Red Leaf

Keynotes

Several members of our team are world-class adventurers and based on their extraordinary experiences, they deliver compelling keynote presentations.

Red Leaf Founder and Director, Ian Schubach, uses his experience as a professional African safari guide and adventurer to engage and inspire via stories that matter. In his presentation, The Nature of Success, Ian equips leaders and teams to use the shifting marketplace as a tool for competitive advantage. Ian explores how business teams can learn from the behaviors and characteristics of iconic African animals to create sustained success. Each of the animals has developed their own competitive advantages that allow them to thrive in this rapidly changing and intensely competitive ecosystem:

Lion = Teamwork
Leopard = Innovation and Resilience
Giraffe = Leadership
Elephant = Relationship and Communication

Interactive Documentaries

Audiences always find Red Leaf’s interactive documentaries engaging and thrilling as they blend dramatic footage with gripping story-telling to create a virtual experience. Most importantly the Red Leaf facilitators use the interactive documentaries to frame business-focused conversations that rapidly align individuals and teams.

Our newest interactive documentary is about Animal Tracking and is set and filmed in the Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa. The mission is to track and find some of Africa's most iconic animals. Tracking lions, leopards and rhinos in this environment is demanding. It draws on a complementary mix of skills, such as focus, discipline, creativity, staying open to opportunity and constant learning. Fostering or mentoring a strong and confident next generation of trackers is also key.

Small tracking teams form in the room and you set off on an audiovisual expedition. You become immersed in the complex task of tracking as an active participant, you become the tracker. Your goal is to find leopard, lion, and rhino on foot, in one of Africa's great wild places. Guided by expert facilitation and the interactive documentary, you make the decisions. You weigh up the risks and you live with the consequences. Finding the animal is in your hands.

Success depends on knowing the animal and understanding your environment. Staying alert, adapting to change, managing risks and solving problems is vital. Business success depends on these things too. Use these lessons to help your business grow and deal with change and uncertainty. Allow the ancient art of wildlife tracking to develop and inspire your leaders and teams.
