Sahara Desert adventurer, author, drummer, storyteller ... Steve Donahue is a one person 'tour de force.' His presentations combine fast paced humor with heart-stopping tales from his desert odyssey. He's an expert at making people laugh while they learn. But he can move an audience with a touching story as well. Steve is a master at customization by crafting his message to reflect each client's uniqueness. A superb storyteller, he shares wisdom as old as humanity and never more relevant than today. Steve's book, "Shifting Sands: A Guidebook for Crossing the Deserts of Change," is based on his harrowing journey across the Sahara. It outlines six "Rules of Desert Travel" to guide readers through deserts of life and change. Soulful yet practical, it presents the desert as a metaphorical place of change, often debunking the popular mountain-climbing metaphor that focuses on goal setting and achievement over the journey itself. Steve has been a professional speaker since 1988. In 1994, Sharing Ideas Magazine named him a Consummate Speaker of the Year, along with Margaret Thatcher and author Tom Wolfe. Steve has a good command of French and is comfortable in front of Francophone audiences.
