Steve Martin

I am a Royal Society-nominated, internationally recognised author and expert on the psychology of influence, persuasion and leading change. I work with senior leaders and policymakers helping them to influence and communicate effectively, build (and restore) trust and shape culture especially in complex circumstances and environments of increasing distrust. My key skill is in taking insights from social and organisational psychology and turning them into applicable, tailored strategies and plans that deliver measurable impact and change. My work is delivering meaningful outcomes resulting in sustained change in industries including financial services, health, pharmaceuticals, policy (esp. environment & transport) and professional sport. My work has influenced corporate strategy and public policy leading to real-world outcomes that have positively impacted millions. I am a member of the world’s most cited living team of experts and authors whose suite of books have sold over 8.5 million copies and been rated as ‘Breakthrough Ideas for Business’. My own include Influence At Work (2025), Messengers (2019) and the New York Times international bestseller Yes! Secrets from the Science of Persuasion. (2008).
