Steve Van Remortel – Founder/Chief Strategy & Talent Advisor – Stop The Vanilla
Founder’s Story
Our story is about following a passion. Ironically, it’s what we help leaders do now. It was my first semester in college, and I had just put up a stellar 2.2 GPA. I needed to change things up, so I took a night course to see if having a businessperson as a professor would turn the lights on.
About three classes into the semester, he started talking about strategy and how a company needs to differentiate itself from competitors. The room got bright. So bright, it led me to a Masters in Strategy, which further fueled my passion.
After a successful career in sales, I was blessed to get an opportunity to be on the leadership team of a turnaround of a food manufacturing company—a training ground of strategy and talent like no other. We went on a run from $5 to $30 million in 4.5 incredible years until being sold.
As I was looking for a new company to lead, I networked with 100+ business owners and got a similar response from each of them: “I’m not ready to give you that job yet because that’s my job, but while you’re looking, why don’t you help us get the right plan and the right people – and the rest is history.
With the help of my amazing team, we’ve been following our passion for strategy and talent development ever since. We train/coach Consultants and SMB leaders to Win at Talent and create a great place to work by using behavioral science, AI and software to execute your strategy and talent plan to hire smarter, retain top performers, develop future leaders, and boost communication, accountability and productivity.
We have helped thousands of leaders achieve their business, career, and life goals with the right strategy and right talent. We hope you’re next. Those Who Plan – Profit!
