More Than Motivation
Not only is Sam’s keynote experience helpful when people are tired, stretched thin, on the verge of burnout, or disconnected, but it also focuses on recognition. Sam aligns with leaders to create a special moment for organizations that want to recognize, reward, and reinforce the attitudes and efforts of outstanding achievement. Celebrating small-to-big wins reinforces the greatness of effort, teamwork, and attitude.
The Problem Most Leaders Are Facing
Burnout is real. Pressure is high. Expectations keep rising. Engagement slips when people are running on empty. This is why it’s important to get in front of it before it becomes a major problem. When change is constant and ongoing, Sam reminds audiences that change can also be highly beneficial. Sam focuses on turning burnout into breakthroughs and opportunities to build on.
Reset the Room. Renew the Energy.
Most meetings add more information. This experience is designed as a reset. It helps people reengage, refocus, and reconnect with what is meaningful. It’s a moment to get grounded and FOCUS on exactly what makes a difference. Sam’s presentation fills the gap and brings the head and heart together so people leave with clarity, energy, and a message they can carry back into their work and life.

What Audiences Can Expect
Audiences leave feeling uplifted, motivated, refreshed, educated, and ready to move forward with purpose, energy, and excitement. While audiences do experience a feel-good moment, Sam delivers measurable takeaways that can be implemented as soon as the meeting wraps.
Sam’s Message is Rooted in “ATTITUDE CHANGES EVERYTHING”
For nearly three decades, Sam Glenn’s keynote “Attitude Changes Everything” has captivated audiences across “every” industry. Attitude is the most relevant force working for—or against—us. Regarded as a leading authority and keynote speaker on the topic of attitude, and the author of 30 best-selling books, Sam works with you to make your meeting an unforgettable experience that people will talk about and carry with them for years.
The ART Reinforces the Message
Sam is not a speed painter and doesn’t throw paint all over. His approach is from concept to completion throughout his speech. Sam’s LIVE motivational painting reinforces his customized message for your group. The artwork’s message is the process of painting a better perspective and platform for positive action and attitudes. The completed painting belongs to you, and every audience member receives a miniature print of Sam’s artwork to reinforce the message and create lasting retention.
