Biography

Throughout his life, Steve Fredlund has made profound impact as an award-winning actuary, humanitarian, coach, consultant, author, podcaster, entrepreneur and leader of African safaris. Now focused on keynote speaking, Steve combines the richness of his eclectic success with his personal authenticity and desire to serve his audiences.

As “The Safari Dude,” Steve helps people learn to approach every area of life as if it were an African safari, leaning to realize that life, itself, is an epic adventure, not just something that happens between the adventures. Along with others who are living “The Safari Way,” Steve realized that there are five factors (the “Big Five”) that not only lead to a more epic African safari, but lead to a more epic experience in our life, work and leadership.

As a two-time TEDx speaker, Steve communicates through compelling stories and memorable phrases that keep his ideas front-of-mind years into the future. His captivating and humorous approach keeps audiences engaged and longing for more. Steve has been called “genuine”, “hilarious” and “the only actuary, in the history of actuaries, you actually WANT to sit next to during dinner.”

Steve earned fellowship in the Society of Actuaries and holds a Masters in Business Administration. When not working, he can be found on the disc golf course, playing a poker tournament or suffering through another season as a Minnesota sports fan.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION & TAKEAWAYS: Is it possible to be successful and still be happy? Or do we have to choose? Is there a way to have both? Through his career experience and research, Steve “The Safari Dude” Fredlund has uncovered the “Big 5” drivers of success and happiness – and they are the same factors that make an African safari incredible.

“The Safari Way: Roaring Success with the Right Peeps in the Jeep”
This keynote or breakout is perfect for audiences filled with leaders or others who hire and manage staff. Grounded in my discoveries as an HR actuary analyzing the data on 150,000 global employees, I provide breakthrough insights into how we can build more powerful teams to increase productivity, engagement and retention.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION & TAKEAWAYS: It is so frustrating to have high potential team members who aren’t as productive as they could be. They have the skills, knowledge and abilities to make a huge impact but are disengaged and don’t stick around. The problem is not their potential, it is converting that potential to actual contribution. How can we add team members who will have the impact they are capable of? As an award winning actuary, Steve Fredlund analyzed data on more than 150,000 global employees, uncovering the core drivers of productivity, engagement and retention. In this session, he will teach you how to enhance hiring to build a more productive team. Known as “The Safari Dude”, Steve calls this “getting the right peeps in our jeep” and it is one of the “Big 5” in his breakthrough approach to live, work and lead The Safari Way.

After this talk, the audience will:

  1. Understand the difference between hiring for potential and hiring for actual contribution
  2. Recognize alignment and connection as key drivers of productivity, engagement and retention
  3. Be equipped to take tangible next steps to build a more productive team
