About Trenton Moss

I’m a business leader, trainer and coach that inspires those around me to achieve more than they thought they could.

I’m a qualified leadership coach, a former Samaritan (where I provided face-to-face and telephone counseling), and I’ve been coaching and training teams for almost 20 years.

I’m Founder and Head Coach at Team Sterka, a training and coaching business that creates high-performing digital product teams. I conceived and set up the People Skills as a Service program, which transforms people’s behavior and gives them lifelong skills in leadership, emotional intelligence, resilience, and a lot more.

I got a copy of the fab new book - #HumanPowered a couple of weeks ago. Reading it. Loving it.

I’m loving the acronym mnemonics throughout Human Powered. I’m already getting a refresher on active listening, imagining goldfish bowls on peoples’ heads and being reminded of the danger of using ‘why?’.

Jason Mesut
I’ve had the pleasure of getting a copy of Trenton Moss’s book “Human Powered”. The book is well worth reading for anyone involved in digital transformation (a lot of my connections on here 😁)

Andy Britcliffe
Is there anything better than a book delivery? The problem is, do I start with #HumanPowered by @trentonmoss100 or #MissDior by Justine Picardie?

Laura Clark
It’s such an achievement to publish a book - and this one, all about emotional intelligence, a corker. ‘Human Powered’ is so packed full of actionable insight, you’ll start making changes straightaway.

Nikki Gatenby
