Clint Pulver

In 2020, Clint Pulver won an Emmy Award for a short film called Be a Mr. Jensen. The film told the story of a teacher who, in one unscripted moment, changed the course of a teenager’s life by treating him as someone with a specific talent rather than a specific problem. That story is also Pulver’s own. Before he became a Hall of Fame speaker, he was a kid with ADHD who couldn’t stop drumming on desks until a teacher handed him real drumsticks instead of a discipline referral.

Undercover Millennial and Retention Researcher
Pulver is the founder and president of the Center for Employee Retention and author of the number-one bestseller I Love It Here: How Great Leaders Create Organizations Their People Never Want to Leave. His research method — going undercover as a new hire at client organizations — produced insights that the NBA, Microsoft, Red Bull, NASA, and hundreds of other organizations have used to build more loyal, engaged workforces. He was named one of Business Q Magazine’s Top 40 Under 40.

Professional Drummer and Platform Natural
Pulver has been a professional drummer for more than 20 years, appeared on America’s Got Talent, and performed in films alongside Jack Black and John Heder. His keynote can expand into a live drumline experience that puts sticks in the audience’s hands and brings the mentorship message to life in a way that no slide deck can match.

Clint Pulver keynotes on employee retention, mentorship versus management, organizational culture, and the leadership behaviors that make people genuinely want to stay.
