Steve Gilliland Biography

Steve Gilliland, a member of the Speaker Hall of Fame, is one of the world's most in-demand and highly regarded speakers. His contemporaries see him as a superb storyteller and brilliant comic, and he can be heard daily on SiriusXM Radio's "Laugh USA" and "Blue Collar Radio" alongside Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Cosby. Steve tells audiences how to unlock doors to success in their jobs, relationships, and lives, using an appeal that spans age, culture, and vocation, as well as a participatory and amusing manner. He talks to over 250,000 people every year and has shared the stage with a number of luminaries. Over two million individuals have seen him speak, with audiences spanning 29 industries. Steve has the distinction of having spoken in all 50 states as well as 15 countries. According to one publication, Steve is what occurs when the wit of a stand-up comedy meets the inspiration of a motivational speaker. Steve is a prolific and successful author, as proven by his book Enjoy The Ride, which was on the publisher's bestseller list for seven consecutive years and was selected Author of the Year. His thought-provoking writing style has made his pieces popular with nationally recognized periodicals. Millions of people are influenced by his keynote talks, books, CDs, and DVDs. Small enterprises, Fortune 500 corporations, US and Canadian government agencies, churches, school systems, and charitable groups have all used a wide range of these goods. His books and CDs, written in the vernacular of active business executives, highlight practical lessons that help people and enterprises flourish. Steve founded a multimillion-dollar firm on the same principles he preaches to his audiences. You will always be a leader if you continue to learn more about your organization, industry, customers, and yourself. You will be driven by purpose rather than by method, and you will make a difference. His credo is simple: "If you take care of people, the business will take care of itself." He has been honored by Who's Who in Speakers and Business Professionals, and The Pittsburgh Business Times named his firm one of the region's fastest growing privately owned businesses. Steve grew up in the Pittsburgh region, now lives in North Carolina, and travels the world. He earned his bachelor's degree at Grove City College in Pennsylvania and his MBA at Globe University (MN). He is a proud grandfather, dedicated father of four sons, and devoted husband to Diane. At the knees of his extremely committed Christian mother and stepfather, Steve developed immense compassion for others as well as a devotion to a hard work and balancing life ethic. Whether he is speaking at an event, writing about current issues affecting people, or directing his own workers, Steve is a guy who not only pushes others to change, but also inspires them to do so.
