• The Radical LEAP: Extreme Leadership at Work and Beyond : In this chaotic and extreme age, business leaders must demonstrate an unprecedented level of passion, determination, foresight, dedication and fearlessness. People won't follow empty rhetoric, but they will respond to significant, meaningful and dramatic action. As an Extreme Leader, you need the ability to influence, the power to transform and the courage to change the world of your company, your customers and your industry. In The Radical Leap program, Steve shows you how to use the LEAP framework -- Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof -- to do just that and radically improve your organization and your life.
  
  
• The Radical Edge: The Extreme Leader's Guide to Uncommon Achievement : In this provocative keynote, Steve Farber re-defines the conventional meaning of the term "personal accountability" and takes the practice of Extreme Leadership to an even higher level of challenge and self-discovery. Based on Steve's inspiring, daring, and unforgettable book, The Radical Edge program is an experience that will show you how to stoke the fires of your business, amplify personal joy and meaning, and change the world for the better-all at the same time.
  
  
• Radical Accountability: Making the LEAP From Individual Contributor to Extreme Leader : 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. 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, Steve will show you personal strategies for being the architect of transformation from any position or level in the company.
  
  
• Leading Radical Service: The Extreme Leader's Guide to Blowing Your Customers' Minds : We all know that customer satisfaction is no longer enough. But creating a consistently mind-blowing WOW! Experience for your customers demands imagination, empathy and creativity from every employee in your company. What are you doing about it? Steve offers the qualities that you, as an Extreme Leader, must demonstrate to create customer-obsessed business people at every level of your organization. Drawing on provocative business cases, research and personal experience, Steve will take you beyond the conventional customer service wisdom and into the realm of customer love.
