Leadership in the Age of Personalization® came out of two decades inside that gap, and now runs through GLLG and the Conviction Institute, which Glenn founded to put the research behind the work in public.
Seeing Opportunity When Everyone Else Sees a Transformation
Transformation is another word for opportunity management, which is why so many organizations are unclear about what they are transforming toward and end up solving for the wrong opportunity. Four skills carry it: see, sow, grow, share. Six strategies of the Innovation Mentality are the mindset that makes the skills real.
Unleashing Individuality When Four Generations Define Success Differently
The five shifts find the right balance between what the individual needs and what the organization requires. A shift stays an aspiration until something makes it observable, and that is what the five indicators do. Answer them honestly and the barriers that suppress people become visible, which is the point at which they can be removed.
Earning Conviction When the Change Never Stops
Without strategy, change is substitution rather than evolution. Six skills of reinvention readiness: the first three expand you, the last three multiply you through other people. And underneath it, the question most programs never ask: why do talented people who understand all of this still return to who they were.
A keynote provokes the right conversation. It does not change behavior on its own, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling the room rather than the result.
To provoke the right conversation, in front of the whole room.
“He doesn’t just share thoughts, he creates an experience. Things are not the same after listening to Glenn. There’s definitely a SHIFT in the room.”
To build the capability and measure whether it held.
“In just 72 hours, it created an environment of trust, connection and growth that allowed us to discover the true impact of our leadership and how to lead with influence.”
One leader, in depth, usually at the point where the title stopped being the problem.
“Glenn helped me rediscover possibilities and sharpen what I solve for as a leader and how I can measure and self-direct my own evolution.”
Fifteen years at Target. Nine at General Mills. Six at CVS Health. Nobody keeps a keynote speaker for fifteen years.
“Glenn creates a path to transformation, and effective change management. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the internal (you) and external (environment) problem to solve.”
Designing what a summit argues, and readying the people who argue it.
Nine executive summits hosted with six institutions, and more than 450 speakers prepared to deliver on those stages.
Running the conversation that gets somewhere, on camera or in the room.
More than 600 hours of recorded conversation with CEOs, physicians, deans and founders, across six seasons of the Personalization Outbreak podcast.
Eight proprietary assessments make the work observable rather than felt. Each can be taken before a program and again afterwards, which is how gains get attributed rather than assumed.
Three days with a cohort of leaders at headquarters, built around identity, self-trust and conviction, so they could lead with intention and real influence rather than positional authority.
Unlocking authenticity and lining personal purpose up with company goals so that innovation could actually happen. Leaders learned to see their teams as individuals rather than roles to manage.
Rigid structures were getting in the way of engagement and growth, so the work ran on both sides at once: the environment, and the individual.
The diagnosis was published in 2019. The research caught up years later.

His story starts where reinvention did: a family that left everything behind for a new country and refused to call it loss. Cuban Roots →
