Some people were born to take the stage when the stakes are the highest and when the audience expects the most. Steve Gilliland is one of those people. As a master storyteller, he uses the power of humor to help people understand and embrace serious issues, and in the brief span of a typical keynote address, he both entertains and empowers his audience. To the meeting planner or event organizer, he is a dream come true - a consummate professional who is easy to work with and who cares more about his clients and their event than anything else.
