Our 3rd Annual Literacy Summit in Midland, Texas, started with Steve Sauceda’s keynote address. He spoke about the power of adult literacy, and his words shed light on the transformative impact of adult education and gave us all a renewed sense of purpose and urgency! Literacy is a pathway to empowerment, confidence, and opportunity, and Steve delivered that message on point! Attendees at the conference felt inspired by his message that resonated deeply, reminding us that literacy is life-changing. Adelante!

Steve brought his contagious energy to our all-hands leadership team meeting. Teaching us all about “Generations in the Workplace,” he had everyone engaged, learning, and laughing! It was a memorable experience for everyone, and I highly recommended this session for organizations and leaders looking to understand and appreciate the unique challenges of our multi-generational workforce.

Highly recommend Steve Sauceda for any team-building events, including those focused on team motivation, leadership development, and enhancing collaboration. He is exceptionally skilled at helping teams gain new perspectives and effectively untangle the challenges that hold them back, ultimately fostering a stronger, more cohesive team dynamic. My team still hasn’t stopped talking about how much he has helped us build a stronger team dynamic and helped us “see the bigger picture” of where we lack as a team!

Steve presented his 'Generations in the Workplace' session to open the first ever NM Counties Finance/Purchasing Affiliate Conference which brought together local government leaders from across New Mexico. The session was exactly what was needed to energize the group and set the tone for a productive conference. Steve was engaging, entertaining, relatable, and willing to share his knowledge of concepts often overlooked but so important to the success of any relationship. Conference attendees stayed glued to their chairs -not one bathroom break or phone call was taken- and continued to talk fondly about the experience throughout the conference. He gained more than a few fans and we look forward to having him at future conferences!

Steve came in after a five-year hiatus to speak to a city staff that had been gutted by turmoil and turnover. Rather than come across as a motivational speaker, he connected with our employees using realistic examples and truisms about leadership which really resonated with us. I have never seen a speaker at one of our events keep an audience as engaged as Steve did.

The Eunice Health Clinic recently had Steve speak at our staff meeting. We are in the season of change here at the clinic and felt like we all needed some encouragement, reassurance, and challenged thinking. He delivered on all fronts. I feel like our staff left the meeting refreshed, energized and more of a team than we were prior. He was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning all the way to the end. We look forward to having him speak again in the future.
