Captivating Audiences to Create Big Change, with Jeffrey Van Dyk & Steven Goldstein

Do you want to know how to get people to listen to you, follow you, trust you and work with you? You have to be ‘likeable.’ It’s the quality that this week’s guest, Steven Goldstein, says causes people to get “Turned On” by you. He should know – he’s put people in front of the camera for Oprah and on the witness stand in front of congress.

Steven is a change-agent and civil rights leader who has worked as a television producer for Oprah, Congressional lawyer, leader of state and national civil rights organizations, and communications advisor to corporate and political leaders. As someone who has worked in politics, business and entertainment, Steven has been a mover and shaker in every sector of American power.
