Sam has trained the world’s top entrepreneurs (e.g. EO, YPO, TLC) and executives (e.g. Intel, Cisco, Boeing) how to communicate more clearly, compellingly and convincingly.

Her pioneering POP! book, endorsed by Seth Godin, Ken Blanchard, Mark Sanborn and marketing guru Jeffrey Gitomer (who calls it “a rocket ship to your success”) introduces an innovative step-by-step system for creating first-of-their-kind titles, taglines, pitches, brand messages, positioning and marketing copy that get your products and services noticed, remembered and bought.

Sam’s expertise is frequently featured in major media outlets including the New York Times, BusinessWeek and FastCompany. 

She has presented to more than a half million people worldwide (London, Geneva, Amsterdam, Dublin, Toronto, Berlin), was twice the top-ranked speaker for the International Platform Association, and a top-ranked speaker at the 2008 INC 500/5000 convention (with Jim Collins, Tom Peters and Tim Ferriss).

She’s served as Pitch Coach for the USA Today Perfect Pitch and British Airways Face2Face competitions, and for Springboard Enterprises – which has helped entrepreneurs receive $8.8 billion in funding.

She is the former Executive Director and Emcee of the world-renowned Maui Writers Conference (1992-2009) and has helped hundreds of people (i.e., Denise Brosseau, Founder of the Thought Leadership Lab) to crystallize their message into quality books that scaled their influence, income, and impact.
