Setting and Stewarding a Project Toward a Vision: How to Create Exponential Outcomes
“Make No Small Plans.”
Leaders and managers need a big, bold vision that inspires action and collaboration from those who are the best in their field.
In this custom presentation, designed specifically for leaders and managers, Jeff explains how to combine the infinite possibility of our imagination and vision with the practical reality of the refinement of those ideas in a manner that creates successful outcomes through the process of extensive iteration.

"Shoot for the stars, land on the moon."
We often think of relationships as quid-pro-quo. Or when we do favors for people, we often expect those favors to be reciprocated.
That's a game of trades, or a reciprocity loop, which is the wrong frame for the truly generous, and limits the ‘triangulation of goodwill’ or the returns from those investments of generosity.
In this counterintuitive presentation, Jeff argues that when we view life as a "giving competition," it not only brings the pleasure back to giving without the expectation of a direct return, but creates an ecosystem of goodwill and value to make us all winners of the game.
Radicalism is all about outcomes.
Not messaging, not appearances, and not what feels good in the moment.
A practical radical does whatever is necessary, works with whomever is required, in the language required, and with great patience to achieve the desired outcome.
In this customizable talk, Jeff shares how practicing practical radicalism can help us achieve our desired results by resonating with those in the "out-group," which leads to more impactful outcomes, finding common-ground, and civilizing interaction as a means to build and hone mutual understanding.
