“FULL-THROTTLE LEADERSHIP: ONE TRIBE, ONE RIDE – CONNECT, ENGAGE, INSPIRE”

Steven Foster is “One Man on One Motorcycle on One Mission” – to help organizations and individuals find their Tribe and fuel their Ride with “Passion, Power and Purpose.”

An award-winning speaker, writer and Harley-Davidson LIFE member, Steven is Managing Partner of Foster+Fathom, a Leadership and Goodness Development Group in Dallas, Texas. He knows first-hand, on a bike or in business; success requires creating opportunities for people to connect to an idea, engage in a shared interest and inspire others to join the “Ride.”

You start by running and riding like a motorcycle club:

• Own your piece of the Road
• Improve skills and capability
• Generate enthusiasm
• Share powerful stories

Full-Throttle Leadership is the fuel that powers lasting success and inspires breakthroughs, no matter how tough the circumstances. Those are lessons that every organization should learn.

“FULL-THROTTLE GOODNESS: FUELING EVENTS WITH PASSION, POWER & PURPOSE”

Thomas Edison said it best; “If we did ALL the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.” And not just that, we would change ourselves and change the world.

That includes the world of Meetings and Events, where the desire to support local communities and help those in need has become an integral part of the attendee experience. Some people believe finding ways to fully engage participants in making a meaningful difference can be a challenging or even hopelessly idealistic effort. Steven G. Foster, CMP is not one of those people.

An award-winning speaker and writer profiled by CNN/Fortune as a Small Business Success, Steven says “Full-Throttle Goodness” creates powerful opportunities for meeting and event professionals to activate CSR programs that don’t just “feel good,” but also makes “bottom line, good business sense.”

Giving Back can influence loyalty, increase brand awareness and create profound engagement in the communities where we live, work and meet.
