Steve Lundin FISH!:  Co-creating a workplace in which people want to live.

In 1997 Steve Lundin, writer, and John Christensen, filmmaker, visited Seattle to film the poet David Whyte. An unbelievable series of coincidences led to a series of best selling books and films, all with the word FISH! prominently displayed in the title.  The book FISH! alone has been published in 38 languages and has sold more than five million copies. In this opening keynote, the author of the book FISH! will engage you in a story of workplace possibilities based on the lessons learned, from what is arguably the world’s largest business experiment.  You will certainly laugh and you may cry but by the end of the session, you will see clearly the amazing world of work that is only a ten-degree turn of the head and a few choices away.

Closing Keynote Speaker

Carr Hagerman Top Performer

Top Performer, co-authored by Stephen Lundin, Ph.D., and Carr Hagerman, PSP, (professional street performer), moves you from “who you are being at work” into positive action.  Top Performer is about engagement, connection, and using the Natural Energy™ of authentic human interactions to build business, build relationships, and build people.  It’s a fresh, provocative, and insightful approach that uses top street performers as a metaphor to teach any organization or individual how to generate instant collaborative relationships with audiences/clients/co-workers that leave everyone involved with more energy, enhances loyalty, and creates more personal satisfaction at work and in life.

In this keynote, Carr Hagerman, co-author of Top Performer, leadership consultant and a professional street performer, will give a smart, fast moving, and often provocative presentation that may challenge many popular assumptions about doing business in today’s tough and unpredictable world.
