“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

“Thank you so much for sharing your incredible story, it was truly inspirational on so many levels. I loved the passion in your partnership with Cam, it shone through the entire presentation. Amazing stuff!”

Scott ThompsonLexus CEO

“Sam captivated our audience with her incredible life story, which unfolded against a stunning backdrop of Cam's photography. Though painfully heartbreaking at first, the Bloom story is one of hope, and love and the incredible things you can conquer when you have the right support network around you. We discussed issues including mental & physical wellness, as well as family & carer support - which our audience thoroughly enjoyed and got so much out of. Thank you once again Sam & Cam. Both of you are an absolute inspiration!”

“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).”
