STEERus™ Inc., an EdTech startup, previously launched the STEERus Soft Skills Academy, the world’s first blended learning solution for the formal instruction of soft skills like empathy, problem solving, resilience, and workplace behaviors. Today, the company announced the expansion of its executive leadership team to extend its reach into the United Kingdom and European Union. Additionally, the company announced new features and a significant upgrade to its blended learning platform.

“Expanding our reach to serve clients on both sides of the Atlantic, in parallel, makes sound business sense,” said Dr. Loralyn Mears, STEERus founder and CEO. “I am enormously pleased to formally welcome additional members to my executive leadership team to enable this expansion, to increase the depth of our expertise, and to enhance the quality of our services,” she added.

The executive leadership team has been expanded to include: Beth E. Lee, MSC, MBA, Chief Wellbeing Officer; Jeff Harmon, Chief Leadership Officer; Simon Haigh, BA (Hons) Law, Dunelm, MBA, FAIM, GAICD, Chief Growth Officer; and Tania Friedlander, Chief Leadership Strengths Officer.

STEERus is already supported by a highly skilled core team which includes founding member, Poonam Gole, PMP, CPC, ELI-MP, Director of Coaching Programs and Michael Cipriano, Coaching Insights Advisor, among numerous other contributors, and a strong roster of approximately 40 coaches which now spans five countries. As the company grows, it will be better positioned to support companies that have operations in the USA and/or in the UK and EU.

The company will be actively participating in several events this week. As an emerging startup, they have been invited to roundtables and presentations at Collision Conference which has awarded STEERus with the distinction as one of the Top 50 Social Impact Startups. In parallel, STEERus has earned a berth in the competitive EdTech Week Event as one of ten startups invited to pitch at Shark Tank: Future of EdTech is Female, presented by AWS Edstart. Dr. Mears has been named as a mentor for the 25th Virtual Enterprise Executive Conference where entrepreneurial high school students present their business ideas in a tradeshow format to learn and grow from business executives as mentors. Last month, on February 24, 2021, STEERus won first place at a national pitch competition hosted by the National Entrepreneurs Association and sponsored by Dell Technologies.

Each month, the Academy software platform is upgraded, and new features are added. The April release of v1.1 marks a significant improvement in video downloading speed along with enhanced usability design features including style changes and Learning Playlists to foster deeper engagement with clients. A “Reveal Your Superpowers” behavioral assessment is also new to the platform. Fresh content is added weekly.
