Speakers
Steve LeFever, part comedian, part financial manager, former commercial banker, current entrepreneur - and 100% world-class presenter. He has been a top-rated instructor at GSB Madison for over 20 years. Steve drives home his message with a no-nonsense, laugh-out-loud approach that makes him the top-rated presenter at virtually every conference he attends.

The thousands who hear him speak every year applaud his distinct “tell it like it is” perspective on independent business, financial management, and commercial banking. But it’s his interaction and connection with his audiences that bring his message home.
