I could not have asked for a better presenter than yourself to get our audience motivated and laughing . . . what really caught their attention was the way you tied your topics and discussions to the American Red Cross.

Communications Specialist/Conference Coordinator, American Red Cross

Steve did his presentation on "Team Building with Humor" and did an excellent job. One of the most promising comments I heard was that one of the Team Leaders was going back to their team and "learn how to be funny!"
