“Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, dynamic are words to describe Steve Valdespino. To describe his lectures, the first word that comes to mind is outstanding. The residents of Lighthouse Bay enjoy all of Steve’s presentations.
No matter whether it is history, nature, art, music, etc. there is always something of interest in every lecture. Steve weaves a spell and his audience is caught up in the magic of these lectures. If there is one program you can add to enhance your upcoming schedule, any one of Steve’s presentations would be it. My people thoroughly enjoyed all three of the Stalingrad lectures, the Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, and his various eras programs: the 1920s. WWII America, 1957 & 1968 to name a few. I look forward to Steve coming back this year for his newest lecture, APOLLO 11: MAN ON MOON, as well as Orde Wingate and the Chindits and an astronomy program, Celestial Treats from Your Driveway. His Bird Safaris are incredible, another not to be missed experience.”

“My company, Fiddler’s Creek, has been working with Steve for years and our members love him so much! He has a loyal following, every one of his events sell out, we had to expand his room size to accommodate! Every lecture is intriguing and informative, he puts on a show rather than a lecture.
As a vendor he’s amazing to work with, always on time and responds quickly. We are looking forward to working with Steve for many years to come.

The residents adore his programs and many come to every presentation he does. The subjects chosen are dramatic, interesting and emotionally charged! The music and slides are gorgeous. Steve is funny, quirky and a joy to watch. I recommend him highly!”

“Have Lecture Will Travel with Steve Valdespino is an IslandWalk Favorite. Steve’s presentations are not only full of interesting historical information but they are truly entertaining. My residents are excited to see what presentation Steve will offer us next. He is an absolute “must have” for your residents. ”

“We love having Steve come to our community. He now has a cult following of residents who never want to miss his presentations. We are always impressed by the fact that Steve gets residents excited about topics they didn’t know they wanted to get excited about. You will not be disappointed with his professional, interesting and exciting lectures.”

“Steven Valdespino’s lectures are a wonderful treat to attend! Unlike a lecture at all, they keep you hanging on every word! His shows are visually stimulating and moving, as well as informative. His approach is fresh, entertaining and filled with excitement! Do yourself a favor . . .book one now!”

“ I am a librarian at a busy regional library. Steve’s programs have become an indispensable part of my programming schedule. The evaluations from my patrons are always positive. I even have patrons asking for him by name when they have left another presenter’s program saying “ So-n-so was nice but when is Steve coming back?” Steve has also proven to be very easy to work with, and always returns my calls or emails quickly. He sets up his own equipment and needs next to nothing from me. Have him come and visit you. You will not be disappointed!”

“ Finally I have the time to tell you what a fabulous job you do in educating and entertaining us in every lecture you have presented to us at Discovery Village at Naples. I have booked you till the end of the year!!!
Keep the greatness coming and you will always have an audience!! Thanks again Steve for a magnificent job :)”

“All of the lectures . . . are wonderful! The presentations themselves are bright, captivating, informative, creative and draw in audience interest. The icing on the cake, however, comes in the form of Steve Valdespino himself. Rather than simply speaking about the topic, he envelopes himself and the audience in each lecture and brings it to life. His passion and profound knowledge of every aspect of the presentations entertain and educate everyone listening. . . every presentation is exciting and has the audience on the edge of their seats for the entire show. A resident once told me that while she was no longer able to go to the beach, throughout the morning talk with Steven she felt like she was sitting in a chair with her toes in the sand experiencing the sun on her face and the salt air.”

“I have used Steve a number of times over the past 5 years and every time I use him all of my residents have nothing but good things to say about him. Bringing him to my Club makes me look good and I’m always asked to bring him back for more! He is an expert in many areas and has a charming and dynamic personality that shows through in every one of many presentations that he offers. His flexibility with scheduling & pricing is always a plus and he is very easy to work with. ”

“We had heard about Steve and wanted to give him a try, and he sure delivered! From the wide range of material to the enlightened and engaging delivery -the crowds were informed, entertained, and left hungry for more, literally asking when he’d be back again. Steve was great to work with as well - it couldn’t have been any easier! ”

“Steve’s lectures are a mix of knowledge, beautiful pictures and music along with the captivating persona Steve exudes while delivering. You can tell that this is not just a job for him but rather something that he enjoys and he spreads that enjoyment and enthusiasm as he presents. My residents absolutely rave about him and have begged for him to come back. His wide variety of topics cover all fields of interest and age groups. You really can’t go wrong with Steve. He is a must have!”

“Steve has given 5 presentations and one birding safari at Legends this past season and we have found him to be enthusiastic, engaging, entertaining and informative. He makes history fun, fact filled and meaningful! His anecdotes, details and complimentary music are highly relatable. He enjoys what he does and is professional, on time and a gem to work with!”

“Steve has been bringing his well prepared video programs to our all male group for over 2 years.
His knowledge and education have been well received, bringing back memories of years gone past and the history behind it. Pictures and music are well selected to enhance the program.”
