because I said I would

because I said I would
We live in a society that often does not respect the importance of a promise. It's too easy to say "I'll get to it" or "tomorrow." In many ways, we have become numb to the disappointment from broken commitments, and this numbness can enter our homes, our workplaces, our schools, our communities…

But Alex Sheen believes that every individual has the strength to become a person of their word.

Alex will deliver a keynote speech up to 60 minutes long about the importance of honoring your promises. He mixes emotion, humor, and inspiration as he tells deeply moving stories from the because I said I would movement. Alex also shares moments from his personal journey launching and building this viral social movement.

Alex expertly employs video media and visually striking imagery to keep audiences engaged throughout his keynote.

His keynote concludes with a strong call to action that connects the Promise Card to the personal lives of each audience member. Every person attending the keynote then receives 10 Promise Cards at no cost.

Life of a Promise (workshop)

Life of a Promise (workshop)
Alex can also lead leadership workshops at your event. In his "Life of a Promise" workshop, Alex dives deeper into themes explored during his keynote.

It's not about making a better employee. It's not about making a better manager. It's about making a better human.

As one of the foremost expert on promises, Alex combines evidence-based and peer-reviewed research with riveting stories and collaborative activities. This leadership workshop is an interactive and thought-provoking experience designed to give individuals the tools to be accountable in their personal lives, by learning how promises are made, kept or broken, and, most importantly, why.

Alex has created a program that builds individuals who lead by example. Our work isn't about profit margins, products and quotas. This is a different type of experience. This leadership workshop is an interactive and thought-provoking exercise designed to give individuals the tools to be accountable in their personal lives.
