In this chaotic and extreme age, business leaders must demonstrate an unprecedented level of passion, determination, foresight, dedication, and fearlessness. In this wildly popular speech, Steve Farber shows you how to use the LEAP framework –Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof to radically improve your organization and your life. In this energetic and insightful program, you will discover how to
Audience takeaways:
C-Suite executives have a unique leadership challenge: they live under a microscope; people watch everything they do. So much so that their decisions, actions, behaviors, and communications have a direct effect on the entire culture of the organization. That’s the good news. And, of course, it can also be bad news. There are two sure-fire ways to change an organization’s culture. One, do nothing. And, two, do anything. That’s the very nature of a culture – it’s always evolving. For that reason, developing a good culture is like developing a good relationship–it requires constant attention and never-ending awareness from the C-Suite on down.
Audience takeaways:
The greatest leaders become so by causing others to be greater than themselves. In this program—based on his Wall Street Journal bestseller, Greater Than Yourself—Farber shows that dedicating yourself to bringing others along so that they can achieve more than you is the ultimate way to boost talent, ramp productivity, and create truly significant current and future leaders.
Audience takeaways:
Every business book will tell you that it’s important to deal with and lead through change. But an intellectual understanding of that truth usually isn’t enough to compel people to act, to try, to make the leap necessary for being proactive in a time of crisis. In this interactive keynote session, Farber teaches a new perspective on what it means to try, fail, learn from challenges, and then succeed in the end.
Audience takeaways:
“Thank you for sharing your expertise with our audience and contributing to the huge success of our conference. Your presentation on Extreme Leadership Principles to Change the World inspired our audience. Without a doubt driving the end-to-end process improvement or any major business activity requires energizing leadership regardless of a job level. We are grateful for your participation at the Microsoft QBE Forum.”
"Your message of Extreme Leadership was directly on-target and inspired the entire group. Your mix of humor and emotion, together with the relevance of the topic to our situation at General Mills, kept the audience captivated. Thanks again for a great day and a compelling message. We will all remember the key message that you delivered and its importance to our everyday life both at work and home: 'Do what you love in the service of people who love what you do."
As I expected Steve was phenomenal...Feedback from the students included remarks such as: 'He gets it' 'He is in touch with us and how we need to operate and lead in the future'...'Steve was right on, the best leadership speaker I have ever heard'. I know that the students will put LEAP into action
It was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever heard. I was thoroughly impressed in how you made the whole session so personal to the Bayer team. Your preparation is impeccable. I was personally moved and wanted to thank you for the opportunity to have that experience, to watch our Leadership Team get ignited with passion, and to propel us to GREATNESS.
