TOP "10" REASONS TO HIRE STEVE AS YOUR NEXT
INSPIRATIONAL AND HUMOROUS SPEAKER:
10. Steve wears the pant size of 36/30...but only when they're a pair of J.C.Penny's "stretch waist" for men in a mid-life crisis.
9. Steve lives in Kentucky, home of 90-proof bourbon, baseball bats, fried chicken and cigarettes, which is why someone once said our state motto is, "If it kills you, it was made in Kentucky!"
8. Steve sounds like a hillbilly from Kentucky...Steve IS a hillbilly from Kentucky.
7. Students in his Communication Classes at the University of Kentucky give him marks as a professor of public speaking. But then, why wouldn't they? On professor evaluation day, he buys them all free pizza at Papa John's.
6. He's authored 3 books and writing a 4th. But, if it's like the others, it'll go nowhere, too.
5. Steve is 63. He was supposed to be 64, but his parents held him back a year.
4. He's a former Baptist minister...and, still in recovery.
3. Although he admits to loving all religions, he's managed to maintain a secret love affair with that of his own.
2. He's spoken to audiences greater than ten thousand in a single setting, but get this: he just as easily bores audiences of ten persons or less.
1. If these 9 reasons have not convinced you to hire Steve, maybe this one will: Steve has something important to say about happiness and where to find it...about life and how to live it...about how to pass through this world, leaving it a bit more conscious, compassionate, and charitable than how you found it.
What could be more important than this?
NEED A FEW MORE SERIOUS-SOUNDING
REASONS TO HIRE STEVE?
Steve is both wise and witty. One moment, his audiences are laughing; in the next, they're wiping back a tear, inspired and moved...
- By his real-life, heartwarming stories...wild and hilarious tales, too, of life as a minister's kid;
- By his stories of his extensive, and sometimes, perilous travels to nearly every continent on planet earth and all before he turned eighteen years of age;
- His encounters with nearly every major religion on planet earth and the valuable lessons he learned from his extensive exposure to and studies of the faith tradtions of the world - Jews and Muslims in the Middle East; Hindus and Buddhists in the Far East, and many more.
- His life as "a minister in recovery"...that period he describes as "post-ministry-pause," ...his theory about why he's regarded as the "Go-To" expert on changing trends in "organized religion"...why millions are leaving religion, what followers and leaders in any of them must do to reverse the trends...and, his personal take on how to nurture your soul whether inside or outside the sacred walls.
After speaking numerous times to his congregation, one of the largest in America with thousands in weekly attendance, Pastor and Priest, Fr. J. Kaywell said...
"Quite simply, Steve is miraculous on stage. Not only does he have that rare ability to inspire others to reach for the life they've only ever dreamed of living, but he gives everyone the satisfying sense they truly belong...that they are of infinite value to Life itself."
But don't mistakenly think Steve speaks only to congregations.
As a Founding Partner with the John Maxwell Team of Professional Speakers, Trainers, and Leadership coaches. Steve coaches a confidential and exclusive list of leaders and executives from a variety of fields across the country, like Delta Airlines and Humana.
Steve conducts leadership training workshops, as he did recently in London for the owners, leaders, and managers inside the financial services industry.
Steve will go almost anywhere with his talks on the science of happiness, leadership, as well as living and leaving a legacy worth remembering.
For example, he recently gave the keynote - "Happiness is an Upgrade to a First Class Seat" at the annual meeting of professional aviators at the Belterra Casino and Resort.
Steve is a professor of communication in the Department of Communication at the University of Kentucky. He teaches university students the art of persuasive speaking.
Recently, Steve gave the keynote address at the Hyatt Regency, Rupp Arena in Lexington for the meeting of Department Chairs from colleges and universities from across America. His talk on improving your listening skills was called:
"Clear the Wax from Your H--EAR:
When You Listen Better, You Lead, Love, and Live Better."

Happiness is a Seat in the First Class Cabin: Upgrade to a Happier, Healthier YOU!
This inspirational talk is full of laughter, as well as insight, as Steve explores why the paths so often followed do not take people to that one place everyone wants to go - the place of happiness, fulfillment, and joy.
In what is perhaps his second most frequently requested speech, Steve explores the latest research on "the science of happiness," as well as its limitations. Then, he takes his audience on a wild and hilarious pathway toward a life of inner peace and lifelong...
Living an Authentic Life: On the Nurture and Care of Your Soul
This is one of Steve's most requested talks. He describes himself as "a recovering Baptist minister." He shares the stories of his remarkable childhood, his travels to nearly every continent before graduation from high school, his early adult life as a professional minister, the tragedy and triumph that changed it all, and the life of wholeness and joy he's known ever since.
While still devoted to the faith of his upbringing, Steve is an advocate for interfaith unity,...
Releasing the Leader Within You
In this motivational talk, Steve probes the art of leadership from the perspective of what he calls the real "Masters of the Universe."
"Many of the greatest lessons we learn about life, living, leading, and legacy-making come from the most interesting of places," says McSwain.
This widely requested talk, surprisingly from members of the secular business world, is respectful of all religious traditions, as well as respectful of those who have no religious association. Steve...
"I Love All Religions But I'm IN LOVE with My Own: Path to Personal and Planetary Peace
Steve is a diversity expert. He helps companies, community and business leaders, as well as congregations, know how to create a more conscious, compassionate, and charitable place in which to live, work, and interact.
This is a practical talk from one of the most religiously-aware, diversity speakers in America. Steve has visited nearly every continent on planet earth. His first trip around the world occurred at the young age of fourteen. By the time he had graduated college, he'd...
Success in the 21st Century? The New Paradigm
What is success? How do you achieve it? Is there a way to make it more certain? Even to guarantee it?
"Yes!" says McSwain. "What people think about success, however, as well as what people typically do to achieve it, is almost certain to result in just the opposite...failure.
"I can show you how to avoid the pitfalls almost everyone makes in seeking a successful life," says McSwain. "There is a NEW paradigm you must follow. I'll not only show you what it is but how to...
Why People Are Leaving Church! Creating a Church the Unchurched Will Attend
"The religious landscape in America is changing," says McSwain, "and it's scaring the kazoobies out of congregational leaders. And, it should."
According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life in America, while most Americans still believe in God, on any given weekend, only slightly more than 35% of them will occupy a seat in the congregation. Furthermore, researchers say the actual percentage is probably much lower than this - since, in most polls, whenever people are asked...
Life Map: Charting a Course to the Life You've Always Wanted
"Did you know some people spend more time preparing a grocery list," asks Steve, "than they've ever spent developing a plan for life...what I call, a Life Map?"
In this talk, Steve arms the audience with the tools for creating the life they've always wanted. His presentation outline is organized around the three most important questions in developing a life map or a plan for one's life.
1. Who Am I? "The life you live today determines the legacy you leave...
