UNCOMPROMISING

How an unwavering commitment to your why leads to an impactful life and a lasting legacy

How does a poor kid from the housing projects make it to the upper echelon of corporate America? For Steve White, it’s the result of an uncompromising attitude and work ethic. A natural storyteller, Steve’s mission as a leader and now a speaker has been to create a table of prosperity for all. He inspires audiences to tap into their own potential by relating lessons learned from painful yet pivotal moments on his life journey.

It is these painful yet pivotal moments that have inspired Steve to reflect on and live by seven pathways—universal truths that have led him through crucible moments and critical life changes. Today, Steve shares these pathways with audiences and in his new book, Uncompromising.
