LOVE IS JUST DAMN GOOD BUSINESS: A New Strategic Advantage for Today's Hyper-Competitive World.

From the bestselling author of The Radical Leap, The Radical Edge, and Greater Than Yourself comes the first keynote to directly address love as a hard-core business principle that generates measurable results. Over the last 10 years alone, the business world has spent close to a trillion dollars on leadership development; yet, 73% of people are still disengaged in their work. 10 years ago, that number was 70%. Something is dreadfully wrong. Steve Farber has learned that the solution is to do
something more radical, something extreme: Operationalize love as a core business practice.
To be clear, this isn’t about group hugs in the elevator. This isn’t about love as a sentiment; it’s
about love as a discipline, as a practice. When love is part of an organization’s framework and operationalized in its culture, employees and customers feel genuinely valued. Employees who
are passionate about the work that they do are more loyal, innovative, creative, and inspired, and
that translates to great customer experience. They don’t serve others out of obligation, but because of a genuine desire to improve people’s lives. And when customers reciprocate by loving your products, your services, and your people, that’s when something great happens. That’s when you get loyalty. That’s when you get raving fans, and that’s where the money comes from. It’s a refreshingly human way of doing business. Drawing on his work with a wide variety of companies from the Fortune 100 to smaller, entrepreneurial ventures, renown leadership expert Steve Farber

GREATER THAN YOURSELF THE NEW GOLD STANDARD FOR MENTORING AND TALENT DEVELOPMENT
The greatest leaders become so by causing others to be greater than themselves. In this program—
based on his Wall Street Journal bestseller, Greater Than Yourself—Farber 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 – Deepen and expand your personal capabilities
Give Yourself – Share your knowledge, network, and experience to help others grow
Replicate Yourself – Create a culture of coaching and mentorship

“They don’t teach this stuff in business school, but they should. Every leader at every level of every organization needs to take Farber’s message to heart and put it into action. It’s what I strive to do every day in my business. Steve spoke at our international convention of 2000 people from 150 countries, and he rocked the house. He was fantastic!” Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder of BNI

“As I expected Steve was phenomenal...Feedback from the students included remarks such as: 'He gets it' 'He is in touch with us and how we need to operate and lead in the future'...'Steve was right on, the best leadership speaker I have ever heard'. I know that the students will put LEAP into action.” Department of Defense

“Your message to our Leadership Team was so eloquently delivered I was left speechless. It wasn't just a speech -- one way and directional -- but rather a mantra to live and work by. Your message about love, energy, audacity and proof hit home with every one of the folks in that room. It was tangible and practical and could be put to application immediately. In fact, we did so throughout the next day by creating action plans to implement that energy to create change in our culture. It was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever heard. I was thoroughly impressed in how you made the whole session so personal to the Bayer team. Your preparation is impeccable. I was personally moved and wanted to thank you for the opportunity to have that experience, to watch our Leadership Team get ignited with passion, and to propel us to GREATNESS.” Bayer
