POP!
Intrigue Anyone in Anything . . . in 60 Seconds
People
are busy. We have about 60 seconds, at most, to get their
favorable attention. If we don’t quickly prove we’re worth
their valuable time and mind, they’ll tune out.
What do
you care about? Whether that’s an idea, business venture,
product launch, marketing campaign or getting hired . . . yours
success depends on your ability to capture and keep people’s
attention from start to finish.
Discover why Sam’s called The Intrigue
Expert and why her unique approach to winning buy-in has been
featured on MSNBC,
FastCompany.com,
BusinessWeek.com and in the Wash Post
and has received raves from groups in Geneva, Berlin, Amsterdam,
London and throughout the U.S.
You’ll
appreciate her evocative, laugh-out-loud insights and her “I can
use that today” ideas on how to engage people and motivate them
to care about what you care about.
Bring a
priority project so you can immediately apply Sam’s disruptive
70 – 10 – 10 – 10 Rule® to get decision-makers interested in
your request or recommendation . . . in the first minute.
POP! Your Business and Brand:
Create and Communicate a More Compelling
Competitive Edge
In today’s crowded marketplace, you’re either blending in or
breaking out.

their visibility and profitability by creating
first-of-their-kind ideas, products and services.
Sam’s unique approach includes her 7 P’s of Strategic
Positioning which is a step-by-step process for creating NEW,
commercially-viable offerings and branding/marketing campaigns
that help you stand out and get noticed and remembered . . . for
all the right reasons.
After hearing Sam’s intriguing, “haven’t heard that before”
recommendations, you’ll understand why her innovative POP!
Process has been endorsed by Jeffrey Gitomer, John Jantsch and
Marilyn Mobley of Edelman and featured in the NY Times.
Tongue Fu!®
Get Along Better - with Just
About Anyone,
Anytime, Anywhere
Isn’t it ironic? We’re taught
math, history and science in school; we’re not taught how to
communicate with others in ways that prevent conflicts and
promote cooperation.
Want good news? It’s never too
late to learn how to improve relationships with everyone you
encounter by treating them with the respect we all want and
deserve.
Discover how to:
-
Think on your feet and know
what to say – when you don’t know what to say
-
Motivate people to stop,
listen and hear your point of view
-
Deal with non-stop talkers,
blamers and fault-finders
-
Deliver bad news sensitively
– even when you’re in a time crunch
-
Keep your cool – even when
people are pushing your hot buttons
-
Pro-actively handle
complaints with the Three A’s
Discover why Executive Book
Summaries says Sam’s trademarked Tongue Fu!® techniques have
“added to the legacy of ideas on dealing with people left by
Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Dale Carnegie;” why her
book on this topic has been sold around the world (China,
Europe, Japan, Korea, South America) and why it’s received raves
from hundreds of organizations worldwide including HP, American
Bankers Assn, Lockheed Martin, ASAE, Amgen, NASA and Kaiser
Permanente.
GOT RESPECT?
Face it. Respect equals results.
Talent, smarts and hard work are not enough. People make up
their minds in the first few minutes whether they respect your
leadership, knowledge, skills and ability to get things done.
If you pass THE RESPECT TEST, they listen to you, act on your
advice, give you promotions, fund your projects, say yes to your
requests and follow your lead.
If you don’t pass THE RESPECT TEST, they won’t support you,
promote you, perform for you, invest in you, hire you or
recommend you…even when you deserve it.
This fascinating session provides fresh insights into how to
command the respect you deserve – so you can get the results you
need. And the good news is, these techniques work in person, on
the phone, online, in the halls and in virtual meetings.
Full Team Ahead
There is an art and a science to
leading people so they trust you, respect you and are motivated
to do their best.
In this fascinating session, Sam
shares the traits of inspiring leaders and provides surprising
insights into how anyone can be a more effective leader
if they opt to adopt these 7 time-honored principles.
You’ll enjoy her
“put-you-in-the-scene” stories of leaders in a variety of
challenging circumstances who motivated their teams to transcend
adversity and choose to work together for the common good.
You’ll have opportunities
to identify individuals who have had an enduring impact on you.
Then, using Sam’s unique approach to this topic, you’ll discover
how to extract lessons-learned for how you, in turn, can be
someone who favorably influences those around you, regardless of
your position and title.
Got Clout?
Inspiring Ways for
Women Leaders
to Command the Respect They Want Deserve

here to do? Are you doing what you love most and do best?
Loving your life is

them and take responsibility for bringing more of it into their life.
If that sounds good
to you, you’ll love Sam’s inspiring, evocative stories of people who
have found and are fulfilling their SerenDestiny®

thousands of people from around the world and asked, “What’s the single
best thing you’ve

PLEASE NOTE:
Meeting planners
often ask, “Sam, could you customize a presentation just for us so it
reflects our theme and addresses the issues our association and industry
are facing?”
Or they say, “We’d
like a little bit of this – and a little bit of that. Could you combine
best-practice tips from several of your topics?”
Or, “Our audience is
still talking about you program last year and they want you back. Can
you prepare a presentation that has new insights our group hasn’t heard
before?”
The answer to all
the above is “Yes.”
My goal is to exceed
the needs of you and your group. So, feel free to let us know what
would help make that happen – and we’ll make it happen.
For example, one
client combined a POP! and Win Buy-In to produce a program
called Can You Communicate Your Competitive Edge? which was
delivered at their Global Customer Summit .
So, let us know what
would thrill your participants – and we’ll gladly design something
specifically for you that helps make your convention or annual meeting a
