About Dr. Randall Sampson

Dr Randall Sampson is an author, consultant, and educator with experience across many levels. 

Why I chose Dr. Randall Sampson for this series

When I first connected with Dr. Randall Sampson in the Fall of 2018 it was like I catching lightening in a bottle--I experienced the energy he brings to his presentations and relationships--I internalized it and shared it with others. His book, Welcome to the Grind, really pinpointed what I see in great leaders. I studied his pillars of leadership and worked to align myself with leaders that fit that model. Randall is a great guy and whenever I connect with him it's like talking to one of my brothers. He is genuinely positive and uplifting. He has been there for some of my great times! His generosity is to not be out done either as I found out at ISTE 2019! I cannot wait to reconnect with Randall in person, check out the amazing work he does with His State Report Card Alternative! He is a well known speaker and he'll help you find your Grind.
