LEADERSHIP & MOTIVATIONAL speaker

Steve Rizzo is the Attitude adjuster. You can’t attend one of his keynote speeches, seminars, or read his books and leave with the same attitude. 

He’s a personal development expert, comedian, top motivational speaker, and author.

His popular PBS special brought him into millions of homes. It’s no surprise that he’s been inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame, an honor bestowed upon fewer than 200 speakers worldwide since 1977.

Perhaps one of Steve’s greatest achievements was the stellar degree of success he achieved as a comedian, being chosen as a Showtime Comedy All-Star and sharing the stage with Jerry Seinfeld, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, Ellen DeGeneres and many more giants of comedy.

Of course, the surprises don’t stop there. What was next for this funny guy in the prime of his career? For Steve, it was to trade the standing ovations as a stand-up comedian for maximum fulfillment and, well, more standing ovations as a hall of fame speaker.

Don’t let the laughter fool you!

What Steve brings to the table is his captivating ability to engage the attendees with laughter as he challenges them to shift their focus and way of thinking to discover greater enthusiasm, increased productivity and new levels of success. As one of his clients once said, “Never has my group learned so much and laughed so hard in one sitting! Thanks for the ride!”

Don’t settle for anything less than Steve Rizzo’s approach. Because anything less…is just that.
