Steven Kirby

Steven Kirby has established himself as one of the UK’s leading speakers on safety, mental wellbeing, and workplace culture. His journey began after a life-changing accident that completely reshaped his perspective on risk, resilience, and human behaviour. Determined to use his experience to make a meaningful difference, Steven founded SKLifeCoachUK, creating a nationally respected organisation that delivers keynote presentations, leadership development, trauma-informed coaching, and post-incident support. His work is driven by the belief that genuine cultural change begins with people, encouraging individuals and organisations to place safety and wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.

Building on his personal experiences, Steven has developed a distinctive speaking style that combines honest storytelling with practical strategies that audiences can immediately apply. Every keynote is designed to challenge assumptions, encourage responsibility, and help people understand the important link between safety, mental wellbeing, and organisational culture. By blending lived experience with trauma-informed coaching, he provides valuable insights that inspire behavioural change rather than simply raising awareness. His expertise has made him a trusted speaker for organisations across the construction, manufacturing, utilities, education, and corporate sectors, particularly those striving to create environments where employees feel respected, supported, and psychologically safe.

Through SKLifeCoachUK, Steven has become widely recognised for helping organisations navigate the aftermath of workplace incidents while supporting long-term cultural transformation. He works alongside leadership teams to manage difficult conversations, rebuild trust after challenging events, and strengthen resilience throughout the workforce. His reputation has been built on delivering practical, sustainable improvements that enable businesses to move beyond compliance and create workplaces where safety and wellbeing are embedded into everyday behaviours and decision-making.

Steven is an exceptional speaker because every message he delivers is grounded in lived experience and genuine understanding. His honest, engaging, and emotionally powerful presentations resonate with audiences at every level, from frontline teams to senior executives. Rather than offering abstract theories, he shares practical lessons that encourage individuals to rethink their attitudes towards safety, resilience, and personal responsibility. By inspiring people to embrace change from within, Steven empowers organisations to develop stronger cultures, improve wellbeing, and ensure every individual feels valued, connected, and committed to making a positive difference.
