(The following are examples of how various groups have used Sam to make their event a greater success.)

1. Kickoffs to meetings and conferences

Texas Society of Association of Executives asked Sam to kick off their annual meeting.  They wanted something different and something that would get the group fired up for a great event.  With humor, Sam got the audience rolling in the aisles discussing real life situations and the value of attitude. Sam then gave them something they would never forget-- the chalk art impact!   Sam received a standing ovation!   It served their needs and got them fired up for a great conference

Fisher-Bio Sciences asked Sam to close their week-long conference.  He was told ahead of time that their company had just gone through a merger, everyone had been in long meetings all week, they were very tired and most of them would be bringing their bags to this event to leave for the airport as soon as he was done.  They wanted to close this event off letting their staff know how valuable and appreciated they were, and they wanted them to remember the value of the event’s vision.  Sam went to work, and this event ended with a roaring standing ovation, and everyone receiving a copy of Sam’s book, A Great Life Starts With A Great Attitude.

3. Keynote Presentations

The AZ Multi-Housing Association asked Sam to speak twice, 90 minutes each, on Attitude.  Nearly everyone gathered into the room thinking it would be just another speaker with another blasé message.  By the time it was over, people’s stomachs and cheeks hurt from laughing so much.  This was not without solid and informational content that could be applied their personal and professional lives.  Sam recharged this group, getting them to see a greater value in their attitude and how it affects every area of life.  The result:

“In 16 years, we have never had a speaker with such an impact!  People just could not stop talking about it.”  - AZ Multi-Housing Association

4. Entertainment with a Touch of Inspiration

The Cyborg Users Association’s conference attendees had just finished dinner and wanted something entertaining, yet uplifting.  As soon as they introduced Sam, the party got started.  Laughter filled the air, and then dust from the chalk art presentation began to fly.   The result: 

"Sam made my day! His program changed my outlook for the rest of the conference." 
- Karen Miller, Adhold USA, Cyborg Users Association Conference

5. After Dinner/ Banquet

The Houston Apartment Association wanted something to liven up their after dinner ceremonies.  As soon as dinner was over, Sam got up and captivated an entire banquet hall with his chalk art performance. The picture left everyone speechless.  The meeting planner was praised by everyone for booking such a powerful program. 

6. Breakouts/ Workshops/ Tradeshows

The Greater Ft. Lauderdale Real Estate Association popped in to see Sam speak for the Ft. Lauderdale Apartment Association and hired him on the spot for their trade show.   As 500 people filled the room for this breakout session, the attitude in the room was, “We have heard it all and seen it all. This better be good and different.”  Sam was informed just before he went on stage that this could be a very tough crowd.   In less than 30 seconds after being introduced, the audience was transformed, and went along for a ride they would never forget.  

7. Employee Recognition

Jacksonville, FL, Blue Cross Blue Shield wanted something special for 400 staff employees.   They asked Sam if he could give the audience something that would impact their attitude in a positive way, show appreciation, but elevate morale for achieving better effectiveness and productivity.  The audience didn’t know what to expect. They finished a great lunch and then heard that they had to stay and listen to a speaker.  Most expected something long, preachy and boring. They got just the opposite.  By the time it was done, that entire room was on their feet rejuvenated with enthusiasm.

8. Leadership

NxTrend Technologies asked Sam to speak to all their Sr. Level Executives.

Sam clarified that great leadership starts with a great attitude and illustrated how it creates an atmosphere and example for others to follow.  The result:

“Sam, normally Sr. Level Executives can be a tough crowd.  But you wow’ed them with your stories, humor and art.  We got the evaluations back and you scored all 5’s out of possible 5, with the exception of a few 5 +’s.”  - Nxtrend Technologies

9. Christian Events

More than nine years ago, while at an event for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Billy Graham’s grandson was in Sam’s audience and heard his powerful message.  From then on, Sam has been invited to speak at churches and Christian events sharing his powerful testimony of how we was transformed from being broke, depressed, sleeping on borrowed floor space, hopeless, and working nights as a janitor, to the position he holds now, as one of the most in-demand motivational speakers in the country.  Sam talks about his life in a seeker-friendly way that inspires people to grow deeper in their faith.
