Testimonials:
Steve did a great job of sharing insights that drove conversation afterward, with every team member sharing their thoughts and engaging in a meaningful discussion - Bruce Copner, DISYS IT Sales & Recruiting
Steve was so easy, fun and energetic to work with! His passion is contagious, and he left the audience inspired to make the most of their life. His background is full of various experiences, so he is sure to relate to the whole audience. - Alyssa Warring, Detroit Metropolitan Apartment Association
Steve did an awesome job speaking as the last speaker of our three day conference, which is a hard spot to be in and have the ability to keep the group engaged. He was able to do that and much more and kept the group laughing and learning for the hour we had him. Great discussion for any business or team leader to be a part of. - Allie Hancock, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce Executives (MCCE)
Steve worked hard to understand our audience including their concerns and pain points, so he could relate his presentation to those areas, and he was spot on! – Toni Nuernberg, National Association of Credit Managers (NACM) North Central
Steve was great to work with! He took the time to get to know details about our group and the conference program. He even offered to do a promotional video for our meeting (which I took him up on) and he recorded the video in no time.
We also appreciate that he texted us when he arrived at the hotel and let us know he would be down early to make sure everything was ready for his presentation.
His message hit the mark and was the perfect wrap-up for our program. It was humorous, relatable, and full of practical leadership lessons. After his presentation he took the time to chat with attendees and even offered to help Lauren and I pack up our table!
I really can’t think of anything he could have done differently to make his presentation better.
