“We recently had the privilege of having Sam Bloom as a guest speaker at a number of Business Chicks events. Sam impacted our audiences with such humour and realness that we were all moved to tears throughout her presentation, and reminded of the fragility of life and how important it is to be grateful for all we have. Sam brought us back into the moment, encouraging us to keep reaching for our goals no matter the circumstances we’re dealt. Her storytelling and genuineness brought us to our feet for a standing ovation, and I'll forever carry her message with me, as I’m sure all our guests will.”

Emma IsaacsFounder & Global CEO, Business Chicks

“Thankyou for the most inspirational speaker we've had to date. EVERYONE was still talking about it at the conclusion of the day. It's been an absolute pleasure to meet you both. So much to reflect on. The auditorium hasn't been that full in a very long time!!

“Your experiences of resilience, determination, and triumph over adversity resonated deeply with our leaders. Many attendees have expressed how moved they were by your words and how they have been motivated to face their own challenges with renewed strength and optimism. Your segment was one of the top-voted favourites of the event.

“We are so grateful for Sam Bloom’s presentation, our lives were touched, our emotions were stirred. Sam gives us a reason to get out of bed every day, to remember to be appreciative for what life provides us, and to live for today and not tomorrow. It was such a pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet and listen to Sam. Life changing and something we will never forget.”

“We would like to warmly thank and congratulate you and Cameron for what was an absolutely inspirational and heart-warming presentation and a perfect introduction to our Symposium. Everyone we have spoken to were incredibly moved by your story and Cameron’s beautiful pictures. It was truly an honour to be able to hear, in such a real and honest way, this part of your life’s journey and to be reminded that, in the face of adversity, a major key to recovery is family (winged or otherwise).”
