Meet Our Keynote Speaker: Greg Fine
What can a safari teach us about leadership, teamwork, resilience, and personal growth?

This fall at Change Makers: 2026 Annual Conference, attendees will find out firsthand as LeadingAge Wisconsin welcomes leadership expert, speaker, and author Greg Fine as our keynote presenter and breakout session facilitator.

Known for his engaging storytelling, powerful visual presentations, and thought-provoking leadership insights, Greg challenges audiences to see leadership through a different lens. His presentations blend practical strategies with personal reflection, helping participants better understand themselves, their teams, and the impact they have on those around them.

A Keynote Unlike Any Other
In his keynote session, Greg will take attendees on an interactive virtual photo safari, drawing leadership lessons from the natural world. While there are no job titles, performance reviews, or strategic plans on the African savanna, examples of effective leadership and high-performing teams are everywhere.

Through stunning photography, personal stories, and audience interaction, Greg will explore how leaders can:

• Lead beyond their job description
• Strengthen team dynamics and collaboration
• Leverage professional networks for greater success
• Thrive through disruption and change

This immersive experience is designed to inspire reflection, challenge assumptions, and help participants discover new approaches to leadership in an increasingly complex world.

Go Deeper with Two Additional Breakout Sessions
Greg's impact won't stop with the keynote. Throughout the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to dive deeper into two additional sessions that explore some of the most important—and often overlooked—aspects of leadership and personal effectiveness.

The What Matters Matrix: Creating a Purposeful Life offers a powerful framework for examining what we value, what we want, and what we need to create a purposeful and rewarding life. Rather than prescribing answers, Greg guides participants through a deliberate process of understanding tradeoffs and making intentional decisions that align with their goals and values.

In Unlocking the Power of Mood, attendees will discover how mood shapes communication, decision-making, relationships, and team performance. Participants will learn how to identify personal triggers, understand the impact of mood on behavior, and develop strategies to increase influence, strengthen teams, and lead more effectively—especially during stressful situations.

Why You Won't Want to Miss Greg Fine
The best conference experiences don't just provide information—they change how we think. Greg Fine's sessions are designed to do exactly that.

Whether you're looking to become a more effective leader, strengthen your team, navigate change with confidence, or gain a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you, Greg's sessions will provide practical insights that you can immediately apply in your work and life.
