Programs
Surviving Life with Laughter
Would
you like an after-dinner speaker that will involve your entire audience
in laughter and activities? Are you looking to start a convention/conference in a fun and upbeat way? Would you like to provide your staff with a program
full of audience participation that will have them laughing, relaxed, and
ready to tackle the heavier issues? Or do you need a closing speaker that
will have folks saying, "Wow! I had such a good time at this conference
and I learned so much too!"
Then "Surviving Life with Laughter" is the program for your group. Steve tailors his signature keynote to fit your time allowance and goals. He continually updates this program with new activities so that clients can enjoy the program over and over.
Listen for the laughter, delight in the smiles,
and cherish
the chuckles!

Closure and Review
--- --- --- ---
"You were definitely worth every penny and having heard you I would recommend you raise your rate. We have paid money for speakers that are only half as good as you. A number of people came up to me after your presentation to tell me not only that they enjoyed the presentation, but how it impacted their thinking."
Brenda Hatfield, Missouri Governor's Conference on Agriculture
"You exceeded our expectations. We were looking for an energetic, interesting, and fun session to send our Training Coordinators home with a smile. You were completely successful in achieving this goal for us!
"We have had nothing but positive feedback about your presentation. You were right on target, and we especially enjoyed the interactive and playful elements you injected, not to mention the prizes. Thanks you for your efforts to ensure the success of our conference!"
