After being told by a guidance counselor that he didn’t have the intelligence to make it through college and then being saddled with the dubious high school honor of “Least Likely to Succeed,” Steve didn’t give himself much of a chance to emerge as anything special, much less an honors college graduate, a teacher, a counselor for students with behavioral problems, a national headline comedian, an author, and a Hall of Fame Speaker.
In this keynote, Steve teaches educators how to acquire the attitude they need to achieve their goals in and out of the classroom — while actually enjoying the process!
