Looking for a talk that’s richer than a sugar rush?
Whether you are organizing an event or you need a speaker to inspire a group of leaders, you owe it to your audience to get more than just another talk. What you need is someone who can flip their perspective on how they think about leadership, communication and team collaboration.
Here’s an uncomfortable truth many people know: Many leadership speakers offer motivational messages that feel good in the moment but fade quickly. Their talk is a lot like a sugar rush and once it wears off, people realize they cannot apply much of what they heard.
Your people face real challenges and they deserve more than just another talk. They deserve a speaker with real-world experience that comes from being in the trenches working with leadership teams in various industries. They deserve to have a speaker that can interact with them live about their issues and get concrete ideas they can apply.
Steffan is the speaker your audience needs and deserves.
