TESTIMONIALS
DEB CROSS
Program Executive Digital Business Group, IBM
I knew he had the amazing content (resilient life journey, flying rockets, repairing the Hubble Space Telescope, etc) but his effective application of his experiences and insights to our business priorities is what set Steve apart. He was given a vigorous standing ovation at the end of his speech and feedback forms to me had him off the charts, his post event satisfaction scores were the highest of any speaker over the last five years.

Steve did everything he could to ensure the success of this event! Before the event, he was outside welcoming guests.
