Keynote Speaker on Leading Change
Your People Have
More Influence
Than They Think.
Through the Momentum Mindset® Algorithm, I help leaders and teams across associations, credit unions, education, and the public sector see what's holding them back, get aligned, and turn their influence into purposeful action.

Planning an Event? Here Is What You Need to Know.

Question 1 of 3
Do I understand your challenges?
The Real Challenge
The Problem Isn't Change. It's How Your People Respond to It.
When I talk with leaders like you, I hear the same things:
We know something needs to change, but we keep repeating the same patterns.
Employees and leaders underestimate their ability to influence workplace culture, decisions, and outcomes.
Our teams are working hard, but competing priorities and stagnant patterns limit meaningful progress.
Leaders are being asked to deliver more without the alignment and support required.
The excitement from our last conference or training didn't translate into sustained action.
In my experience, the challenge is rarely change itself. It's the thinking, assumptions, alignment, and behaviors shaping how your people respond to it.
The Momentum Reframe
From Helplessness
to Influence.
People discover what is actually within their control and learn to act on it.
Teams replace reflexive responses with deliberate, purposeful action.
Conference energy becomes a framework people use long after the event.

More Than a Message. An Experience That Moves People.
A keynote should do more than capture attention. It should challenge perspectives, create meaningful connections, and give your people practical ideas they can put to work. You don't have to take my word for it. Here's what keynote audiences and Workforce Development training participants report.

“I came away with actionable items on how to tackle daily struggles.”
What Leaders Say
Momentum That Outlasts the Applause.
The leaders who booked me, and the people in their rooms, in their own words.
“Worth every minute.”
I have heard Dr. Jones speak on numerous occasions and have come out of each time with a different, more vibrant mindset than I started with. Having him speak at our event offered such great value to our staff and members. It was worth every minute.
“Renewed and refreshed.”
Dr. Samuel Jones was exactly the speaker that our public health workers who are members of the MS Public Health Association needed. They came into the virtual conference being so tired from all of their work on the pandemic. His presentation lifted them up and sent them away from the conference feeling renewed and refreshed.
“Delivered with clarity and passion.”
His message was delivered with clarity and passion, keeping the audience attentive from start to finish. He shared meaningful insights that were not only thought-provoking but also actionable, leaving everyone motivated and uplifted.
“That truly makes all the difference.”
The interactive activities gave life to the room. Most importantly it was stated and understood that God is at the forefront of everything Dr. Jones does and that truly makes all the difference.
