"One of the two best speaker I've seen in 20 years." ~ Law School Dean

"Bring him back!" ~ Marketing Director, Communications Company

"I could listen to him talk about anything." ~ Executive Director at National Association

If you want to generate great feedback from your members and even greater results, Steve Hughes is the speaker for your event.

Steve is an award-wining speaker who helps people look and sound smart when every time they talk. He's the author of the book Captivate: Presentations That Engage and Inspire and he has been featured widely in national media:

  • CBS
  • NPR
  • BBC Radio
  • The Wall Street Journal
  • Businessweek

He is also the proud creator of "International Be Kind To Lawyers Day" which is celebrated annually on the 2nd Tuesday in April.

Before launching his speaking career in 2006, Steve spent 12 years in advertising--most recently he was the co-owner of an award-winning 50-person ad agency in St. Louis. 

Today, he speaks for a select list of blue-chip clients including national associations, Fortune 500 companies, AmLaw 200 law firms, and leading universities. He notes that 85% of his annual revenue comes from referrals and repeat clients. 

Steve holds a BA in French Literature and European History (his parents were really proud) from the University of Kansas and an MBA in Marketing from Washington University in St. Louis where he won the prestigious Olin Cup.
