Story-Power

Sam Thiara is a professional who has created a personal journey as a storyteller, writer, workshop facilitator, problem solver, educator and entrepreneur.  His goal is to engage individuals in their personal and professional development and was recognized by the Governor General of Canada for his work in the hundreds of individuals he has mentored and the thousands he has engaged. Added to this are the 45+ non-profits that he has worked with over the years.
Presently, Sam is the Founder and Chief Motivating Officer at Ignite the Dream Coaching and Consulting, a platform that engages his audience to define their path.  A key element is transformational practices where he is an expert in youth career coaching and supports teams and organizations in corporate alignment.  He co-founded a youth career platform that has gone nationwide.

He is a lecturer at the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University where he blends academic and professional experiences into a rich environment that captivates his audience.  Finally, he is an accomplished and sought after speaker and has two TEDx talks to his name and speaks at conferences, seminars and workshops about 30-35 times a year.  Added to his speaking is the book he recently wrote a book called, ‘Lost and Found: Seeking the Past and Finding Myself’.  It focuses on his journey to India to find his ancestral roots with little else than a faded photograph and determination.  The book is also about realizing one’s cultural identity because many struggle with understanding who they are.

Sam’s signature tagline is, “Everyone’s life is an autobiography, make yours worth reading.”

Amy is a status quo challenger who’s been intuitively reading energy since she saw a yogi floating outside her classroom window at age 7. She’s a public speaker, writer, and founder of the Wisdom Gathering, an event for the deep thinkers, the secretly sensitive, and those seeking to gain inspiration and clarity through self-discovery and intuition. 

In Amy’s Own Words

I speak frequently about Intuition, The Highly Sensitive personality-type or how the future looks. I bring all of this to a very human level and shy away from typical spiritual thinking sharing my unique way of seeing things. My ideas are conceived via watching patterns in my clients and our world. For over 20 years I’ve been tracking these patterns (complexity science) to bring a core message about the importance of following one’s own knowing. 

Lastly, I am a fun and energetic person and speaker. I was critiqued by the 2007 National Speaker Association President Mark Leblanc in 2019. His response to my speech snippet was “I want to sit in the front row. You are by nature a magnetizing speaker. You’re going to go all the way in speaking, Amy!”

Stacy Bennett is a late-blooming author, currently living in the suburban wilds of New Jersey. Mixing her love of nature, psychology and contradictions, her stories tend toward interior conflicts blended with generous world-building. A classic author trope in many ways – cat lover, coffee drinker, and tending to talk too much to people who can’t readily be seen – Stacy also prefers cozy get-togethers to parties, grilled cheese to filet mignon, B-movies to classics, pickup trucks to sporty coupes and jeans to dresses anytime.

Writer, mother, ruler of the world inside her head…mostly. A.D. Trosper lives on the plains of Kansas, out where there are more cows than people and the sunsets are amazing. She adores her flock of spoiled laying hens, her dogs, and the cat that owns her. She loves to game, mainly on her computer but sometimes console as well. She is convinced that coffee and chocolate are both food groups, that dragons should be real, and there is always space in a story for magic and love.

Dave has loved theatre since his first performance in the Opera Carmen at age 6. Since then he teaches acting and has led actors workshops and founded The Northern Colorado Actors Studio. He also acts in his spare time. He recently directed, Constellations, Orson’s Shadow, and Antony and Cleopatra, Comedy of Errors, Love’s Labour’s Lost, Chimes at Midnight, Twelfth Night, King Lear, As You Like It and the regional premiere of Gloria. In his 30 years as an actor favorite roles include: Mr.Paravicini in The Mousetrap, Alf in Peter and the Starcatcher, Edgar in King Lear, Horatio in Hamlet, Orgon in Tartuffe, Benjamin Franklin in 1776, and Theo Maske in The Underpants.

Okay, I have to explain Dave’s Cat’s Name. Dave found an abandoned kitten. He tried out several names on her, but she didn’t respond to any of them. Then one day, Dave was looking for something, and said, “Dammit” because he couldn’t find what he was looking for. The kitten meowed. “What?” Dave said to himself. So he said “dammit” again, and she meowed again. “You want that for your name?” He asked her, and he said “dammit” again and again, she meowed. Dave gave in to her wishes and that’s now her official name.
