Steve Fredlund
Author, Keynote Speaker
Steve Fredlund is an award-winning keynote speaker, two-time TEDx presenter, and bestselling author of Do the Unright Thing: Memoir of a People Pleaser. With a background spanning three decades as an actuary, executive, entrepreneur, and nonprofit founder, Steve brings a rare blend of analytical insight and heartfelt storytelling to every stage.
His journey took an unexpected turn after leading humanitarian efforts in East Africa, where he gained profound insights into life and leadership—and realized that doing everything “right” isn’t what leads to fulfillment or impact. That revelation sparked his mission to help others discover what he calls the Courage Advantage™—the everyday courage to move beyond expectation, lead with authenticity, and live in alignment with what truly matters.
Through his proprietary frameworks and powerful keynotes, Steve equips leaders and teams to navigate change, strengthen connection, and perform with greater purpose and impact.
