It was the perfect balance of conversational, inspirational and authentic. I loved how it seamlessly went from powerful, insightful and clear to capture moments of storytelling and emotion. That's extremely tough to do but Samantha absolutely nailed it. I absolutely loved the landing on Power With, Power To, Power Within as a new model that can change the way we can all lead and work. | James | |

I had a chance to work with Samantha while I was doing my MBA at IE Business School, she came as a speaker to talk about diversity and inclusion for an academic club I was coordinating. She showed complete control and knowledge regarding the topic, it was really insightful and enriching. She was very open to all the questions that were made by several students. I was really proud of the impact and level the talk had, since she is a really adept and very professional speaker. | Juan | IE Business School | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-2.webp
