FIVE STAR MOVING DAY!

FIVE STAR Speakers & Trainers is in the process of moving offices today!! Yay! We couldn't be MORE excited! We are relocating just a few miles south - but we are moving into Lighton Towers, which has a more corporate/bigger feel! The building we've been in for the last 15+ years was owned by the founders of FIVE STAR, Nancy & Bill Lauterbach (Nancy is still working as a sales member of FIVE STAR) and they recently sold their building. Congrats to them! The new move will be an nice, new start for FIVE STAR. Recently, Steve Gardner became the sole owner and is now the CEO (not a partner) of the company! Congrats to Steve! Steve has been in working in the professional speaking industry practically his entire life and has had YEARS of experience working with both sides - clients & speakers. (He also coaches people who would like to start a professional speaking career. If that interests you, please contact him for more details.)We've also added a few new team members this year: Carol Crites, Layla Foxx-Zagorsky, Brion Connolly & Walker Moskop.

With this move, we have transitioned into a more remote-environment where the majority of the team works remote from their home-offices (part-time or full-time) which allows us to be a lot more green (saving on gas, actual office space, and moving our ENTIRE business completely digitally - saving on paper, hard-copy demo videos, and TONS of additional materials and marketing pieces... I mean, we do work with 18,000 speakers!)

We are proud to be serving our clients & speakers - and look forward to this next chapter! Come by and visit us in our new space! We'll be there starting 8am on Monday, April 5th! Our new address (off College & Metcalf in Overland Park, Kansas) is:
