The evaluations that are produced as a result of his presentations have been above and beyond any other presenter that we’ve had in this topic. Participants walk away excited to go back to work so that they can implement all that he has taught them. The fact that he can interest CPAs in a non accounting or tax topic speaks volumes – they look for Steve every year.”

Francesca Zampaglione | VP of Learning, Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs

“Steve was the keynote speaker at our Partner Summit. After a late night in New Orleans for many of our attendees, we needed someone with a ton of energy delivering an engaging presentation and that is exactly what we got. Steve’s keynote really stole the show with the highest attendee scores of all our presentations. Thanks to Steve and his team for making the process easy and delivering a presentation that wowed our audience.”

“I have attended several of Steve’s workshops over the years and they are the BEST!  He is an extremely motivating presenter and if you ever have the chance to attend one of his workshops – definitely attend. It is well worth it and you will leave there feeling great and learning things you can put in place immediately.”

“If you do one thing for your staff this year, please bring Steve in for a presentation on how to help them become more productive, increase engagement, and prevent burnout. The investment we made by bringing him in to teach our people will be regained in a month, and will pay dividends for years to come.”

Douglas Fink | CEO, Pennsylvania Paper and Sovereign Commercial Services

“Steve represents what business leaders are looking for in a motivator, a speaker and a role model. I’ve had the great privilege of seeing Steve on 3 separate occasions, with two different programs. Steve is so easy to listen to because he has sincere passion behind his words and his practices. It’s hard to imagine someone being able to present and keep the attention of a group for 8 hours, but with Steve, the time flies and you won’t believe how much you will laugh! Steve’s advice and practices are truly original and unique. I learned a great deal through my time working with Steve and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a game changing person to motivate your company. It will be the best investment you make!”

Jeremy Lampley | Business Development Manager – US Tool Group

“Steve’s presentation is full of energy and his principles are easy to implement right away. He helped our sales team become more organized and allowed them to focus on the things that will help them grow every day. Steve definitely had a positive impact on our team and working with Steve was an easy decision!”

Dan Rosenthal | Manager Premium Sales, NY Yankees

“Steve presented the Opening Keynote Session for the Florida Festivals and Events Association 20th Annual Conference in Orlando in August 2014. During all of our pre-conference planning Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with and he absolutely delivered above and beyond our expectations. Here are just a few comments from attendees in his sessions:

“Beyond Awesome. Inspiring Speaker!”
“Best I’ve ever seen.”
“He was an amazing instructor. I learned so many new things.”
“Great energy. When you can make people laugh throughout the entire session you know people are listening and when they listen, they learn.”
“Wished we had more time with him – valuable message”
“Life lessons as well as business lessons.”
“Genius”

I could probably add two more pages of similar comments. I would absolutely recommend Steve to any organization or association looking for a dynamic, engaging, entertaining and thought-provoking speaker for a retreat, conference or workshop. He is truly first-class!”

Suzanne Neve | CEO, Florida Festivals and Events Association 

“If Steve was around when I started my sales career in 1997, I more than likely could have avoided years of bad habits and “commission breath” techniques. His sales training is spot on – what’s more fun than a career where you’re making friends and helping people solve their business problems?

Engaging, funny, and reflecting good taste in music, Steve scores a touchdown in the arena of consultative sales training. It was hands down the most insightful and useful training I’ve had the opportunity to attend, and I’m sure it will drive thousands more in revenue to my company’s bottom line. I would highly recommend him to any sales organization looking to do the same.”

Joe DeGiorgio | Law Firm Consultant, Wolters Kluwer 

“It’s 2:30am and my mind is racing and it won’t stop. I just spent two days with you in your Consultative Selling training and it’s mind-blowing how much is falling into place. I’ve been doing this for thirty years. I’m a reader — I’ve read TONS of books on growing companies, developing people, leading teams and self-help. I loved most of them and learned from all of them. I’ve attended or watched or worked with dozens of trainers and motivational speakers — None of them made me write an email at 2:30am. If I had known half this stuff when I started, I’d be light-years ahead of where I am now. When we’re doing what we were born to do, everything falls into place and I can confidently say you were born to do this!”

Sonya Stone | Managing Partner, Tatum 

“As a continuing education coordinator for a “small army” of CPAs, we hit the jackpot when we found Steve McClatchy!  He kept a room full of CPAs energized, engaged and laughing.  When continuing education is a requirement of your profession you get to the point where you’ve heard it all, and then in walks Steve.  His content is original, resonates, is immediately useful and stays with you.  We have been working with Steve for over 10 years now and look forward to many more years to come!”

Jason Brocious | Global Accounting Supervisor, Penske 

“Steve takes a refreshingly different, but dead-on practical approach to teaching leadership and sales. We have been able to deliver an enhanced level of service to our customers and, at the same time, he has empowered each of us to achieve more balance in our lives. I can recommend Steve’s services without hesitation!”

Steve Smith | Vice President, Minnesota Twins 

“It is not always easy to find a presenter who can both engage an audience and provide practical guidance that can be immediately implemented. When I heard Steve present at a national conference last year, I knew that I had to bring him to speak to our local association. I just couldn’t stop talking about his presentation. As the day approached for Steve’s presentation, I found myself a little apprehensive. Were my expectations too high? Not at all. Our audience was captivated from the very beginning and came away energized and full of great ideas. For days following the presentation, I got emails, phone calls, and LinkedIn messages raving about Steve. The verdict from our audience: Steve is one of the best presenters we’ve ever had. Thanks, Steve, for a terrific presentation and fantastic evening!”

Joanmarie Dowling | Managing Partner, Clarity HR Solutions 

“Fox MBA students embark on an important journey that will change their lives forever. During his session, Steve teaches leadership skills that prepare them for success both in and out of the classroom. Students graduate from our programs prepared to become successful entrepreneurs, business owners and executives and have learned from Steve, not just how to lead their businesses but how to lead themselves. I am a true believer in the long term impact his material can have on your life and your career. A true highlight of our MBA programs for over 15 years, our students make reference to Steve’s presentations over and over again. I recommend Steve with the highest regard and know that you will too!”
