Just a quick note to thank you for your presentation at our annual client seminar. Your story should be one that inspires everyone and was it delivered with wonderful enthusiasm, humour and humility. Our clients appreciated having an opportunity to hear from a “non-financial” speaker who can offer a different perspective on life and what is important. CEO, Shadforths Financial Group
“Sam has a unique ability to be entertaining, professional and informative – all in the same presentation. Being part of the audience at one of his recent presentations, I observed a dynamic, motivating and effective speaker who was able to capture the audience within the first minute of his presentation. Sam connected with the audience at an emotional level and made a lasting impression!” Fairfax Media
Sam Cawthorn is an amazing communicator-he communicates powerfully both verbally and nonverbally, through his sparkling with and gems of experiential wisdom as well as by just dismantling his right arm and cracking a joke with it. Just listening to him shifts our paradigm of understanding of the limits of human hope, endurance and ability and has a transforming effect on our psyche and character beyond what words can experience. His is the power of a purpose-driven life. Inspector General of Police, India
“Sam’s honest yet entertaining approach has inspired our workforce. He has encouraged them to really think about how their reaction to a situation, not the situation itself, will truly define them and their ability to lead happy and fruitful lives. Sam has given us much to think about, reflect on, and to celebrate what matters: life” National Foods

Thanks for an emotional but uplifting presentation at our InsuranceLine Synergy conference yesterday. You obviously have many talents and are a great inspiration to very many people. I can’t help but agree that people need to bounce forwards after a crisis, not backwards. It would be great for you to come in regularly and help us look to the present and future, not over our shoulders dwelling on what caused the problem or what might have been.

Sam Cawthorn reaches folk and teaches folk through a wonderful mixture of humour, energy, compassion, passion and a wisdom borne from who he is and what he has survived. Every person can gain and be moved from Sam’s way and message. Every conference can be enriched from his presence.

Sam Cawthorn has the ability to motivate, inspire and enthuse across the generation divide. His message will reach into the hearts and minds of even the toughest, most hard bitten and cynical who believe that they have nothing to learn from Generation Y. His is a simple, powerful, message with real takeaway value!

Conference Attendee Parameswari Sirimalla
I saw you at my work conference this past weekend, and I just wanted to drop you a note to say THANK YOU. You probably get loads of such emails, but that’s because you are such a great and engaging speaker. Thanks for sharing your personal story with me (and the other few hundred people in the room). PS – go the guitar! You can always fall back on a pop career if this speaking thing gets tiresome ;-P.
Thanks again,
Angelique

You inspire me so much and your story made me cry. I think that you’re an amazing guy and you are such an inspiration to me. You help me to look at things in a different way. You’re amazing and in my view, a hero. Thank you so much for inspiring me and I hope to meet you again one day. Nikki Carruthers – Step to the future
I just wanted to say how amazing you were at step to the future. You really inspired not only me but pretty much everyone sitting in that room. You have taught us not to take life for granted and I just wanted to say a big thank you. You really found a way to get through to us. Kiersten Symes – Step to the Future
You are a profoundly loving, giving human being. I feel humbled to comment on the amazing gift that you gave us this afternoon. Your soul is beaming out of you. I have to say that you are incredibly unique in your ability to have people see you! You said SO many ‘wow’ factor stories that had so many learning’s in them. You are so fresh, your material is so unique – it’s you… I could go on and on about your technical ability, but I believe that you have an innate intuitiveness to know what the audience needs. You have a power that is rare and a gift that is even rarer. Please know that you will go on to help people to heal and deal with their pains and their denials. Your humour, your modulation, your depth, your intellect, your compassion, your courage – this all adds up to create a speaker of the best international standard. You will be one of the world’s greatest speakers and influences. I know this from the deepest part of my soul. Thank you. I feel blessed. -All my love, Terry Hawkins

His message is one that is at once simple enough to be grasped by everyone who has ever struggled with a problem in their lives, yet profound enough that they could dedicate their lives to following it.” Google
