Steven Herzberg is a Miami real estate attorney, partner at VHL Law, and a town council member for the Town of Miami Lakes. He joins Access Your Leadership to share his compelling journey from early aviation-lover to accomplished attorney and dedicated public servant. From navigating pivotal career decisions in the wake of the 2008 Recession to building a thriving law career grounded in strong client relationships, Steven exemplifies the power of clarity, curiosity, and service-driven leadership.
What happens when you realize there’s no “perfect time” to take the leap into something you care about? How do you weigh security against growth when facing a fork in the road? What does it look like to lead with clarity…whether you’re mentoring junior colleagues, serving constituents, or advocating for your community? And how do you stay grounded when the stakes are high and mistakes happen?
Steven shares the personal and professional milestones that shaped his path, including years spent cultivating client trust, his early decision to choose experience over salary, and his passion for aviation that still inspires him today. He offers honest reflections on learning from missteps, building a career rooted in relationships, and the importance of telling the truth…even if it feels hard.
