‘Failing my way to success’ Lessons from a lifetime of mistakes
🏆 Greg Savage has had considerable success over a 5-decade career in recruitment, owning and building three separate companies to over $100 million in revenue — including taking his first business from a five-person start-up to a listing on the Australian Stock Exchange, with 150 staff across eight offices.
🎤 This session promises to be fascinating as Greg reveals all the mistakes he has made and how learning and adapting led to future success.
⚡ Making errors in your job, career, and life is inevitable, but Greg says your failures do not define you. How you respond does.
📖 The narrative draws on a lifetime of personal errors, misjudgements, and misaligned attitudes:
👉 Some born of naivety and inexperience
👉 Others from complacency or hubris
👉 The hardest to correct rooted in deeply embedded traits
💡 Diving deep into his career as recruiter, manager, leader, business owner, and advisor, Greg shows us the secret sauce: developing self-awareness and refusing to blame luck, “the market,” or other people.
🌍 In work, business, and life, Greg illustrates through his blunders that it’s what you do (or don’t do) that dictates the outcome.
✅ Attendees will gain tremendous value from his insights on recruitment, leadership, management, career, and life — all delivered in Greg’s unique, authentic, and blunt style, through the prism of what he got wrong but improved over time.
