A partner in developing leadership, gaining insight and leveraging strengths for growth.
Steve Longan is a research, development, and communication professional with an extensive background in studying how organizations and groups do their work: leading, communicating, making decisions, changing, using technology and growing. He believes in listening and observing so that he can understand the organization on its own terms, with the goal of helping organizations orient themselves around concepts and strategy that will strengthen their culture, empower their people, and turn their vision into reality. Steve combines his deep experience with organizational communication and his passion for helping others to help design, develop, and deliver Rewire’s program offerings.
Steve’s strength is in his commitment to staying at the forefront of research and outcome-informed practice, and in his ability to see connections between organizational dynamics, stakeholders, and actions. Both of which enable Rewire to offer clients the best of what’s available for both individual and team growth.
Steve has a B.S. in Communication Studies from Multnomah University, a post-graduate Certificate in Organizational Communication Management from the University of Portland, and a Master’s in Theology from Multnomah University. He has over 7,500 hours of organizational observation and analysis, and another 5,000+ hours of teaching/instruction. He has spoken and facilitated at over 200 events and planned and developed over 400 more. Steve is a Professional Fellow at the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital at Harvard Medical School, ICF certified coach, certified Leadership Circle 360 analysis and leadership devolopment, Results-Based Coach from the Neuro Leadership Institute, DiSC behavioral analysis and training, etc..
Steve lives in Oregon. When not at Rewire, he spends his time playing three instruments (drums, guitar and piano…though not usually all at once), taking classes to stay sharp (on a variety of subjects), and coaching his son’s soccer team (because, as Pope John Paul II said, "Of all the things that do not matter, football is the most important."). And through it all, he is constantly on a quest to make the perfect espresso. Some days he succeeds.
