They have that rare combination of both quick insight and broad vision. They know by both experience and instinct how to bring big ideas into reality and create sales results.

“I was the moderator for a session at Duquesne University’s Entrepreneur Conference sponsored by the Small Business Development Center. Stephen Wayhart was one of the invited speakers for the session. I have known Steve through various organizations for many years. When I heard he was one of our selected participants, I was most excited. I expected him to be a good speaker. But, I found him to be not only a great speaker – but he was an exceptional speaker. I have attended hundreds of such presentations over the years, and I must say, Steve was the best I have heard – by far. I didn’t want him to stop speaking. As the moderator, it was my responsibility to wind down the session, but I would have preferred for Steve to continue for another thirty minutes or more, and I know the audience felt the same way. I have been teaching marketing for twenty years and I found myself taking notes; he taught me many new ideas. Many people in the audience approached me after the session to thank me for bringing in such a remarkable presenter. They told me that they felt they got their money’s worth for this full day workshop at this one session by listening to Steve. I know the director of our SBCD, Mary McKinney, very well. When I saw her at the reception that afternoon, I recommended that next year we offer Steve Wayhart a full session of his own or even ask him to be our keynote speaker. Steve should have the opportunity to share his wealth of knowledge and experience to the many entrepreneurs. His experiences were incredible. He has a gift for sharing his expertise with an audience that keeps the listeners on the edge of their seat. He has a passion and an energy that gets the audience fired up. His style is as thrilling as riding a roller coaster – information packed and spiced with fabulous stories. He made me proud and excited to be a marketer!” – Dr. Audrey Guskey, Associate Professor of Marketing

I hope it was as much fun for you as it was for me.”
