Sandy The Speaker
Sandy Gluckman has been delivering keynotes for more than two decades, locally and internationally. Her audiences remember her talks with great clarity for years to come because Sandy’s keynotes are truly different and totally captivating. With a PhD in Whole Brain Learning and Communication she knows exactly how to take the audience on a memorable journey, moving them from logic to emotion; from intellect to imagination. The result is a keynote experience that they never forget.
Sandy addresses large and small audiences with keynotes that run from 30 – 90 minutes depending on the client’s needs. The content for each topic is available in generic form – or it can be customized to accurately reflect the real world and challenges of the client company. In order to tailor the content and the scenarios, Sandy does extensive research into the industry trends and has in-depth conversations with key executives.
Communication That Performs™ - Another Keynote Format
Each of the topics offered can be delivered in one of two formats. Sandy on her own – or Sandy with two scripted performers.
To engage the intellect and emotion, logic and imagination of the audience to an even greater degree Sandy uses African drums and also weaves dramatic and humorous enactments, delivered by scripted performers, into her talk. This is a powerful way of leading audiences beyond yesterday’s thinking to a vision of what is possible. And the dramatic scenarios provide the audience with the skills to apply what they have learnt. This is why she refers to this speaking format as Communication that Performs™.
These enactments are available in generic form or the scripts can be tailored to personalize specific messages and real world applications for clients.

Fix your Ego; Fix your Stress
It is not actual events in our lives that are stressful - it is our interpretation of the event or situation that causes us stress. Our egos interpret situations in a stressful way. Sandy offers an unusual way of understanding stress and a 4-Step process for replacing stress with joy.
