Alex Sheen is the founder of because I said I would, a social movement and nonprofit dedicated to bettering humanity through promises made and kept. Sparked by the loss of his father, Alex and his organization send “promise cards” to anyone anywhere in the world at no cost. Alex is someone who truly honors commitment. He once walked over 240 miles across the entire state of Ohio in 10 days to fulfill a promise. In just two years, because I said I would has sent over 12.3 million promise cards to over 153 different countries. The promises written on these cards have made headlines around the world. Alex is a five time Tedx Talk speaker and his charitable work has been featured on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, CNN, The Today Show, NPR, The Los Angeles Times and many other programs.
Alex uses this professional experience to craft speeches that are meaningful to a diverse corporate audience. Whether it is a management training session or an annual meeting, Alex will work with you to ensure that the importance of a commitment resonates with your team.
Outcomes:
Alex will deliver a keynote presentation about the importance of honoring the commitments and goals we set as individuals and professionals. He will include moving and emotional stories that have been shared with him through because I said I would. Alex will also speak to his personal experiences in leading the social movement. The keynote will end with a strong call-to-action activity that incorporates promise cards and the goals of the audience as individuals and teams.
It’s not about making a better employee. It’s not about making a better manager. It’s about making a better human.
As one of the foremost expert on promises, Alex has combined research and philosophy with tactical and actionable steps to help people become more committed. This leadership workshop is interactive and thought provoking that will give individuals the necessary tools needed to be a person of their word, by learning how promises are made, kept or broken, and most importantly why.
We have created a program that builds individuals who lead by example. Our work isn’t about profit margins, products and quotas. This is a different type of experience. In this program, your team will be exposed to the ideas, concepts and actionable advice that leads to positive change through the importance of a promise. Our mission is to strengthen humanity’s will.

“Very energizing session! I cannot commend the performance he has just given and the work he is doing on the philanthropic agenda enough. Absolutely fantastic. Really great response from the participants . . .”
“Alex did a fantastic job at our conference…did not disappoint!”
“Alex has everything you could ask for. His message is meaningful and inspirational, and your attendees will rave. If you have the opportunity to book Alex, do it and do it now. With everything going on in the world, it’s easy to feel helpless. Alex’s message is empowering…we CAN change the world one promise at a time.”
“Alex was humble, engaging and the team connected amazingly with what he had to say and the incredible story he has. I really enjoyed the flow of the
presentation/workshop which entailed a background story on how “Because I said, I would” came about, and where that led him and what is being accomplished through this nonprofit camp grounds in Ohio. Alex broke down
the cycle of a promise and tied it to resiliency skills beautifully. The delivery and content was well rounded, engaging and fun!”
