Hey there, thanks for stopping by ??
I’m Steve Van Remortel, Chief Strategist and Talent Advisor at Stop The Vanilla.
I’m passionate about helping visionary leaders master the skill of Talent Planning—proactively solving people issues through a Talent Plan—to accelerate company growth.
I founded Stop the Vanilla back in 1999 and started speaking shortly after; I love the opportunity to inspire, educate, and entertain leaders and their teams.
I’ve also sat in your seat. Having led a food contract manufacturing company, I know what it’s like to listen to presenters (i.e., speakers or leaders).
I’ve spent time learning what leaders and attendees want in a presentation, resulting in my three core deliverables for every presentation:
- You will be entertained throughout the speech (Using personal and sometimes self-deprecating humor, stories, and photos)
- You will be engaged and walk away with new insights they can implement immediately (derived from my 20+ years in Talent Planning)
- You will leave the presentation inspired to take action and accelerate the growth of your people and organization
