Consider this question: If you had only one day more to live, what would you do?

That's what Ben Nemtim, keynote speaker and New York Times best-selling author of What Do You Want To Do Before You Die? asked himself in 2006 and that question was the start of a new journey.

Ben recounts how a college project, The Buried Life, allowed him to answer that question by making a list of seemingly impossible goals and then going after them. In the process, he surprised himself by doing things like playing basketball with President Obama and having a beer with Prince Harry.

Ben also provides practical advice for team leaders and how supporting your team members' bucket list can increase productivity and retain top performers in any business.
