💫 LST Alumni Friend Sponsor Spotlight 💫
Meet James Steele, the Founder & CEO of Northshore Amore—a boutique business dedicated to helping couples experience deeper love, romance, and emotional connection.
Through intentional experiences—from romantic dates and unforgettable proposals to intimate weddings, curated escapes, and photography—I help couples stay connected in a world that often pulls them apart. 💙
✨ Why I chose Leadership St. Tammany:
I was encouraged to apply by colleagues who had gone through the program. After learning more, I knew it was something special—but I truly had no idea how impactful it would be.
The experience exceeded every expectation. It connected me with incredible people and gave me a deeper appreciation for our community in ways I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.
✨ What I gained:
A deeper understanding and respect for the complexity and strength of our community.
I learned about our local government, schools, courts, and community services—but more importantly, I saw firsthand the dedication of the people who serve our community every day. That perspective has stayed with me.
✨ Life after graduation:
Since graduating, I feel more connected to our community than ever before. It’s no longer something happening around me—it’s something I feel personally invested in.
That connection has inspired me to be more intentional about getting involved, supporting others, and doing my part to help preserve and strengthen this special place for future generations.
✨ What I’m passionate about:
Connection—within relationships and within our community.
In a world that feels busy and disconnected, I believe in slowing down and being intentional about the people who matter most. Whether through my work or personal life, I’m driven to create more love, presence, and positivity.
✨ What I want other alumni to know:
Northshore Amore was born from a very personal place.
I’ve seen how even strong relationships can drift—not because people don’t care, but because they stop being intentional.
My mission is to help couples stay connected, present, and engaged—so their love doesn’t just start strong, but continues to grow over time. 💫
