ABOUT
Educational Service Unit 8, in collaboration with Norfolk Public Schools, is proud to present our 10th annual Winter Workshop!
Check out the video below for a quick
look back at our fantastic keynote speakers.
Keynote
For nearly three decades , Sam Glenn’s inspirational and artistic speeches have impacted audiences of all sizes - some audiences as large as 75,000 people at stadium events. Sam has spoken for just about every industry you can imagine. When it comes to attitude - nobody is excluded. Organizations get better when their people get better and it all starts with attitude. Attitude is the driver of everything and Sam knows exactly how to recharge and rekindle that positive spark that empowers leaders to give, do and be their best. Things weren’t always so picture perfect for Sam. At one time he was homeless, depressed, defeated and negative. It was a chance encounter at a buffet, where Sam accidentally knocked over the legendary Zig Ziglar. This led to a positive friendship between the two and with Zig’s encouragement, Sam got his life pointed in a better direction. Today Sam Glenn is one of the most recognized and trusted keynote motivational speakers in the speaking industry.
Sam Glenn
“Sam Glenn is a best selling author of more than 30 books, and an award winning motivational performance artist, who speaks and paints at over 100 conferences and meetings annually.”

For ESU 8 teachers/staff members who are also attending the keynote, I will be there early if you would like to set up ahead of time. If you are not part of a district attending the keynote, please know you are welcome to join us for the Keynote at 9:00 in the Johnny Carson Theater (attached to the high school).
Technology - Each room will have a projection system (unless I've specifically talked to you about not needing one) but you will need your own computer, the ability to connect via HDMI or VGA, and speakers (if needed).
