Since most meeting planners would never book a speaker without seeing a video first, the "highlight" or "promo" video, which showcases the speaker in front of a live audience, is a staple of the industry.

This is the first highlight video I’ve produced in several years, and although it has updated versions of some of the old-favorite bits, the overall approach is quite different from what I’ve done before.

This time, instead of just showing clips, I’ve turned it into a primer on the The Radical Leap that uses the clips to illustrate the elements of Extreme Leadership.

Since I’m still a guitar player at heart, I had some fun with the music, too. The opening theme is a track by my insanely talented friend, Billy White Acre. I slapped on a lead guitar track to make it more my own. I did the same kind of thing with the stock blues track in the middle of the video, and the piece at the end is the original music I created for the CD series Extreme Leadership: In Pursuit of the OS!M.

So, here you go. I hope you enjoy it–and if you do, please pass it along: http://ovationsolutions.com/farber_2011/
