How do you best describe Steve McDermott? We’d say he is highly motivational, memorable, energetic, charismatic and side splittingly funny. Oh, and he is from Yorkshire, England. Steve’s presentations not only make people laugh but think. His unique style, half business guru-half stand up comedian, has made him one of our most sought after speakers. And after an engagement, he consistently scores 10 out of 10 on client evaluation questionnaires (Talking of clients, you can see what they say about the benefits of booking someone as experienced as Steve from their comments below).

It’s hardly surprising that Steve is acknowledged as one of the top ten professional speakers in Europe. He has talked to thousands of people, from Burley to Berlin, about how they can be more successful in life and business.

Steve is an author, broadcaster and businessman. He is also a consultant, coach and trainer for a host of blue chip organisations including Nestle, British Nuclear Fuels and Asda. He is a certified practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP and a qualified hypnotist. NLP is an exciting tool that is already helping many people achieve rapid success — Steve can show you why.

From his own personal experience, and the research he has conducted over the past ten past years, he has come up with the very best methods for improving the way you think. He has honed his skills by working with, and speaking to, some of the world’s top organisations, entrepreneurs and peak performers.

As well as being an expert on strategies for success, Steve also specialises in helping individuals and organisations become more creative and innovative. And he should know, because before starting his own company, for 15 years, he was a Copy Writer and Creative Director of a highly successful advertising agency. He has won over twenty international and national advertising awards for creativity and was particularly fond of writing radio commercials.

His most infamous, and visually striking technique is to show complete novices how to break a solid piece of wood, with one punch, after just a few minutes’ instruction.

Steve is a highly-acclaimed motivator and an excellent choice as keynote speaker at conferences or seminars. He guarantees your event will go with a bang.
