ABOUT STEVEN GAFFNEY

Thousands credit Gaffney’s speeches, seminars, TV and radio appearances, as well as his books and products, with making immediate and lasting change in both their organizations and personal lives.
He is one of the recognized authorities on the subject of honesty. He is also the author of three ground-breaking books, Just Be Honest: Authentic Communication Strategies that Get Results and Last a Lifetime; Honesty Works! Real-World Solutions to Common Problems at Work and Home; and Honesty Sells: How to Make More Money and Increase Business Profits.

Of Note: At age three, Steven barely spoke. Advised to put him in special classes for slow children, his mother refused and worked with doctors to discover Steven’s delay was caused by multiple ear infections. After several operations, and with speech therapy, Steven began speaking. No one has been able to silence him since.
"Learn the Honest Truth: The Most Important Strategy to Improve Team Performance, Growth and Profits" is part of a series of ongoing Business Education Forums presented by the Alumni Office of Lake Forest Graduate School of Management. More than just a lecture, each event provides an opportunity for alumni, students, faculty, corporate clients and all friends of the School to network, learn cutting-edge skills, and hear from internationally known experts in business and management.
