About

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.

Known for his laugh-out-loud humor, relatable storytelling, and ability to make complex ideas simple, Steve has inspired audiences across Fortune 500 companies, healthcare systems, credit unions, nonprofits, and global communities. Offstage, he enjoys disc golf, poker, and enduring the highs and heartbreaks of Minnesota sports.
