Testimonials for Sam Bloom
We first booked Sam Bloom at a recognition event for 350 of our top performers in 2021. Sam’s authentic delivery and her ability to convey the impact on her and her family's life in such a touching way was so well received by our delegates, it made our decision to engage the Bloom’s for our leadership’s conference series this year a very easy one. Sam delivered 8 key notes to over 1500 delegates. Sam’s keynote rated the highest session at each conference and in fact, was the highest scoring keynote from any event I have managed. Sam’s storytelling ability is genuine and raw, and when matched with Cam’s exquisite photography and videos, it takes delegates on a journey of resilience and finding the strength and passion to reach new goals. The keynote is by far the most inspirational that I have experienced. I learned something and took new inspiration from every session. I highly recommend Sam Bloom and advocate for her across the Group. Amazing, truly amazing.

I want to say THANK YOU to both of you. Your story and they way you interacted with our community off stage was just as compelling as what was said on stage. We have never had keynotes stay after and connect and engage the way you did. It means a LOT to people. I had so many leaders coming up to show me their photos and signed books. The excitement and gratitude was high!! Thank you for being so generous with your time and easy to connect with. I really appreciate it.

I cried this morning when you signed my book. Seeing both you and Penguin overcome seemingly insurmountable odds and achieve what you both have, hit me right in the heart and made me realise that with the never ending support of my incredible family and friends, who have wrapped me up in their love, I can do anything. I haven’t cried for a long time. I thought I was strong. Everyone thinks I’m strong. But nope. So – here’s to a new dawn, a new me. Thank you to you, Cameron and your beautiful boys for your inspiration and hope. I can’t thank you enough for being in Adelaide this morning. I think quite possibly, you have changed my life.
Jacqui
Hey Sam, I am so so grateful to have met you both. Honestly you are incredible humans and it’s been an honour to work with you both. Next time Cam, you’ve got your own time slot to dazzle our crowd because honestly your energy and personality and compassion needs to be experienced by everyone too, and I could just bottle you !!!!❤️ Sam I have so many messages this morning of the impact your story had on the room and what an inspiration it was to hear you speak. You are so humble, yet so giving and you have so many lessons to offer our sometimes closed off minds.

Hello Sam, My kids (Olivia 11, Alex 9) and I were in the audience tonight and we just wanted to say thankyou so much. I think it may feel tedious at times to drive all this way, turn up, tell your story, answer questions…..but you both came across as being so warm and happy to be there. We really appreciate your time. You have all made a huge impact on my household and we will hold tonight in our hearts for ever. Thankyou

Hi Sam and Cam, Thank you to both of you. I have been getting messages all night from staff telling me how much they enjoyed your presentation. It really set the tone for a great day. I also wanted to let you know the result of the evaluation survey from yesterdays Teachers Summit Conference. Everyone was asked to show on a sliding scale how engaged they were yesterday during your presentation. From 1 to 100 the average score was 96. This was from 490 responses!

The team are still buzzing from our session last week. They are all talking about how Sam and yourself shared your story. It was so impactful. And the photography was beautiful.
Thank you so much. It was a great time of reflection for the team - Individually and collectively. I have had team members from across the team (even the shy reserved ones) open up and share with me how they felt hearing Sam’s determination and how it impacted them to think differently.

In health we are very limited with our budget, our timeframes and our workload is ever large. However, Sam and her presentation lifted the room, engaged everybody without fail and inspired some of us to change our perspective towards a tough day at work. I can honestly say I was gob smacked at the presentation, its content, its delivery and the tiny framed woman – Sam who moved our audience like no other. This was a presentation I will never forget.

Just reaching out to say thank you again for coming to Melbourne to speak in front of our marketing team. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and Sam had a huge impact on everyone present – almost every person in the team sought me out throughout the day to say so! We’re so glad you could join us and that Sam agreed to be a brand ambassador for us on the Cadbury Dairy Milk packs this year.

I have received amazing feedback from so many people. The two of you had the room absolutely captivated. As discussed last night, you both really opened so many people's eyes, including mine, on what dignified access is and how we, as an industry, can drive meaningful change. It was also really inspiring to see how positive you both are and how you embrace life. And thank you for making our event so special. Definitely keep in touch!

Sam was amazing! She presented so well and connected with the entire audience. The were tears and laughs, and overall, she set the perfect tone for the rest of our conference. They stayed and chatted with people throughout morning tea and signed books and had many photos and hugs. I had so many comments throughout our conference about how good she was and so many delegates thanked me for organising her to share her story. We couldn’t speak highly enough of her.
