Steve York, better known as Australia's Best Hostage Negotiator has worked as the Commander of Hostage Negotiations at the New South Wales Police for over ten years and has personally negotiated over 400 critical situations. After 20 years of working in the NSW Police Crisis Negotiation Task Force, he decided to come out of his own way to share his wisdom and provide life-changing training/seminars for people who influence behavior, may it be in the corporate world or not.

He is the co-author of an Amazon best-selling book ‘Negotiation Evolved’ that offers a comprehensive approach to negotiation and influence that can be applied in every situation, from large commercial deals to romantic partnerships and even hostage crises. He is currently completing his second in the area of high-risk negotiation, tentatively titled ‘Crisis Negotiation Evolved’.

Steve has been featured on Netflix, Sky News, and SBS. He has lectured and provided training to government agencies, universities, and private companies across the globe. He has a Master of Science (Risk) from Leicester University, a Master of Dispute Resolution, UTS, and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Director. He continues to give lectures in universities regarding conflict and negotiation skills.

Steve is a tough guy from the outside but thoughtful on the inside. His experiences truly shaped who he is now as a person and aims to share these best practices with the world. He believes that “Words Change People’s Lives” that’s why he pushes forward in this quest in the hopes of helping people gain the mindset, insights, and tools to increase rapport, trust, value, understanding, agreement, commitment, and satisfaction in every negotiation.
