My life-long pattern of chasing the shiny new toy has frustrated me… and my family. I have a long track record of seemingly unpredictable decisions, starting the next project before the last is anywhere near completion. And these transitions have…
It’s hard to break through to the extraordinary. After years of working incredibly hard to do everything “right” most of us give up the fight. If we couldn’t get there with all the time and effort we poured in, it must not be achievable. Although we still long for something more, we dampen our expectations and instead focus on trying to improve our good and expected experience.
But what if the extraordinary was not the result of working hard to do everything “right”? What if the extraordinary is reserved for those who have the courage to do the “unright” thing?
In this talk, Steve shows the framework to reaching the extraordinary, whether that is on African safari, in our personal lives, or within our organizations. While there are five elements necessary to achieve breakthrough, there is only one that is the true catalyst for the extraordinary: doing The Unright Thing.
It is so frustrating to have high potential team members who aren’t as productive as they could be. They have the skills, knowledge and abilities to make a huge impact but are disengaged and don’t stick around. The problem is not their potential, it is converting that potential to actual contribution. How can we add team members who will have the impact they are capable of?
As an award winning actuary, Steve Fredlund analyzed data on more than 150,000 global employees, uncovering the core drivers of productivity, engagement and retention. In this session, he will teach you how to enhance hiring to build a more productive team. Known as “The Safari Dude”, Steve calls this “getting the right peeps in our jeep” and it is one of the “Big 5” in his breakthrough approach to live, work and lead The Safari Way.
Life can feel like an African safari, an ongoing experience of ups & downs, high & lows, knowns & unknowns; where excitement and tension run side by side. As we learn to apply the same principles that make safaris epic, we become more engaged, less burnt out, and happier in life, work and leadership.
Steve “Safari Dude” Fredlund uses compelling stories from the savannah to invite us into The Safari Way by choosing our experience, getting the right peeps in our Jeeps, doing the unright thing, taking in the view and embracing the adventure.
