Attitude Changes Everything 2.0

(Virtual or In-Person)

For nearly three decades, Sam has become known worldwide as one of the leading experts on the topic of ATTITUDE. He has written over 30 books on the topic of attitude and there is one foundational conclusion in all his research, ATTITUDE CHANGES EVERYTHING. Whatever attitude we cultivate both personally and professionally ---our actions, efforts, responses, choices and experiences will follow. Isn’t that amazing? Our attitude is so powerful and his goal is to empower others to use their attitude in a way that it becomes positively powerful.
In this session, Sam will customize the key points so they are relevant to your industry and what is happening in your industry or in your department.

* Sam would consider this a mentally recharging session that is similar to an oil change for your car. Call it attitude maintenance. Because our attitude is literally our greatest asset or our biggest liability. It becomes how we treat it. Attitude is hands down the most visible “tell” of a workplace or team culture based on productivity, communication, results, service and engagement. You can tell when a group believes in the power of the right attitude verse those who don’t. Right?

NOTE: A speech on attitude is a GIFT. Any other interpretation is a misunderstanding of attitude. Sometimes, we need to recharge, refocus and get reengaged. Right? When you care about others, you want their attitudes working for them – not against them. When you understand the value of attitude, you value the maintenance process – because it’s a time to grow, elevate and become stronger. It truly is a gift.

Even though Sam does customize this talk, here are some key points he likes to highlight.
1. How to reframe adversity into a plus or positive. Sometimes a mess can really be a meaningful masterpiece in disguise.
2. How to reduce stress, sleep better, have more energy and feel better.
3. The absolute number one, fastest way, to change your mood from negative, blah, overwhelmed to positive, productive and purposeful.
4. How to use your attitude to author positive experiences – both personally and professionally. In leadership, this is such a great tool.
5. How just 30 seconds a day can fuel your attitude in the most powerful ways.

So, what do you think? Sounds like an awesome speech to me! If you would like to discuss more, contact us and let’s see how we can create an unforgettable experience for your group.

Be Your Own Real Life Superhero

(Virtual or In-Person)

“Look up in the air, it’s a bird, it’s a plane…no wait…it’s Sam Glenn…I mean Batman!”
If you could be any superhero, who would you be?
Sam picks Batman.
This is a fun, fun, fun keynote speech that recognizes our inner superhero.
Real life superheroes don’t wear capes. (However, they are optional on Friday’s or casual days.) Each of us has the ability to make a positive impact with the superpowers we have. Being a real life superhero isn’t like the movies, it’s about doing the little things with a superhero attitude.

Being a real life superhero…
• Means you may not get credit for your efforts, but you keep doing your best anyways.
• Is about looking for opportunities to contribute, take initiative and help out.
• Is about setting an example that others will want to follow and replicate.
• Is knowing that you are going to encounter adversities, villains with bad attitudes and situations that will test your superhero spirit.
• Is about being resilient, courageous and optimistic.

In this keynote, Sam likes to learn what makes your people real life superheroes. What does that look like in real life? How can Sam help recognize your superheroes? How can he encourage them to take their superhero status to the next level?

Power 30

(Virtual Only)

Is your group or team a little zoomed out??? How about incorporating something with a little inspiration and lightheartedness? Something different to mix it up a little?

“That was the first Zoom session, I have ever laughed out loud.” -Kansas Society of Association Executives Virtual Conference

How the Power30 works:
• You are already planning a team or staff meeting, so extend it an extra 30 minutes and Sam will make it worth it! Call it a gift to those you care about and want to see do well. ( So 30-35 minutes) * If you need longer, contact us to discuss.
• The foundation of the Power30 session is wellness. Would you agree that when we think better, we do better? How we think drives what we do and how well we do it. And, when we think better as a team, we grow stronger together. Our communication improves. We are more helpful and willing to support efforts and actions.
• Sam can customize and tie in anything you would like highlighted during the session, but the 3 key takeaways are what I call the The 3 Pillars of Optimism. They impact us both personally and professionally

a. Example. Remembering that our example (attitude and actions) always makes a difference.
b. Encouragement. Encouragement empowers us to keep going, be engaged, be supportive and always give our best.
c. Empathy. Empathy is what makes us stronger through compassion, kindness, patience and understanding. This is where we support each other in good and changing times.

If you have 30 minutes, let’s make it happen!

Positivity Unforgettable

(In person)

Have you ever thought about what makes you unforgettable as a person?
As a parent?
As a teacher?
As a leader?
As a son or daughter?
As a friend?
A co-worker?
As a company?
Can you think of someone that changed your life in a positively unforgettable way? What about a service experience that was so good, you keep telling everyone about it?
What makes us unforgettable as a person, a team or culture is when we choose to live and act out our “unforgettables”.
What are your unforgettables? What fills your time and space with a story that impacts others?
For example, if Sam spent just one day or even one hour in your workplace, what unforgettables would he want to share with the world? Would he tell others, “This place and these people are incredible!” Or would he say, “Thank God, I don’t work there!”
Think about it.
The “unforgettables” we implement are what create the stories that others remember. Are creating stories that matter and make a difference important to you?
The most memorable factor in business, work and life are the stories we create through the unforgettbles that guide us.
In an information overload culture, the little things often times are lost or easily forgotten and the impact of those forgotten principles can negatively impact nearly every aspect of both personal and professional lives. Forgetting one time may not create a noticeable impact but when these crucial principles are constantly over looked employee retention goes down, customer satisfaction and retention plummets, and the day to day employee culture suffers. A refresher and reminder of life's positive unforgettables keeps what is important front of mind and reinvigorates an organizations culture in the most positive way.

The Principles
Positively Unforgettable principles are the guiding values and key performance indicators that achieve the most consistent results. These "unforgettables" lead our daily choices, behaviors, and attitude in the best possible direction. They are what make us unforgettable in life, work, leadership and business.
Some unforgettable principles that contribute to making life and a workplace culture unforgettable also include:
1: Trust
2: Attitude
3: Safety
4: Drive
5: Respect
6: Purpose
7: Enthusiasm
8: Creativity
AND…even thought we are familiar with those unforgettable words, like TRUST, it’s good to refresh the importance of them and ensure they are always positioned front of mind.

To be unforgettable in life, work and business, it’s important that we clearly understand what our “unforgettables” are and practice them daily in both our personal and professional lives.
