Career & Business Coaching Serving Philadelphia, PA

As a certified coach, Steven brings the same leadership principles, strategic discipline, and performance mindset that propelled his own executive success into his coaching and consulting practice. His approach combines executive-level strategy, practical action, accountability, and genuine empathy, creating lasting mindset shifts, increased confidence, and measurable results.

With more than 30 years of executive leadership experience building organizations, leading business transformations, and developing high-performing leaders, Steven Toss helps professionals and business owners unlock new levels of performance, influence, and success.

Through Pinnacle Coaching & Consulting, Steven works with professionals and business owners across Philadelphia, in Center City, University City, the Main Line, and the surrounding suburbs, as well as South Jersey residents who cross the river for work. Philadelphia careers tend to run through big institutions: health systems, universities, pharma and life sciences companies, and financial firms. Those organizations reward people who know how to make their case, and they can leave everyone else waiting years for the next step.

Whether you're working toward a director role at a hospital system, weighing a move out of academia or pharma, or growing a business in the region, Pinnacle provides the structure and accountability to move forward with clarity. All sessions are virtual, so coaching fits around your calendar, not the other way around.
