taking action to move through them.

As the result of coaching I am now in a career that I love. I have wonderful relationships with my family, friends, clients and I continue to foster relationships that add value to my life. I have developed a self-belief that I have the power and potential within to do the things I want to do in my life. I am feeling very content with my life and who I am as a person.”

Through his coaching he assists people in areas such as: 

  • Improving life balance;
  • Managing stress;
  • Handling emotions such as fear, anxiety, worry, doubt etc.
  • Dealing with setbacks and frustrations;
  • Developing and improving relationships (i.e. partner, children, family, friends, work colleagues etc.);
  • Regaining motivation and energy;
  • Boosting self-image and confidence;
  • Breaking poor habits of behaviour;
  • Getting more organised;
  • Managing time more effectively; and
  • Career selection & transition.

Steve has a Cert IV qualification in Coaching for Life & Business and a Cert IV qualification in Training & Assessment. He also facilitates Cert IV Coaching and Master Coaching courses to train other individuals to become effective coaches. Prior to becoming a Life Management & Success Coach he served in the military (Air Force) for 19 years.

What my clients say about me

"Steve is not only a passionate and dedicated coach but a life-line to many like myself.

Each session with Steve was a refreshing realisation that I can do it and I certainly am more and better than what I think.

Steve directed me in all positive directions, identified barriers and negative beliefs and always aligned me to my purpose and goals.

He generously shared his vast knowledge and experiences and always sort goals and actions for me, to serve me better.

Steve is a very professional and competent coach, yet a very patient and very supportive person.

Thank you Steve for all the encouragement and inspirations. I am a better man."

-- Franco R. --

"After dealing with a number of personal coaches over the years I have found Steve's approach to be the best.

His attention to detail, passion and personal dedication to ensure that you are truly empowered to set, reach and maintain your goals and make a positive change in your life is second to none.

I highly recommend Steve to anyone who wants to get the most out of everything they want to achieve in life.

Thank you Steve."

-- Nathan C. --

"I would like to thank you very much for your friendship and guidance. When I came to you I wasn't very happy within and felt that I was lacking meaningful direction. After a few sessions I found that my attitude & outlook on life had changed for the better.

I now have a purpose again and life is exciting. Onwards and upwards always!

Steve, you truly are a guru and great bloke.

Forever grateful."

-- Greg N. --

"I recently received a coaching session with Steven Decker after hearing one of his webinars. There are a lot of 'so called experts' around who state they are more than they say. And I am very hesitant as of past experiences. I was wanting some clarity and direction with something I was dealing within my business and my personal life. By the end of the session, not only did I have a CLEAR direction of what was needed to happen, but who I needed to be to get it done. Steven's approach was professional and relaxed at the same time to make me feel comfortable within the first 15-20 mins of the hour session. To connect that easily, makes it so much easier to say how I feel and get to the bottom of my challenge quite quickly without wasting the time. By the end of it, I felt like I had known Steven for quite a while. I will be continuing to have more coaching with Steven within the new year as it is more valuable than you can imagine. I recommend Steven to anyone who wants to achieve more within themselves than they thought they ever could. Thanks a lot Steve."

-- Jayson Mair --

"Steve is an approachable guy who was focused on guiding me towards finding the answers I needed to go forward. I had been out of work for some time and was lacking in confidence in myself until I started working with Steve. He helped me change my attitude and outlook by encouraging me to have goals and dreams."

-- David S. --

"It is so difficult to go foward when your goal in life is not really clear to you. Steve made me realise my potential, talents, skills and strengths and gave me a good self-confidence to believe in myself and improve my life in general. Steve has provided me with clarity. He gave me a good perspective of what I could possibly achieve by helping me look at every side of myself. This is one of the priceless things that you can get from coaching. Thanks Steve."

-- Albert P. --

 "Steven's professional and supportive approach was welcome, yet challenging to uncover negative thought patterns that hold back progress, growth and an abundant life. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone who wants to break free from their past and unhelpful thought patterns."

-- Aaron E. --

"Steve believed in me when I found it next to impossible to. His professionalism, dedication and the passion he had to see me succeed, was so much more than I could have ever imagined I would have received from anyone.

It truly was an amazing experience to have Steve batting for me for what seemed to such a short chapter in my life that has had such a profound effect upon my drive, determination and ambitions.

I no longer am lost and directionless. Without the help of Steve and his profound teachings, I would not have my purpose and direction so clearly define for me.

I thank you Steve."

-- James S. --

"Steve changed the way I think, in just one coaching session! I wish I met him many years ago!! Now, I am much more confident in communicating with my colleagues and can establish a better relationship with others. Thank you, Steve.

-- Sharif S. --

"Steve is very passionate about what he does. He has a genuine interest in people and although he provides empathy gets to the point to provide useful and pragmatic advice across many life areas. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve to you if you need some 3rd party life coaching advice."

-- Robert W. --

"I found the coaching session with Steve GREAT and his words were inspirational - just what I needed. I have been active each morning since we spoke. I am keen now to continue my journey of weight loss which will make me regain my confidence and positively affect different aspects of my life."

-- Donna P. --

"Steve's coaching helped me set goals that were important to me and more importantly, goals that I felt were attainable. With his guidance I have felt more confident in achieving daily milestones with a clear understanding what I feel is important in my life now and my future.

I would recommend coaching with Steve if you want to make a difference in your life."

-- Jason Y. --

"Steve's coaching technique is very positive and he explains what useful strategies can be used to overcome problems. Whether it is stress, career or personality clash, he always seemed to have the right approach. Highly recommend attending his seminars as a starting point."

-- Gerard P. --

''Many times we blindly believe that all our success is innate or natural.

The truth is, no matter what level of expertise one achieves, everybody needs a coach. Every great sportsperson or professional researches and adopts the best practices of mentors in order to grow and remain competitive.

I will be forever grateful that I found Steve Decker, who is a professional coach, facilitator and paradigm shifter. I am happy to report that Steve has assisted me to make measurable progress in several key areas of my life and he has skillfully uncovered other areas where I was not even aware that I needed help.

Did Steve do it all for me? Oh no, I had to do it for myself, but isn't that how all significant, lasting improvements are made? The truth is, I would not have made several changes in my business and personal life withouth Steve's specific counselling and effective coaching.

As and added benefit I have shed 7 kilos in the last four weeks as I continue to make my life healthy and whole.

Thank you Steve."

-- Robert C. --

"Having previously undertaken similar personal growth courses in the past, I engaged Steve's services and requested Steve that he not only use his typical personal enhancement format in our sessions but to also help me focus on personal issues which I believed were hindering my professional growth.

Steve customised his sessions to suit my request and within a few months exceeded my expectations.

I found Steve to be passionate about his craft, a good listener, an honest and caring educator, and an all round genuine bloke.

As a General Manager, I highly recommend that Steve's services be undertaken to enhance personal growth to all levels of management.

All the very best Steve and thank you!"

-- Tass T. --

"Steve is inspirational - literally. He gets his results by connecting his clients with the most motivating force there is, the inspiration of their own goals and dreams."

-- David C. --

"I have been a client of Steve's for some time and have always known him to be a compassionate, empathetic, calm and understanding person. His honest, no fuss, easy nature has always made me feel safe and wanting to adopt his commonsense approach to any issues I might be facing.

Steve has a great calming ability that always makes me feel at ease, he makes me feel like it is actually okay to be me and that my truth is important.

Steve leads by example; he practices what he preaches!

Steve is not only my 'life coach', he is also someone I'm proud to say is my friend, a friend with whom I have a great mutual respect."

-- Jeremy C. --

 "The best learning that came from my coaching sessions with Steve is the need for consistency to do the things that lift my state of mind above the line of negativity and into positivity e.g. reading affirmations daily, doing gratitude exercises daily and doing at least 1 thing a day that makes me happy. I learnt importantly the need to make sure this becomes part of my lifestyle and not just to use it when I am down.

Thank you Steve for the help and guidance you provided to me to work this out."

-- Lyndon B. --

"Thanks so much for all of your help and support Steve. I always feel uplifted and inspired after our sessions. Without you I wouldn't have stayed on track to achieving my goals and continued to work on feeling great about myself. Looking back at where I was, I can honestly say that I am happier now than I can ever remember being, and it's your support and encouragement that has got me there. Thank you!"

-- Scott E. --

"If someone had suggested Life Coaching could help me to get over my marriage breakdown, and then to realise what true happiness was, to enjoy life and find new challenges, improve my organisational skills both at home and in my work, then I would have said - interesting, but not for me. However, after accidentally logging on to 'Click A Life Coach' and registering for a wonderful complimentary session with Steve, then enrolling in the package, so much of my life has changed - my happiness, my confidence to take on new challenges and my ability to just walk tall and smile, plus I have met someone else to share my life with. Who knows where that will take me but life is definitely more exciting than it has been in years. Steve has just been absolutely fantastic from day 1 and I believe my success has been because I fully embraced what Steve had to offer through Life Coaching."

-- Sue D. --

"I have been coached by Steve Decker for the last 10 months and in that time I have put into practice what we go through every session and the outcome in those exercises have really pushed me out of my comfort zone. My life has been an incredible journey since meeting Steve. I have to say that he is the most inspiring man I have ever met and I love having my fortnightly sessions with him because most times listening to Steve's examples really awakens a light bulb in my head of truth. He is so passionate about life that whenever he speaks it's always with so much excitement and a real enjoyment for life! I found Steve to be understanding when I didn't take actions in areas of my life that needed working on. Steve is patient and worked through to get me to see the issues that were stopping me from achieving my goals.

I recommend that everyone that is going through small or big changes in life have a coaching session with him. You will always come out more charged and ready to take action."

-- Helen A. --

"Steve appeared in my life when I really needed his help. He reminded me of much, taught me much more and kept me on track when I was meandering, reminding me to stay positive when I wasn't. I thank Steve for his kindness, his empathy, his assistance, his teaching, his integrity and for being there always at the right moment."

-- Anna S. --

"When I met Steve I was at an extremely low point in my business.

I could not see a light at the end of the tunnel for me.

When I spoke to Steve he opened my mind to a new world of possibilities and made me realise that I could succeed if I believed in myself and my dreams.

He encouraged me and lifted me up with his coaching.

I am now pleased to recognise Steve's contribution in assisting me to turn my business around.

I have doubled my profits in my business in a few short months and I am now taking steps to expand and grow my business to the next level.

I would highly recommend Steve's coaching service to anyone.

Thanks Steve."

-- Laila H. --

"The coaching sessions have really changed my life and the way I think.

I only think positive thoughts of what I want in my life and it really works.

I always wanted to work with children so finally I made my dream come true and I now work in a fantastic child care centre.

The coaching sessions made me realise that your needs and desires in life are important, that I am special, and that life is short so you should live it fully.

I am thankful for these sessions."

-- Maria A. --

"I'd like to thank Steve Decker for the time he shared with me as my Life Coach.

Steve showed true passion in wanting me to achieve the goals I had laid in our first session.

He was always encouraging, supportive, a great listener and gave me many tools to help me achieve my outcomes.

Steve is truly a beautiful man with a big heart, a lot of knowledge, experience and motivation that makes him a successful Life Coach and a person you want to be around.

I receive ongoing material from Steve that keeps me focused and motivated to continue on my path to success."

-- Rebecca N. --

"I am learning to be a Life Coach as well as working on my own personal development. Steve became not only a fantastic friend but a mentor for me in regards to my coaching business and personal matters.

He has fantastic knowledge and experience that he was eager to pass on to me, and he has a great attitude towards life which is infectious.

Being a naturally pro-active goal setter and achiever, Steve tapped into and strengthened these natural tendencies in me by helping me to gain focus and clarity and making sure I was doing things that I needed to achieve my goals.

It was great having someone to share your innermost fears with without feeling stupid or embarrassed and having someone help you gain the skill sets you need in life to resolve them.

Steve is an incredibly gentle soul who provides you with the nurturing supportive environment you need to become the best you can be."

-- Joanne R. --

"I found Steve Decker to be a natural at coaching. His passion and genuine interest in human relations were refreshing.

He made me feel comfortable and at ease with issues that I probably wouldn't have openly talked about.

I was able to resolve issues that I hadn't dealt with in a long time.

His warmth and compassion are very comforting. His belief in me very encouraging.

Thank you Steve for being you!"

-- Rose C. --

"I have found Steve to be a very dedicated coach. He is very supportive and encouraging. He is direct without being abrasive and he always brought a sense of excitement when he was working with me. I found that he was able to support me in every situation that I wanted to explore. Steve is an experienced coach who practices what he teaches and therefore was a great example for me."

-- Kaoru F. --

 "Thank you Steve. Your coaching provided me with valuable insight into my barriers and you gave me practical, ready to implement strategies to achieve my goals. At first it was overwhelming to see how much I wanted to accomplish, then it became a joy to devote attention to the different areas that make a difference to me.

I have definitely gained a lot from our interactions and I have ticked off many of the things I set out to do. It's great having another perspective. It really brings you closer to success."

-- Jennifer L. --

 "Steve is genuinely interested in helping people to improve their own lives.

With an easy to follow, practical format to his coaching sessions I found my priorities becoming clearer and my motivation to attain my personal goals heightened.

Steve sets tasks during each session which enable a person to reflect on, redefine and refocus their life goals and purpose.

Along with Steve's wonderfully positive outlook and kindness also comes a wealth of experience from his previous career/work experience as well as many life challenges he too has had to face. Steve is walking the talk. He is living the dream. That in itself is Inspiring!

Steve helped me rediscover 'who I am' and 'what I want'. From this, my husband and I have moved with our kids interstate to pursue opportunities and it has been one of the best things we have done as a family. Without the coaching experiences I shared with Steve and his counselling we may not have taken the leap forward that we needed. Now, there's nothing stopping us.

If you are thinking about undertaking a life coaching experience - just do it. Steve will help you identify your desired direction, guide you to build your strength and skills, then set you on your way. Enjoy the journey."

-- Anita T. --

"Steve is sincere in his willingness to help, an empathetic listener, honest about his own challenges, gentle in his manner and a dream come true for people looking for a living example of integrity.

Steve's humility is not only what helps his client think 'wow, Steve did it so I can too' but also what makes him great, in the fullest sense of the word - as a man and as a Coach.

Thank you Steve. I am so grateful to have had a Coach who could understand my need for spirituality as holistically as you could."

-- Samia H. --

"When I first met Steve Decker I was around 115kg, wearing ripped track pants and my previous haircut was around 4 months earlier. I don't know exactly what made me ring a LIfe Coach but I knew that I wasn't living the way I wanted to live...I was working for my family's business and I had no ambition or goals with my job. I was going home moody and irritable and could not work out why. But is was not only this that was annoying me, I had no organisation and no drive in my personal life as well.

When I met Steve he asked me to grade aspects of my life out of 10 and a lot of the scores were lower than 5...Over the next few weeks Steve and I sat down and discussed way to improve these areas.

I am now down to 100kg, going to the gym 4 or more times per week, wear sharp clothes, always have a haircut and feel good about the man in the mirror...Most importantly I realised what I wanted to do with my life career, and that is to be a teacher and I am now working towards becoming one."

-- Martin K. --

"A true blessing to have Steve as my Success Coach. Steve has an amazing gift to be able to identify specific areas that I needed to work on...I could not  have imagined anyone more qualified to walk me through those obstacles. His passion, kind and caring approach to his craft went a long way to allowing me to open up. Although kind and caring, Steve will keep you accountable. For that, Steve, I thank you with all my heart."

-- Ian W. --

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the support and guidance over the past four months. The coaching has been extremely valuable in my life and has changed my approach to the way I now live my life and how I communicate with those around me. My life has changed greatly over this time, so THANK YOU once again."

-- Martin W. --

"As I look back over the last 6 months and how my life has completely changed - in all aspects of it - I see Steve Decker walking by my side as I took every step.

When I stumbled, he put out his hand to help me back up. If I even thought about taking a detour, he gently guided me back on my path. When I came to a fork in the road, he did not tell me which way to go - yet his humble and compassionate questions helped me choose which direction to take.

The journey, not the destination, is now my first priority, and I am having so much fun on this new "road less travelled".

Steve's gentle yet firm example has helped me find my soul purpose and I will be forever grateful to him - for his wisdom, patience, kindness, authenticity, and most of all, holding me true to my dreams."

-- Maggie W. --

"From the first time I met Steven Decker, it was clear this was a man who really cared about people. He 'walks the talk' in practice and is very open in sharing his life's journey, which is often uplifting and inspiring. Steve is very respectful of cultural diversity and this assisted in my feeling safe and supported while being coached. I was impressed with his honesty, humility and sincerity which immediately engendered trust.

Thanks to Steve's coaching there has been measurable change in all areas of my life.

I have been able to leave my job as an Employment Consultant and embark on a new career direction of Life Coaching, working with individuals and group work with vulnerable youth. This is in alignment with my strong belief in personal and community empowerment. Leaving regular paid employment and striking out in a new direction was challenging financially and emotionally. With Steve's coaching, I was able to overcome the angst associated with change and uncertainty and steadily work towards my goals. I am now a Project Manager in a Community Centre, working part time and volunteering at an organisation with programs specially designed for vulnerable youth. My coaching business currently has three paying clients with prospects improving. Since undertaking the coaching, my confidence in achieving life goals has increased incrementally, often surprising friends and family. My improved circumstances and happier disposition is a testament to the power of coaching. I highly recommend Steve Decker as a coach.

-- Phyllis H. --

"Steve. Thanks so much for your help over the last few months. The changes I have noticed in myself by using your programs and techniques has been unbelievable...The way you look at different situations from an outside view has helped me to develop as a person.

Looking forward to continuing our coaching relationship.

Cheers Steve."
