Every evaluation remarked on the excellence of your performance. Sales consultants told me that they finally realized why last year had been so difficult, namely because they failed to find any humor in the amount of work they were asked to produce. Managers are now walking around talking about having ‘options.’ Your message of optimism was direct and yet by delivering it with the delightful stories and anecdotes, you reached out and touched our employees in a most profound way. I sincerely hope we will have other opportunities to witness the wonder of Steve Rizzo…he’s a man with a most unique humor being!

Steve Rizzo spoke for our audience of around 600 frontline travel agents. He knocked it out of the park! His combination of business strategies and humor resonated with the young, old and in-between. He talked about getting your SHIFT together and showed us how to go through the day with an unstoppable attitude to succeed. A standing ovation by all 600 attendees was truly a sight to see! In addition, it was wonderful to see countless attendees approach him to say thank you.
