About Stedman
- I grew up in Whitesboro, New Jersey.

- In 1988, I founded my own marketing and consulting company, S. Graham & Associates, based in Chicago, Illinois, and specializing in identity leadership training for corporate and education markets.
- I’ve since dedicated my career to helping others understand identity and self-actualize their potential.
- I’ve developed a nine-step identity leadership program and written 12 books on identity and identity leadership.
- I also work in schools training parents, students, and teachers, as well as with clients and major corporations to customize programs around leadership development.
