Mr. Williams uses personal challenges to help the audience learn:  

• How different leadership styles are applied to achieve results
• The importance of situational leadership
• That getting through seemingly insurmountable situations requires creating a plan, building a team, and maintaining a can-do attitude
• How difficult situations shape and strengthen us as leaders

Many people leave their professional skills behind when they leave the office. However, in this keynote, the combination of high emotions, deeply personal situations, and rapid adjustment of leadership style take your audience down the path to a new appreciation of the importance of their vocation in their lives.

Objectives:

• We can be leaders in situations where we have no authority
• We do not get through seemingly insurmountable situations without creating a plan, building a team, and a can-do attitude
• Our leadership style needs to change based on the situation
• Difficult situations shape and strengthen us as leaders

Customize to Your Theme

Extreme Leadership is a multifaceted motivational keynote fully customizable to your event. It highlights the following aspects of leadership:

• It is a journey
• It is dynamic. Every situation needs a different approach
• It does not need authority. It is not a title. It is something you earn
• Leaders have positive attitudes regardless of the situation
• It has core technical traits that, as individuals, we develop. While traits based on our personalities and are much harder to change
• There are leadership passages that we go through that define who we are as leaders. These may be work-based—a new job, stretch goal assignments, being fried, etc.—or personal—severe illness, death of a loved one, etc.. These passages are learning events. How we handle them determines what type of leader we become
