He’s a personal development expert, comedian, motivational speaker, and author. His popular PBS special brought him into millions of homes. It’s no surprise that he’s been inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame, an honor bestowed upon on fewer than 200 speakers worldwide since 1977.

    Of course the surprises don’t stop there. What was next for this funny guy in the prime of his career? For Steve, it was to trade the standing ovations as a stand-up comedian for maximum fulfillment, and well more standing ovations as a hall of fame speaker.

    Your speach was not only outstanding but it captured everyone′s interest from the inception of the presentation right through to the end. You were funny, you brought some actual true-life points that were, that you experienced in your own personal life to a reality. And you just had the audience captivated from inception to completion of that presentation. So, out of all the events that I have put together on behalf of the hartford for this association, that evening in September based on your presentation was the most successful that we′ve ever had. So, my hat goes off to you for an outstanding presentation and your book is outstanding, I′ve read it and you were just you were right on and you captured everyones interest from the beginning to the end and im still getting rave reviews from some of our clients that that was the most enjoyable evening that they′ve attended on behalf of The Hartford, so thank you.

    “…never in my 19 years of attending and coordinating similar meetings have I seen a speaker generate such enthusiasm. Part of the reason, of course, lies in your delivery – but good delivery without substance is what far too many speakers bring to a forum. Equally important – if not more so – was your message and the sincerity behind it.”
    Jim Wileman
    Allied International

    “Through your humor, personal experiences, expertise, and non traditional approach, you reinforced OIT’s commitment to improving the quality of life for its employees and increased our awareness of the importance and benefits of using humor in the workplace to improve quality of life for ourselves and the organization.”
