Keynote Topics, Breakout Sessions, &
Workshops
Squish Creativity like a Bug (Humor/Inspirational)
Rick takes on the persona of
the big-boss
Steele Steadiman that will
have your group
cracking up. Basically, if
you just do the
opposite of everything that
Steele recommends,
you’ll be a great leader. The
learning is
tough love, though, as people
in the audience
realize that they relate to
Steel more than
they might like to admit.
BOSSES: Beings of Superior
Skills, Ego, Self-Esteem
(Humor)
Steel Steadiman is back to
show groups how
“real” bosses get results from
their flock.
Remember, “You’re not leaders…
You’re not
managers… You’re B.O.S.S.E.S.”

Creating a Team Culture (Motivational/Leadership)
Whether purposeful or not,
cultures are created
by the actions, habits, communication

culture. Most organizations

on it’s own.
Great organizations make a
conscious effort
to create a culture of teamwork.
