And with the “right peeps in our jeeps” we experience greater success through teams with
improved productivity, engagement and retention. Known as “The Safari Dude”, Steve Fredlund uses compelling stories from the savannah to invite us on an epic adventure to reignite our passion and increase our success... The Safari Way.

• Assess their current hiring strategies, identifying if they hire potential or hire for actual contribution

Friday Keynote/Closing Session

The Unright Thing: From Expected to Extraordinary

Year after year the status quo continues; things are going as expected and results are fine. But we long for a taste of the extraordinary; to experience a breakthrough that moves us beyond our current, predictable situation. But we don't realize we are holding to the incorrect, long-held belief that the extraordinary is the result of consistently doing everything right. We have worked hard and invested heavily in building the right solutions, developing the right
strategies, implementing the right processes, and creating the right communications. The cumulative effect of all of these right decisions is not the extraordinary; it is the expected. Steve studied extraordinary people and organizations and has found that the chief catalyst for the
extraordinary is having the courage to do The Unright Thing TM . This talk unpacks the process to do The Unright Thing TM in our life, work and leadership, and how to practice the approach to create a more innovative culture in our organizations. In our rapidly changing world where new technology is replacing knowledge-based skills, the ability
to do The Unright Thing TM will not only keep us relevant but will open the doors to extraordinary opportunities.

SESSION OBJECTIVES:

The participants will be able to:

• Understand the three steps of or The Unright Thing TM process, with easy ways to start implementing.
• Have passion and hope re-ignited about achieving the extraordinary in life, work and leadership.
• Be equipped to implement changes leading to a culture featuring more innovation, greater engagement and regular breakthroughs.
