When you want your team to be motivated not just for today, but every day, you want RIZZO’S SECRETS!
When you need to give your team access to the tools that bring out the best in themselves and in everyone around them, you want RIZZO’S SECRETS!
Steve will wake-up your group with his straightforward New York attitude, inspire them with his life-changing personal growth strategies and of course, regale them with laughter.
In addition to providing hands-on tools to help audiences achieve individual and group success, Steve showcases why he was so successful as a national headline comedian with opening acts such as Drew Carey, Rosie, O’Donnell, and Dennis Miller.
After being told by a guidance
counselor that he didn’t have the intelligence for college, and having
been saddled with the dubious high school honor of “Least Likely to
Succeed,” Steve Rizzo didn’t give himself much of a chance to emerge
as anything special, much less a world-class comedian or motivational speaker. Years
of negativity had led Steve to believe that dreams were the luxury of
only a fortunate few.
“Looking back,” says Steve,
“I can see how and why I sabotaged so many opportunities.
My
perceived limitations had me very confused. I had a fear of failure
and a fear of success. I knew I had talent, but I couldn’t understand
why I wasn’t being given a chance. I finally realized that opportunity
had been knocking all along…I was just afraid to open the door.”
After high school Steve would
go on to surprise everyone, including himself, by excelling with honors
at the university and post-graduate levels. Eventually Steve even
taught at his old high school, proving once and for all that guidance
counselors are not fortune-tellers.
Perhaps the most unexpected aspect
of Steve’s career was the stellar degree of success he achieved as
a performer, sharing the stage with Jerry Seinfeld, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and Ellen DeGeneres.
Of course, the surprises don’t
stop there. What is the next step for a comedian in the prime
of his career? For Steve, it was to trade the two drink minimums
and standing ovations for maximum fulfillment and well, more standing
ovations.
After walking away from a promising career as a headline
comedian to become a professional speaker, Steve offers a unique and
insightful perspective on the journey that brought him to where he stands
today.
Steve’s quest to remove the
boundaries that were keeping him from the life he truly desired has
brought his work full circle and he now understands that all of his
past experiences were necessary to prepare him for his true calling:
To help people learn to be happy and successful no matter what their
current circumstances are.
“If they laugh while they learn,”
says Steve, “then that’s just a bonus.”
Steve spent much of his own life
learning how to pursue and achieve his own definition of success. Luckily
for audiences worldwide, that definition has evolved to include showing
others his blueprint for realizing their dreams and achieving personal
excellence and professional satisfaction.
As Steve’s friend and fellow
comic Drew Carey says, “He used to be a stand-up comic, but
now he is a speaker who is inspiring people all over the world.”
As a professional keynote speaker and motivational speaker, Steve Rizzo has made appearances across the United States and Canada. You may have seen Steve in venues such as:
New York, Austin, Dallas, Texas, Las Vegas, Nevada, San Diego, California, Phoenix, Tucson, Arizona, Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois, Nashville, San Antonio, Denver, Colorado, Canada, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.
