Following are summary descriptions of Steve’s offerings and how they work.
Keynote Speaker
Keynote for your conference, convention, association or corporate meeting.
Typically 45 to 90 minutes in length.
Fun, inspiring, and memorable.
Focus on change, personal responsibility, Gumption, and/or the life lessons from the movie Forrest Gump.
Change Ambassador
Corporate communication consulting program focused on your change initiative.
Helping your organization move from A to B.
Change by Gumption focuses exclusively on communicating your change to your employees and making sure all stakeholders have a chance to be heard and provide valuable feed backwith an independent third party.
Success will be stakeholder buy-in and ownership, reduction in resistance, and a compressed timeframe for the change acceptance.
Conference or Event Host
Hosting combines a SpeakingGump Keynote with additional participation in your event for a full day or multiple days.
Hosting enhances engagement for participants, provides continuity throughout your program, and is a better overall experience for attendees.
Additional services Steve can provide as Host during your multi-day Conference include:
- Greeter
- Emcee
- 2nd Keynote
- Breakout session
- Skit (optional)
- Man-on-the-street interviews (optional)
- and more ?
Hosting could be as simple as a meet-n-greet during the opening night mixer and then the opening session Keynote the following morning … or as complex as an all-of-the-above for multiple days.
Brand Ambassador
Brand Ambassador is long-term, exclusive representation with a company or brand
Brand Ambassador combines long-term, promotional campaigns to grow your brand and bottom line with SpeakingGump?s message of Gumption and The Conference Host?s ability to create live, in-person experiences.
The result is greater brand awareness/perception, loyalty from new and exiting customers, and an increase in overall sales/profits.

What types of projects could video host be the answer you’re looking for?
- Safety programs
- How to’s

- And more …
Any type of video series or ongoing, regular program that needs a Host that will generate interest, add humor, and get people to watch your videos.

Trade Shows
The quality of interaction at your trade show booth directly affects your ROI

Working the floor at a trade show is fun … if you’re dressed as Forrest Gump!
