Steve was fantastic, from start to finish. Entertaining and informative, even funny. He personalized the presentation with our company, and list of "Characters". Everyone was involved, hands on, in the workshop process and everyone left wanting to use AI and had the confidence to start.

What a speaker, highly recommend! Steve truly commanded the room at our event. He found a way to entertain, get our attendees thinking outside the box, and leave everyone energized about what is possible. This was the first time in a long time that I've been to a live event and found no one checking their phones. We heard from many that his talk was the highlight of a week-long conference.

We will have Steve back again! Very engaging and captivating.

Steve Lerch was one of the most pleasant key note speakers that I have worked with. He was accommodating with our pre event zoom calls, punctual on site. His presentation was easy to understand, full of appropriate content for our business owners.

Steve Rocks! He took a technology that scared the majority of our members and taught them how valuable a tool AI can be to improving their business and being more productive. By taking a foreign concept and breaking it into language we could all understand he showed that not only is it nothing to be afraid of, it should be embraced.

Steve is a dynamic speaker. Well spoken, engaging. Story he provides and how he can relate it to what the audience knows/understands was perfect!

Steve did a great job connected with the audience and catered his presentation to what my workgroup wanted.
