Leadership in Times of Crisis
Doing brave work requires courageous leadership. An organization’s success will be determined by its ability to adapt courageously and quickly. The good news is, courage is a trainable skill.

Building Resilience
Crisis always precedes changes. And our ability to rise strong in the midst of change and crisis has everything to do with Resilience. The Freibergs offer five strategies for building resilience to meet challenges head-on with courage, creativity and innovation. As a teaser, here is an article on resilience to share with clients.

The Right Kind of Crazy
This presentation has received accolades from business leaders in companies all over the world—primarily because Kevin demystifies innovation and shows you how innovators THINK and what they DO. Does your business have the right kind of crazy?

Keynote Takeaways:

  • Create a culture where people aren’t afraid to question the unquestionable.
  • Build unlikely partnerships that lead to ingenuity.
  • Think like an OUTSIDER to load your pipeline with great ideas.
  • Get comfortable being UN-comfortable.
  • Encourage people to think BIG and act BOLD by rewarding intelligent failure.

Be Hungry 4 Change
This presentation shows you what happens in companies that are passionate about growth. If you want to create a culture where people move with a sense of urgency and say “yes” to new ideas, new relationships, new business models, new products and new markets, this presentation is your kick-starter.

Keynote Takeaways:

  • Stand out in a sea of sameness.
  • Say NO to the “incumbent’s mentality” that leads to failure.
  • Challenge teams to use limitations as springboards to creativity.
  • Lead change efforts that are opportunity-led, not crisis-driven.
  • Leverage connectivity to get smarter, better, faster.

Gutsy Leadership
Kevin will unpack the character strengths of gutsy leaders and shows you how these strengths play out in some of the world’s most admired companies. If you didn’t have a title, would anyone follow you? Forget titles, status and power. Leadership is about recognizing the potential.

 Keynote Takeaways:

  • Move the organization in bold, new directions to be extraordinary.
  • Choose service over self-interest: If you didn’t have a title would anyone follow you?
  • Mine the story behind the story to discover what truly motivates people.
  • Compete on relationship, not product and price.
  • Create breakthroughs that challenge the status quo by giving people a voice.

Cracking the Code on Team Chemistry
Are you a Hall of Fame coach in your industry? You can’t lead an unstoppable team, celebrate big wins or build a dynasty without raw talent, a strategic mindset and the heart of a champion. This limited experience is an opportunity to tap into the insights of a champion who speaks from a long career of tough losses and big wins. You do NOT have to be a baseball fan or sports addict to learn from Bochy Ball. You do have to be a person who wants to borrow from what great leadership looks like in the best and worst of times! How does that translate to today’s business leaders?

Keynote Takeaways:

  • Why talent wins games but teamwork wins championships
  • Strategies for Building Team Chemistry
  • How Gutsy and Gifted Coaches Build Champion Mindsets
  • How Character Impacts Culture, Performance and Team Spirit
