Greg Elliott
SVP, Human Resources/Administration at Navistar International Corporation
I have worked with Steve for more than 10 years and have come to rely heavily on his coaching and perspective. Steve provides sound counsel, always striking the right balance between the theoretical and the pragmatic. I have benefitted from his insights and judgement through the years and as a result have engaged him to coach other executives at our company. While his coaching has become invaluable to me, I did not initially engage him to be a coach. I engaged him to work with my team on organizational design. He skillfully facilitated a number of sessions that allowed us to sharpen our focus on the most important issues and opportunities. He brings contemporary thinking and tools to the table, which creates new distinctions, perspectives and action plans. But more importantly, at least in my opinion, Steve brings experience and wisdom that he has developed through the years as a businessman, educator and OD professional that can’t be distilled to a PowerPoint presentation. I’m glad that Steve and I have had the opportunity to work together.
Caryn Guinta
E.V.P., Director of Employee Resources
I have had the opportunity to work with Steve over the past 12 years. As a coach and consultant, he has provided organizational solutions which focus on the specific business/client needs. His Socratic method drives the right approach and solution for each situation. I value and depend on his ability to deliver a broad bandwidth of expertise from teambuilding to leadership development to executive coaching. I depend on Steve for insights which he brings to the table because of his knowledge and experiences working with a vast array of clients. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with Steve on projects and change initiatives going forward.
Michael Jacoby
Executive Director at Illinois Assoc of School Business
I have been working with Steve for 12 years. He helped me as a Superintendent of Schools to establish a leadership development framework that still is having fruit today. Now as a not for profit CEO, Steve and I have continued to work together to develop a leadership institute and various topical leadership academies for school leaders. But I value Steve most as an executive coach. He gets me and he really understands my business and the people that I work with. I really don’t think I would be nearly as successful in my previous or current roles were it not for Steve’s keen insights and coaching. If you are looking for a fantastic coach, develop other leaders or want to plan some organizational changes – Steve is the best.
Annette Freund
Senior HR Leader
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Steve in a variety of roles over the past 10 years. Currently, he and I are collaborating as co-chairs of the Chicago Sinfonietta’s West Suburban Corporate Committee. Steve has a great deal of skill in helping an organization become more effective. I also view Steve as a personal mentor and confidante, and I greatly value his insight any time I have to make a significant decision about my own career. Steve has a way of asking me the questions I should ask myself but fail to think of on my own. This is tremendously helpful in making quality decisions. I highly recommend Steve for his insight, knowledge, and coaching ability.

Retired – Assistant Superintendent at Geneva CUSD 304
Steve Treacy worked with our leadership team for several years. His skillset in organizational development and team-building, as well as his insights into our team really helped us to work more effectively together. Steve has a repertoire of strategies that can be applied to any organization in which trust, collaboration, and commitment are essential for success.
Jim Weihrouch

Steve has been my consultant to consultant coach for nearly a year. He has helped me in many ways; most recently he is helping me refresh the knowledge learned from my MBTI qualification training five years ago. I highly recommend Steve’s knowledge, expertise, and coaching ability.
Bob Tucker

I consider Steve a highly trusted advisor who has proven himself, several times, in helping my company, and me, overcome organizational and personal stumbling blocks. He is definitely a go-to-guy for helping organizations and their leaders accomplish great things.
Becky Andricks

I’ve known and worked with Steve for several years and he has been a great asset to our company. With his guidance, analysis and direction it has made our company grow. His multi faceted background as consultant, pilot and flight instructor has served us well.

Congrats on a most excellent Consultants Workshop at CODIC on Saturday. While I filled out the after-session survey with similar, positive comments, I feel compelled to thank you again presently. You certainly made it worth my drive! I still think back fondly to being your student in the Benedictine Masters Degree program, where I really got to see the impact a good simulation could have on learning
