Award winning author of the book, Making Your Mind Magnificent, Steven Campbell teaches audiences how to flip negative thinking, embrace change, and realize their dreams simply by understanding how our brains function.

Ideal for keynote presentations, interactive workshops, and full day seminars, Steven delivers high content, customized speeches to hospitals, corporations and non-profit organizations on how to make your mind the greatest mentor for thriving in challenging work environments.

In his popular seminar series Making Your Mind Your Mentor Steven addresses the premise that everything we tell ourselves (our ‘self-talk’) is recorded by our brain…and it is this self-talk that determines how we see ourselves. These self-images then determine how much we can still learn and grow, and change. Or not! When we ruminate on the negative things we have done, the brain records those thoughts too…as if they are brand new!

After spending twenty years as a hospital materials manager, Steven then went on to become a college professor and educational dean at USF. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from San Diego State University and a Masters of Science in Information Systems.

In this time honored tradition, GGBC gets to learn more about it's members through a very mysterious and secret ritual called "public speaking" Oops! I let the cat out of the bag! Don't tell anybody...This is no mere "Hello and how do you do," experience as many of you are aware that more than 50% of the public are more afraid of public speaking than death! Therefore, these death defying new prospects will brave a potentially hostile environment where wild creatures like the ever-present Hecklerus-Lazerus will lurk in the corners to pounce upon unprepared or worse, boring pledges. Successful candidates will offer insight into their life so far, while beguiling and entertaining the membership. Candidate acceptance will require approval by U.S. Marine, Ed Flowers. Don't let his name fool you, he's less of a daisy and more of a thicket, so tread boldly into that good morning. Only the brave and creative are awarded entry into this august society. Be prepared!
