The Vagabond Philosopher

I have had a curious life! As Steve Carter, I have been privileged to work as a consultant with great organisations and leaders all over the world. For a psychologist my life has been unusually adventurous. I was one of the last people to go through Checkpoint Charlie. I was nearly bombed out of my accommodation in Riyadh, I have led leadership development programmes in the Sahara Desert, in the Alps and the Atlas Mountains. I have been an organisation troubleshooter when the going has got really tough and was involved in the recovery of financial institutions following the 2008 Banking Crisis. I have written four management books inc. The Road To Audacity; Renaissance Management and Mentoring in a Week. As an adventurer I have travelled: from the top of the Atlas Mountains to the desert; dragged a toboggan over the frozen snows of Ontario, hiked through the steamy forests and mountains of Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina. Writing and performing  as Steve Bonham I have recorded five albums, written two books: A Little Nostalgia for Freedom and A Beautiful Broken Dream and appeared at book and music festivals all over the UK. My songs make appearances in I-Tunes and other charts.

"In a world full of stationary people, Steve Bonham is always on the move, making new friends, picking up new insights, enjoying new experiences, and reminding the rest of us that three dimensions aren't always enough!"​

​Cahoon Family Professor of History at Emory University, Atlanta

You are truly one of the most remarkable and special people I’ve worked with in my 25 years in banking. Your pragmatism, transparency and telling things as they are, combined with your special sense of humour makes for a fantastic consiglieri
