You Can Be A Culture Hero: Slaying Dissengament Dragons Through Effective Leadership

In this compelling talk, Sam Brinkman challenges audiences to become "Culture Heroes" and confront the disengagement dragons lurking in every workplace. Sam explains that disengagement isn’t something employees bring with them—it’s a result of toxic patterns and unproductive behaviors that quietly weaken morale and productivity.

Through real examples like the "Brown Dragon of Complacency," Sam reveals actionable strategies to combat disengagement, including fostering continuous improvement and building trust through effective one-on-ones. Attendees will leave equipped with practical tools and inspired to take ownership of their workplace culture, proving that leadership is a behavior, not a title.

Ideal for: Leaders, HR professionals, and anyone passionate about creating an engaged and positive workplace.
