1. EXTREME LEADERSHIP
“If the only reason you’re not taking on a challenge is because the idea scares you, then that’s the reason to take it on.” – Steve Farber, The Radical Leap
The two most powerful forces in life are fear and love. One brings out the best in us, and the other the worst. In this presentation, Steve inspires audiences to fearlessly love others as he defines Extreme Leadership and explains how to bring it to life in your organization.
Steve unpacks his highly successful LEAP framework – Love, Energy, Audacity, and Proof – and shows how each element works together to build an Extreme Leader who:
- Embraces fear and use it in positive ways
- Uses the power of love to accomplish short- and long-term goals
- Inspires people to make the world a better place
- Generates love and loyalty from co-workers and customers
- Sustains passion in every task and every aspect of life and work
This presentation is ideal for current, next-generation, and high-potential leaders. So everyone in your organization – from the interns to the C-suite – will reap the benefits of Steve’s insights on Extreme Leadership.
2. GREATER THAN YOURSELF
“You may not have the capacity to love everyone, but you do have the capacity to act as if you do and run your business accordingly.” – Steve Farber
Great leaders want to develop greatness in others. In fact, if you are an Extreme Leader, you’ll want to develop leaders who are “Greater Than Yourself.” This presentation, based on Steve’s best-selling book, focuses on the essential steps of developing the leaders around you. This approach helps you realize your leadership potential, while bringing out the best in your colleagues, friends, teammates, and anyone else in your sphere of influence.
Steve’s inspirational presentation teaches you to identify and embrace his actionable principles and innovative ideas for leading with a Greater Than Yourself approach. This presentation dives deep into three critical steps:
- Expand Yourself – A true leader fosters leadership qualities in others by personally growing as a leader. Discover how to expand and enhance your personal abilities as a leader by developing a deep sense of who you are – so you can give it all away.
- Give Yourself – The giving of knowledge and resources is a powerful practice of leadership. Learn how to identify leaders who need what you have and how to give the best of you away to help create the best in them.
- Replicate Yourself – Your personal influence can transform an organization, so learn how to drive meaningful cultural change by passing on the best of what you have to offer in ways that reach far beyond your own relationships.
Greater Than Yourself is more than a cool idea around mentoring. Steve presents it in a way that not only inspires, but provides the actionable tools you’ll need to bring out the best of everyone in your organization.
3. Radical Accountability
“Speak with a contractual attitude, and you’ll earn a competitive advantage over 99 percent of the population.” – Steve Farber
Every organization thrives when its members hold themselves accountable. When we’re accountable to ourselves, we’re more naturally accountable to those around us. Extreme Leaders realize this and lead accordingly. They don’t care about their titles; they do whatever it takes to get the most out of themselves and their team. They practice Radical Accountability.
Steve's presentation on Radical Accountability teaches you to become an architect of transformation regardless of your position or the type of organization you work within by learning to develop these four personal strategies:
- Cultivating love throughout your organization
- Generating energy among the people you influence
- Inspiring audacity by inspiring and freeing others to speak up
- Providing proof through your actions and equipping others to do the same
This type of Radical Accountability is a foreign concept in many organizations, but not those that are committed to the highest levels of excellence. Allow Steve to inspire and equip your team to move one step closer to creating a culture of Extreme Leadership and Radical Accountability that delivers long-term results for everyone involved.
4. Working without a net
“Stoke your business, amp your life, change your world.” – Steve Farber, Radical Leap
Do you have a Plan B? Many people never start a project without one. Some give it more focus than Plan A! Well, sometimes you need to burn the boats and go into an adventure as if there’s no turning back – no Plan B. You need to take the risks, believe in what you’re doing, and work without a net.
In this inspirational keynote, Steve not only preaches this concept but practices it. In fact, he gives the audience complete control. That's right, complete control! The discussion topics and themes are all in the hands of the audience members.
Many professional speakers never stray from their script, and heaven help them if a cellphone rings in the audience and interrupts their timing! Steve embraces the uncertainty that comes with audience participation and feedback, because he knows that uncertainty is part of life in every successful organization. His responses are unscripted but based on years of research and work. In other words, he has the confidence of his preparation as he walks across this tightrope.
Here's how it works:
- Steve introduces himself, defines Extreme Leadership, and presents a few basic but challenging ideas to the audience.
- The audience works in small groups, discussing leadership based on Steve’s guidelines. Then each group comes up with its most critical question about leadership.
- Steve responds to each group's question and, when appropriate, leads a deeper discussion with the entire audience.
- Steve and the audience then discuss the principles of Extreme Leadership in an open forum.
Steve loves providing this presentation, and you will love it, too. It’s fun and unpredictable, and it always gets to the heart of what matters most to the people who attend it – because they help create it. It teaches them the key principles of Extreme Leadership while modeling what it looks like to prepare, take risks, and trust in yourself and others.
