Ultimately, they make excuses by focusing on what they cannot control instead of focusing on what they can control.

Verificado @lcca.comSam Silverstein's performance on the platform as a keynote speaker at the 2014 annual management meeting of Life Care Centers of America validated the value of our company culture, affirmed it's role as a compass on a sea of uncertainty in health care, and identified accountability as the characteristic that sets an organization apart in the marketplace. Mr. Silverstein mixed his presentation with humor and dramatic illustrations contrasting the practice of excuse making with the taking of personal accountability to drive success.

Verificado @wirelessworldus.comEmployee turnover in our industry is very high. Our turnover last year was 32% but two other major companies in our industry had turnover of 100% and 300% respectively. I credit our lower turnover to the quality of the organizational culture that we created by working with Sam Silverstein.

Verificado @cbgundaker.comAs the area's largest residential real estate company, we recently brought in Sam Silverstein--twice in a 12-month period---to address a large group of associates from our 19 St. Louis area offices. His first presentation, "No More Excuses" contained such a powerful message it became a mantra last year among our senior leadership team. Sam's second program, "Non-Negotiable", was equally well-received by our Associates and leadership. With both programs he effectively framed for our group of independent contractors the value of accountability in their personal and professional lives.

Verificado @moffitt.orgTo address a request by senior leaders to assist our leadership team with accountability, I invited Sam to speak with our leaders and provided each participant with a copy of his book, No More Excuses. Sam's presentation resonated with each of us and his powerful message motivated us to take steps to ensure we created a culture where accountability is inspired. As a result, we embarked on an effort to redefine our values and embed them into our organization. We learned from Sam that values form the foundation from which accountability is possible and with the changes we've implemented as a result of Sam's advice, I'm confident that our organization is positioned to experience even greater success.
