The Fun Side

 

Steve Wilmer / Professional Speaker
Steve Speaks

 

Passionate…Motivated…Energetic…Inspiring…Practical…Talented…Humorous…Relevant…Enthusiastic…

The list would go on and on when people who know Steve, meet Steve and hear Steve Speak are asked to describe him. Steve energizes the room when he walks in and all eyes and ears are in tuned to his message. He captivates his audience and has them sitting on the edge of their seat to hear what’s next. Steve’s humor and quick wit will have you laughing out loud while delivering a message that is clear, practical and relevant to any audience.

While some speakers leave you “less than inspired”, Steve charges your battery and has you ready to tackle whatever task is at hand. Steve Wilmer is…Unforgettable!

Steve has spoken to audiences from 5 to 500. No matter the audience size, he has a positive impact and a lasting impression. From inspiring independent business owners to achieve their goals to training employees on team building and what it takes to win in business, Steve’s presentations are true investments in success. Steve currently travels the country coaching and training insurance agents in the art of the sales process and is highly sought after in this field.

Steve is a native of Pensacola, Florida. Upon his graduation he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He served his country proudly for 8 years and received an honorable discharge. Steve then returned home and spent the next 10 years serving his community as a law enforcement officer.

Steve later started his own business with Ameriplan Health and Dental. It is here where Steve discovered that his true passion was team building and motivating others to achieve their goals. He was later recruited by State Farm Kizziah Agency and quickly rose through the ranks as one of the top insurance producers in the state.

He is a member of Pensacola Life Church, Pensacola North Rotary Club and Prosperous Christians Group. On a side note, Steve is a HUGE Miami Dolphins fan and has 60 plus Miami Dolphins ball caps that hang on the wall in his Miami Dolphins Man Cave.

Steve’s wife Erin is a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer and currently a financial advisor with Edwards Jones Investments. They have 4 beautiful children: Judah, Josiah, Joi and Jayna.

Steve has many keys to his success. But for him, it all boils down to one simple thing: You either do, or do not. There is No try.

Mary Riesberg has had a life-long passion with communication and speech. When Mary was a young girl she had a speech impediment causing her to lack self-confidence and feel ashamed to speak. Mary can truly understand the anxiety and fears associated with public speaking. She can also understand the freedom and excitement that comes with communicating freely. It was her experiences as a young girl that inspired Mary to pursue her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist and obtain a master’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. Mary’s experience has taught her that speech can be difficult, but when mixed with proper instruction and passion, speech can become a beautiful masterpiece.
Mary complements her speaker and voice coaching with Team Communication and Leadership training as a founding partner of the John C. Maxwell Team of speakers, coaches and trainers.  She is also a Human Behavior Specialist certified in the DISC profile assessment and a licensed facilitator of the Path Elements Profile ™ by Laure Beth Jones.
