Steve Farber has shaken up and re-defined what it means
to be a leader of substance, significance and success.
A keynote presentation can make or break your corporate event. If your keynote speaker is engaging and offers meaningful insights that audience members can embrace, your organization could foster trust and loyalty among its employees for years to come. On the other hand, a stale, scripted, and seemingly endless keynote presentation will do little to help your team achieve its ultimate goals. In fact, the time spent listening to a boring keynote presenter drone on and on may be better spent focusing on actual ways that your organization can develop and deploy a culture of leadership.
“The Extreme Leadership that Steve speaks and writes about comes down to this: leadership is important not only because it impacts the lives of the teams we build, but also the lives of our customers, and ultimately, the state of the world we live in. Additionally, Extreme Leadership is not about positional authority, but about how we can create an environment where every person in the company believes he or she is a leader and rises to the challenge. I see Steve as the gold standard in leadership coaching due to his clear articulation of the challenges and opportunities that a leader faces.”
– BURTON GOLDFIELD, CEO OF TRINET
Leadership is a key consideration for every organization, regardless of size. Without it, no organization can succeed. Conversely, without leaders who understand the true meaning of the term “leadership,” an organization can only go so far.

The truly great leaders in life and work become so by causing others to be greater than themselves.

You will be challenged to aspire to the new gold standard in leadership with a powerful, three-step method:
At first this [approach] may seem counterintuitive, but I encourage you to set aside your pre-conceived notions of success and accomplishment and throw yourself whole-heartedly into the Greater Than Yourself endeavor.”
– Patrick Lencioni, bestselling author, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Whatever the challenge at your company—improving customer service, coping with change, inspiring transformation, improving corporate culture, recruiting and retaining great talent, building teamwork, fostering innovation—it all comes down to this: someone has to do something significant and enlist others to help. Someone, in other words, has to take accountability. Someone has to lead. And it doesn’t have to be the boss. Leadership, ultimately, has nothing to do with the title on your business card or your position on the organizational chart. It’s about who you are and what you do to change things for the better—regardless of your “place” in the company. In Radical Accountability, leadership speaker, Steve Farber, will show you four personal strategies for being the architect of transformation from any position or level in the company.

Here’s the idea: Steve’s been in the trenches. He has over 20 years of experience working with thousands of business leaders in all kinds of industries. And much of that experience has revolved around having open, honest and powerful conversations about the nature of leadership with his clients and then helping them to apply new ideas to their specific challenges. To put it simply: there is no script when you’re dealing with your client’s current business realities.
Now, the fact is that Steve delivers a powerful and entertaining keynote speech. And he loves to do it. But the Extreme Leadership Jam Session is a departure from the leadership speaker norm, because there is no script. With the exception of a couple of principles to set the stage, there is no specific list of points to be covered. The audience will determine the course of the program. Right on the spot. And the program will develop according to the group’s most pressing leadership needs and questions.
THIS WOULD SCARE THE PANTS OFF OF MANY “PROFESSIONAL SPEAKERS.” Take away their script, and you take away their net. And many speakers either don’t like that, or, frankly, have nothing to say beyond the scripted word. Farber loves it, and so will you…if you have the nerve to give it a try.
