“I thoroughly enjoyed Steve’s presentation at the Association of Continuity Professionals (ACP) Conference. He is a gifted presenter as well as a passionate speaker on a very important, under-served topic.”
Scott Ream
ACP National Board Chairperson
“I highly recommend Steven Eberlein to anyone who wants to have a great presentation on earthquake resiliency in the Pacific Northwest. I worked with him for many years at the Red Cross, and his presentations were superb and engaging! They got people to rise to a level of action that got themselves ready. All of the ideas he presents are superb! He is a talented speaker!”
Professor of Geology, Portland State University
ACP National Board Chairperson
“Our employees left the event extremely impressed by the quality of Steve’s presentation, and how he shared his own personal experience with natural disasters. They also expressed how they already had action items to work on to get prepared.”
Annette Navarro

“Since experiencing Steven’s presentation, people at every level of my company have taken solid steps towards personal preparation and business continuity. Even with my best efforts, I don’t think the preparedness conversation would be as widespread or as informed had it not been for seeing Steven’s presentation themselves.”
Mack Stanley
Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager
“All I have to say is…wow!!! Although I had seen his TEDx Talk and knew what a great speaker he was, Steve’s simply tremendous live and in person. And more importantly, I think he had a serious influence on the attendees of our disaster symposium. His presentation was informative, incredibly engaging and action-oriented — exactly what our audience needs and loves.”
