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 gave great advice on the need to stay focused on your end goal, being creative by looking for ways to change the game when you hit roadblocks, and remaining persistent to get to your end target. Reminded me that you need to take a step back, look at the big picture, and get creative when you hit obstacles in your way.  Nice life lesson.

His messages are incredibly powerful, motivational, and super important for the world we’re in today. If you are lucky enough to hear Steve speak, it will improve your life.

Steve did an amazing job at our National Sales meeting!  He studied us and perfectly catered his messaging. It aligned beautifully with our goals, objectives and vision. Steve applied energy, excellent storytelling, humor and humility in a way that made his journey perfectly relevant to the entire sales team. He connected with every audience member. Steve was the perfect speaker for our meeting and left a lasting impression with everyone in the audience!

I was literally blown away…Steve has an amazing aura about him, from kindness and humility to brilliance and grit. He connected with me, and the audience, on so many levels, and as a result, it was one of the most inspiring talks I have ever heard. He is easily one of the best storytellers I have ever heard and he had us at the edge of our seats throughout. He particularly struck a cord with me about balance in life, getting rid of the noise, and focusing on what matters.

Steve delivered great best practices as a seasoned professional explorer to our portfolio company leaders. We can apply these practices to our businesses immediately! His story-telling capabilities and ability to connect with the attendees set Steve far apart from other speakers I’ve heard.

IRC could not have had a more engaging and inspiring guest than Steve for our Americas C-Suite Summit. His exceptional professional path and speech delivery style (personal, with levity) allowed him to deliver practical wisdom relevant for any kind of business. I highly recommend him.

Steve Smith presented a riveting, memorable leadership speech to our summit. He was incredibly personable and transparent.  Through candid personal accounts of his career his advice had all of us considering attitude and life changes even at our senior leadership positions in life!

Steve’s excellent speaking skills and his unique background as an elite athlete, astronaut, Stanford MBA, and business thinker made him the perfect speaker. He gave participants practical ideas (and easy to remember advice) on how to run an organization effectively and how to lead. Fantastic!

His commitment to the lifelong goal...causes the audience to reflect on their own commitment to achieving personal and professional goals...and he offers practical advice we can all use to stay committed to, and to achieving personal and professional goals.

Steve is a gifted storyteller with a unique ability to connect with an audience. His anecdotes and sense of humor kept attendees engaged throughout as we felt the ups and downs of Steve’s journey. He used images very effectively to complement his narrative and help to make complex topics more accessible. Steve went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for our audience and was a pleasure to work with. We're excited to bring him back in the future! 

Steve is an inspirational speaker who really resonates with many target audiences. In fact, he was our highest rated speaker at Momentum, with almost perfect scores in both Las Vegas and London.

I've heard many speakers, and Steve is one of the best. He blends an incredibly inspirational story with valuable life lessons and a unique perspective that comes from having been in space. Our entire company was raving about his talk and we had many people say it was the best talk they had ever heard.  Perhaps most impressive, Steve remains incredibly humble and grounded, which enables him to connect with a variety of people and inspire them all.

Our folks were mesmerized by his stories. Hearing Steve's experiences and his insights from his unique vantage point was very motivational! I appreciated his energy, humility, and his deep perspective on life. Steve shares a message of hope and persistence, born of his experiences as a true explorer.

What I appreciated most about Steve was his heart of service to our team. He didn't just come to speak, he came to connect and engage on an individual basis. He generously gave of his time to meet everyone he could. He went above and beyond for the entire time.

Steve delivered a fantastic speech that was extremely entertaining, extremely educational and extremely inspirational.  His story telling and life advice were supreme. We plan to hire him again!

With the endless array of business challenges in front of our clients, we found Steve's presentation to offer a refreshing perspective about what it takes to lead in a time of unparalleled disruption: Businesses must be vigilant and responsive to be disruptive forces for good and…the leader must be prepared to disrupt themselves or risk "being a casualty of disruption."

His very impactful keynote speech for our sales conference provided memorable insights on how to improve business performance. He shared management techniques and lessons learned from his successful missions to service Hubble and build the Space Station and Steve has the rare ability to make his remarks very personal even in a very large setting.

Steve did everything he could to ensure the success of this event! Before the event, he was outside welcoming guests. The Museum audio visual tech, who has worked with many speakers (including astronauts) at the Science Center, said that Steve was far and away the best speaker he had ever heard there!

Our audience was captivated by Steve’s stories. He gave each audience member a reason to pursue their dreams with vigor! His eloquent description of Earth as an island in a vast ocean was deeply thought provoking…Steve inspired audience action that will help make our world a better place.
