What people are saying.

  • “In my 25-year career in journalism and media development, I can say with confidence that Sam is one of the best facilitators I’ve encountered. She combines grace, thoughtfulness, and decisiveness — a rare skill set.”

    — Peter Erdelyi, Center for Sustainable Media

  • “Samantha knows how to bring people together. Her approach to public speaking feels more like a one-to-one conversation with someone who is curious to hear what the other person has to say.”

    — Ides Debruyne, Journalismfund Europe

  • “Sam demonstrates all the skills that are hard to teach: empathy, active listening, strong timing, and commitment to organization that supports rather than controls collective work.”

    — Graham Griffith, Program Designer and Media Strategist

  • “Sam’s facilitation was outstanding — she created the space and the mood for everyone to contribute, share, and learn. She managed to leave the agenda open and responsive to the actual needs of participants. Everyone had a real stake and took away what they really needed.”

    — Kevin Burden, Media Leaders Ltd, Solutions Journalism Network

  • “Her authenticity shines through in every aspect of her facilitation, creating a space where participants feel safe to learn, share, and grow.”

  • It was the best professional investment of 72 hours I’ve made in the past three years and it’s a gift that will keep on giving.
