The Safari Way: Your Path to Extraordinary Fulfillment

Buckets: Motivational, personal development, engagement, burnout

Sometimes everything in our life and work seems fine on paper, but internally we feel unfulfilled; we’re longing for something more. We work hard, we do everything right, and we believe that this will lead to extraordinary happiness and success. But instead, the status quo continues. Because everything is “good”, it feels like we shouldn’t feel this way, so we continue forward doing things the way we always have, pushing down our unhappiness, and pretending everything is okay.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, longing for a breakthrough, or craving fresh inspiration, this keynote blends storytelling, humor, and practical tools from Steve’s proprietary breakthrough framework to guide you to lasting fulfillment. Learn how to break free from your comfort zone, adopt a new mindset, and pursue the vision of YOUR extraordinary: a meaningful life and fulfilling work.

Key Takeaways
  1. The “Big 5” Drivers of Breakthrough: Gain an introduction to the key drivers of personal fulfillment, helping you clarify and pursue your vision of Extraordinary.
  2. Overcoming External Pressures: Understand how defaults, expectations, and ‘shoulds’ influence your decisions—and how to reclaim authenticity to pursue what truly matters to you.
  3. Fulfillment Over Burnout: Adopt simple, actionable steps to reduce stress, improve engagement, and thrive in work and life.
  4. A Renewed Sense of Adventure: Leave with a mindset that sees life itself as an epic safari journey; embracing adventure, overcoming obstacles, and creating extraordinary outcomes.
