    … Building a Sustainable, High-Performance, Workplace Culture

    What does it look like when EVERY member of your organization keeps their commitments? When truth and values are held in the highest esteem? It looks like next-level success. It feels like positive momentum. It lays the foundation for creativity, collaboration and high performance.

    Sam knows first-hand how to create a corporate culture that engages employees, maximizes productivity, builds brand, and inspires accountability. You’ll walk away from his program with highly effective tools to build trust, enhance engagement, cultivate more meaningful relationships, and truly come together as a cohesive team. There’s never been a more important time to create a shift in culture and commitment.

    During this program, participants will learn how to:

    • Discover the five critical steps to build a culture-by-design
    • Design a culture based on commitments and values
    • Leverage the power of cultural values – internally, externally, and communally
    • Effectively counteract “Quiet Quitting” and “The Great Resignation”
    • Remove obstacles and excuses to inspire collaboration and accountability
    • Create an organizational culture obsession that will drive your culture to stronger performance and customer experience

     

    This engaging program forces a reconsideration of how we view accountability. As Silverstein explains, “Accountability is not a way of doing. Accountability is a way of thinking about people. Particularly how we think about people.” When individuals and leaders actively create the future they want to live, frame their mindset around abundance rather than fear, and take persistent, relentless action in support of the experience they are generating, their beliefs, and their relationships, they will experience personal and organizational transformation unlike any other.

    During this program, participants will learn how to:

    • Identify the three mindsets of accountability and how to apply them personally and organizationally
    • Create a specific outcome/goal and achieve it every time
    • Empower a team to identify priorities, eliminate obstacles, and enhance communication
    • Discover and leverage the enormous power of commitments both individually and at all levels of the organization

Sam will engage your people to understand the importance of building strength from the inside out. All organizations face challenges, but it’s the most adaptable and resilient organizations who are able to effectively work through the challenges to consistently build a stronger & brighter future.

    A mindset of resilience does not just happen by itself. Resilience is built into the corporate culture. Resilience becomes the standard for which you are known when a strong set of values are created and established throughout the organization. Sam will lead the conversation on what creates resilience, how all your people will benefit both individually and collectivley by forging a culture of trust, collaboration, and resilience to operate from.

    During this program, participants will learn how to:

    • Get your people focused on what really matters (tactical vs. relational commitments)
    • Effective communication styles to enhance teams accepting and embracing change
    • Retain our power and resilience even in the most difficult situations
    • Help your people discover both how they individually build resilience and work together to create a resilient organization
    • Remove obstacles and excuses in order to inspire enhanced collaboration and accountability
    • Develop both current and future leaders throughout the organization

    Talent FAQ's

    Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

    Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

    The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

    Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

    Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

    • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
    • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
    • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
    • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
    • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
    • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
    • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
