His story will move your audience emotionally and create in them a burning desire to do more with their lives, to not waste their time, to maximise every single opportunity and most importantly, to be grateful for what they have. Having overcome certain death many times, Steven’s courage and his enthusiasm is as contagious as his incredible energy. Steven lifts everybody in the room...not just to a level of self-belief, but to a level of knowing...knowing they can achieve in all areas of their lives: work, love, well-being, relationships, academic and personal growth.
You won’t believe the raw power and authenticity of this man who has overcome the most horrendous odds. He has worked out the formula for surviving and for thriving. When born, his parents were told he would soon die and to not bother enrolling him in school...to ‘just take the baby home and keep him comfortable’.
Yet today he is still alive and healthy, he is amazingly successful and he is fearless...and he travels the world teaching others how to apply his formula to win, to not be scared and to grow as a human. Steven shows people how to attain fulfilment and to experience true happiness...perhaps for the first time in their lives..
Steven regularly addresses large audiences at conferences, professional associations, trade shows, symposia and other national, corporate, industry and internationally attended events. His keynote speeches are often used to open or close important events, bringing people up to the highest possible energy and to a level of attentive engagement, so they can make the most of the event. The emphasis is on building excitement, to learn and grow...and inspiring people to achieve.
Often Steven is asked to speak to internal audiences, usually sales and customer service staff, along with managers and board members, to help create a culture of collaboration, of belonging to a cohesive team…and a sense of self belief in every individual person (and as a team) that success is truly achievable. Themes explored include: respect of peers, resilience to rejection, acceptance of change and recognising how a sense of entitlement is self-defeating. The emphasis is on building personal performance, buildingi morale and a commitment to unified goals.
It is critical for many types of events that audiences are engaged with the cause, brand, purpose or theme of the organiser of that event. For example, people are much more engaged at a launch, training, fundraiser, public meeting, membership drive, recruitment event or customer service/PR exercise if they are first brough to a state of motivation. Steven creates this emotional state in your attendees. The emphasis is opening the mind to attitudinal shift and on attaching maximum value to the mission of the organiser.
Steven speaks to the members of professional organisations, to student body of educational institutions, the constituents of non-profit organisations and the clients of government bodies. It is important that non-commercial entities maintain relevance with their stakeholders as often as possible and that communication is positive, valuable and cultivates a sense of belonging - so as to protect that membership from deterioration. The emphasis is on building audience affinity with the core values of your mission and to elevate the perceived importance of your organisation.
