When Clint Pulver was a child, he was called the twitcher, the tapper, and he was a disturbing presence in the classroom. He simply couldn't stay still, and many teachers and even his colleagues were bothered by his behavior. It wasn't until he was 10 that a teacher paid attention to him and realized he wasn't a problem or a constant interruption that needed to be fixed; he was a drummer. That professor created a moment that changed Clint's life; he became a professional drummer, traveled the world playing the drums, and won several awards.That day, Clint understood the power of creating moments and how being a great leader requires, among many other things, the ability to design moments where their employees feel safe, heard, and valued.Clint is an Emmy Award Winner, Keynote Speaker, Best-selling Author, and Professional Drummer. He is the Founder of The Undercover Millennial Program. He has worked with corporations like AT&T, Hewlett Packard, and Keller Williams to help them create stronger organizations where people refuse to leave. He is the author of the best-selling book "I love it here," a book he wrote as an "undercover potential candidate," asking over 1000 employees from several organizations how they like it to work where they worked.We had a fantastic conversation about leadership, retention, authenticity, and employee happiness.
