"Wow, was Steve Harper ever a hit for the full house crowd today of over 150 top business executives in St. Louis. Let’s just say the, “Ripple Effect” has gotten a great start after an inspiring and actionable presentation. Steve did a great job relating to the audience and helping them understand how they can better maximize relationships that can sometimes be uncomfortable but always needed in life and business. In all of my years running this event, I can tell you that Steve delivered one of the best presentations we have ever had. Our attendees were overwhelmingly positive about his energy, enthusiasm and his authentic way of connecting with a room of sometimes hard to reach executives. He was worth every penny we spent to get him to St. Louis and can't wait to bring him back!"

"Steve is one of the most creative, engaging and genuine people I know.  He's an amazing business strategist, an engaging speaker (I've hired him several times to speak for my two companies) and a master connector of people.  He's been a trusted 'go to' resource for me and he's never steered me wrong. I am truly blessed to count him as a friend and mentor."

“Steve is an excellent speaker! We used his services for a local industry-wide training where we learned how to ‘Ripple’ and we had a great time getting to know one another while having fun! We would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others. If your event is looking for a fun, engaging speaker that really takes his time to understand the needs of your audience, look no further. Steve is your man. Thanks Steve for making our event one of the best ones we've ever had!”

"Steve is one of the most gracious and committed individuals I've ever met. He is always willing to put other people first and truly lives the example of creating positive Ripples out there in the world. Mr. Ripple is a gift to anyone lucky enough to work with him or play in his universe for a little while. Do yourself a favor and meet this man. Invite him to speak to your company or next conference!"

"Steve Harper is a dynamic speaker who touches upon how we as humans can make the world a better place to live and work. His message about The Ripple Effect is wisdom that we should all embrace to cultivate both honest and lasting personal and professional relationships and partnerships.  We were extremely pleased to have Mr. Harper speak as our keynote speaker for our conference this year. The audience was captivated by his presentation and more engaged than I've ever seen an audience. One of the key items from the conference feedback forms we received post-confernece was how valuable his message was and that his particular session was the highlight among all presenters for entire conference. That was powerful feedback and further proof we made the right decision hiring him!"

"I’ve had the pleasure of sitting in Steve’s audience on two different occasions. The first time I was attending a conference where Steve was the keynote. Engaging the audience and stressing the importance of real meaningful relationships, Steve’s Ripple Effect struck a chord. Offering multiple techniques to open communication with people, Steve gives you the tools to engage new customers and strengthen existing relationships. Steve and I realized we shared several unique connections, we live in the same town, our sons play soccer at competing schools, and we exercise at the same city park on the same trail. Several years later I was responsible for putting together education for a conference and Steve was my first choice. I was not disappointed; Steve put together a combination keynote/workshop that set the tone for the rest of the conference. People continue to talk about Steve’s message over a year after the conference. Steve Harper and his Ripple Effect training reinforce that strong meaningful relationships can not only take you places, it can take you everywhere. Systematically doing little things to create and strengthen personal and professional relationships can have a huge impact on your success and happiness. I would enthusiastically recommend Steve for your next conference."

"I had the pleasure of working with Steve Harper for our WCA 2019 Annual Conference in May. Steve is the most accommodating speaker I have worked with in my 5 years on the board of directors. His communication skills are one of his greatest strengths in addition to many others. I chose The Ripple Effect for the conference based on the alignment values of leadership, coaching and relationship management. Steve did a phenomenal job customizing his presentation to our attendees needs and connecting on a personal level with everyone in the room. When a speaker leaves the room and the audience expresses, “that was encouraging and a dynamic speaker”, you know you made the right choice!"
