TRANSFORMING ADVERSITY INTO PURPOSE FOR LEADERS AND TEAMS
Leadership. Resilience. Reinvention. Purpose-driven growth.

Dr. Ken Kaufman is a leadership and resilience speaker, author, and sports medicine clinician with more than 30 years of experience helping people recover, rebuild, and perform through adversity.

As the founder of Sarasota Sports Medicine and a former spring training chiropractor for Major League Baseball organizations, Dr. Kaufman spent decades working in high-performance environments where pressure, setbacks, discipline, recovery, and perseverance were part of everyday life. His work with athletes, business professionals, active adults, and patients gave him a front-row seat to the human side of adversity — the moments when people are forced to decide whether they will quit, survive, or grow.

But Dr. Kaufman’s message is not built only on professional experience. It is also deeply personal.

After building a successful practice and identity around achievement, leadership, and performance, Dr. Kaufman walked through a significant season of personal and professional adversity. He experienced the loss of his business, financial security, and the sense of identity he had built around success. What followed was a difficult but transformational process of rebuilding — not just financially or professionally, but personally, spiritually, and emotionally.

Through that season, he discovered that adversity often reveals what success can hide. It exposes identity, tests endurance, clarifies priorities, and forces leaders to confront who they are beneath the titles, accomplishments, and external markers of success.

Today, Dr. Kaufman uses his story, clinical experience, leadership background, and faith-informed perspective to help leaders, teams, organizations, churches, colleges, and professional audiences understand adversity differently. His message is not simply about bouncing back. It is about being rebuilt with greater clarity, humility, courage, resilience, and purpose.

He is the author of Spiritual Endurance: Faith Forged in the Fire, a book that explores how hardship can become a catalyst for deeper strength, renewed identity, and lasting transformation.

Dr. Kaufman’s life and work are rooted in a simple but powerful belief: adversity does not have to be wasted. When understood and approached correctly, it can become the very place where stronger people, stronger leaders, and stronger teams are FORGED.

Hello. I'm Tim. It has been a long strange trip to my becoming a motivational-inspirational speaker. I have always loved speaking with people either one-on-one or in groups. As an IT Professional for over 36 years, I have had to interact with many different types of people in many different industries doing many different things. I have spoken in church both informally and as a Lay Minister in the Methodist and Disciples of Christ denominations. I am also an Adjunct Instructor at a local community college and a local university.

I have always thought that my life was pretty normal. After I graduated from college and entered the "real world" I came to understand that my life had some twists and turns. I came to realize that I have suffered from depression and anxiety since childhood. It really didn't effect me until I became a father. I subconsciously decided to place my wife's happiness and my son's happiness before my own. When my son was almost 7, I had a mental break that caused me to seek help. I have learned, to a certain extent, what was causing mental issues and how to deal with them. I have had to seek help when things happened in my life to help make sense and be able to handle things well.

Recently my professional career has taken a downturn. I was working for a consulting company with government contracts. When government began reforming spending my contract was effected and I lost my position along with many of my colleagues. I expected to find another position but soon discovered that the IT market had changed and employers were very particular in what they were looking for. I do not have some of the experiences they are looking for and thus was not being consider for positions.

So I decided to pivot and focus and over skills I have. Namely speaking about my experiences in life, giving inspirational messages and helping people along with life. I also speak about spiritual matters and how they relate to society today.

The attendees of your conference, retreat, annual meeting, gathering, or event will be uplifted, encouraged and have their confidence increased.

What happens when a clinically trained social worker builds a multi-seven-figure business from the ground up, and then watches her entire team walk out the door? If you're Samantha Goldberg, you don't retreat. You rebuild. And then you take everything you learned about shame, failure, and what real leadership actually requires, and you bring it to every stage you can find.

Samantha Goldberg, MSW, is a clinically trained social worker, entrepreneur, executive coach, and keynote speaker who works at the intersection of shame resilience, leadership, and self-worth. Named a Woman of Steel by PNC Bank and the Pittsburgh Steelers, she's on a mission to help people show up boldly and lead intentionally--without shame, imposter syndrome, or fear of failure calling the shots.

Samantha is the Founder & CEO of a group mental health therapy practice and multidisciplinary wellness hub in Pittsburgh established in 2018, built around a staffing model centered on business mentorship and entrepreneurial support. She built her practice into a large multimillion dollar operation, navigated a significant organizational crisis, and rebuilt it with radical transparency--an experience that grounds every framework she teaches in real operational leadership, not just research. Through her executive coaching and speaking platform, Unleashed Impact, she helps leaders and high achievers break free from shame, imposter syndrome, and the confidence barriers holding them back. She also serves as a private practice business consultant, providing business coaching to group practice owners across the country.

With 15+ years in the field, Samantha brings rare clinical depth to the leadership conversation--delivering keynotes that are equal parts research-backed and disarmingly honest, turning complex psychological frameworks into tools that actually change how people lead. Samantha is known for her sharp wit, radical honesty, and an uncanny ability to make a room full of high-achievers feel deeply seen--and ready to move.

Off stage, she lives in Pittsburgh with her first responder partner, two dogs, and a cat who has never once struggled with self-worth.
