Greater Than Yourself
3 Steps to Attaining the New Gold Standard of Leadership
(Ideal audience: current, next generation, and high potential managers and leaders at all
organizational levels)
The truly great leaders in life and work become so by causing others to be greater than themselves. In this program—based on his new book, Greater Than Yourself—Steve shows that dedicating yourself to bringing others along so that they can achieve more than you is the ultimate way to boost talent, ramp productivity and create truly significant current and future leaders. You will be challenged to aspire to the new gold standard in leadership with a powerful, three-step method:
• Expand Yourself – you’ll discover tools to deepen and expand your personal capabilities—the raw material for true leadership.
• Give Yourself – you’ll learn the art of ‘philanthropizing’ your leadership approach—the raw material for developing capacity in others.
• Replicate Yourself – you’ll experience the power of expanding beyond your personal, one-to-one influence—the raw material for changing your organization for the better.
“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
The Radical Leap
Extreme Leadership at Work and Beyond
Based on the book named as one of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time

The Radical Edge
The Extreme Leaders Guide to Uncommon Achievement
Based on the book hailed by an Inc 500 CEO as “A playbook for harnessing the power of the human spirit.”
(Ideal audience: best positioned as a follow-up to The Radical Leap)
In this provocative keynote, Steve Farber redefines the conventional meaning of the word, “accountability,” and takes you to an audacious level of leadership, by showing how a successful business, a rewarding personal life, and a world-changing legacy are not mutually exclusive ambitions.
Create remarkable legacies at work and at home by learning how to...
• Find your personal focus as a leader— that zone in which you provide total value and significance to yourself and others—regardless
of what’s happening in the company, the markets, or the economy
• Use the WUP technique to observe, process and interpret the world around you in order to bring new, world-changing ideas
to your business
• Anticipate and respond to the unspoken needs of people and markets
• Hold yourself and others to an unprecedented level of personal accountability
