Seminars by Sam Deep


Client and Professional Testimonials


"I am so impressed by the Sam Deep-Lyle Sussman [Sam's co-author and colleague] approach. Their goal is to make you and your teams come away not simply with a theory or just with inspiration—but also with practical ways to implement positive change in the gut level, day-to-day experience. People walk out of their programs with things to do."

Tom Peters, Author of In Search of Excellence and The Pursuit of Wow!


"As Tom Peters might say, 'WOW!' I really enjoyed your presentation. My only wish was for it to have been longer. I feel certain that each participant left the workshop with many good ideas they can apply in developing their supervisory skills. On behalf of SMC and myself, thank you for sharing your expertise."

Karen Campbell, Director of Human Resources, SMC Business Councils


"Few people come close to your style of excellence. Your professional expertise allowed you to become a master at capturing our audiences across the country."

Marquetta Glass, Manager of National Retail Training, Hallmark Cards

David L. Maloney, Vice President for Development, Carnegie Mellon University

Christina J. O'Donnell, Public Information Officer, West Penn Power Company


"Your seminar was an overwhelming success! Only excellent speakers can keep an audience captive after several hours in a room. And you did it! Your presentation was the most exciting of the Convention. I'm glad we asked you back this year, and hope to have you again in the near future."

Deborah Morales, Executive Vice President, Puerto Rico Hotel & Tourism Association


"Every once in a while an organization is privileged to hear a speaker who is clearly a notch above the rest. MACS was thus fortunate. Your message was informative, timely, and relevant."

Gerald E. Colver, President, Middle Atlantic College Stores, Inc.


"Thank you for speaking at the AIB National Conference in Atlanta. You wowed the 500 people who attended your general session as evidenced by rave reviews. One banker said, 'Absolutely one of the best prepared, informed, and professional speakers I have had the pleasure to hear!'"

Diane Powers, AIB Conference Coordinator, American Bankers Association


"Sam Deep has been involved with the Pittsburgh Symphony for quite a number of years. His influence on our thinking, productivity, human relations, and understanding of each other is remarkable. I have met very few people in my life who have as disarming an effect on others as does Sam. I have recommended him to many, and will continue to do so into the future."

Gideon Toeplitz, Managing Director, The Pittsburgh Symphony


"Once again, you've delivered a presentation that leaves me saying, 'wow!' And it's not only me...every attender rated your program as 'excellent.' They raved about you in the comments, which are summed up by this one, scrawled across the bottom of an evaluation form: 'Please (underlined four times) bring Sam back for more talks—he is fabulous!'"

Jeaneen A. Zappa, Vice President, Pittsburgh Chapter, Women in Communications, Inc.


"Sam Deep is truly a remarkable speaker and motivator. His is a unique style of blending high- impact technical material with a warm personal touch. The Ministry of Tourism and the hotel industry in the Bahamas have found his work very satisfying."

Craig A. Woods, Senior Director of Sales, Bahamas Ministry of Tourism


"Sam Deep is the only consultant who ever became embedded into the fabric of our firm. Several of his management ideas have become permanent fixtures in the Deloitte & Touche culture."

Anthony J. Buzzelli, Managing Partner, Central Atlantic Region, Deloitte & Touche


"Sam has been with us on twelve occasions—five times as we passed through some of the most difficult management challenges when he was instrumental in helping us attain our goals. One might say his name stands for Successful Analysis of Management, Developed by an Entrepreneur in Excellent Presentations."

Raul Bustamante, General Manager, Caribe Hilton Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico


"Sam serves our seminar participants in a unique way. He takes the time up front to listen to their leadership needs and then delivers on those needs. That's flexibility and true customer service."

Jay M. Duffy, Manager of Corporate Management Development, Bayer Corporation


"Sam excels in delivering an appropriate message with lasting impact. This happens because of his dynamic presentation style and his skilled use of reinforcement techniques. Executives who attended our Carolina Cattlemen's Leadership Institute are still raving about the value of his program."

Steve Parker, District Manager, MSD AGVET, Division of Merck & Co., Inc.


"Your skill as a facilitator and your guidance in helping us gain a greater understanding of ourselves and our markets have provided us with a solid foundation for planning. Your counsel has made a vital contribution to our strategic direction."

Lawrence R. Werner, Executive Vice President, Ketchum Public Relations

John A. Downing, Supervisor of Elementary Education, Oil City Area School District


"Wow! After eight years, we keep waiting for people to say, 'Enough of Sam Deep already!' but it just never happens. Here are just a few of the comments we heard from participants this year: 'You gotta have him back.' 'Practical, polished, and useful.' 'An amazing and esteemed speaker, and he should be back next year.' 'He refreshed and reinforced last year's education.' 'Sam Deep's presentation on public speaking will be so helpful to me in my profession.' 'Of all the speakers he was #1 with me.'"

David C. Kozak, Director, Leadership Erie


"Thanks for an excellent presentation at the President's Forum of Southwest Florida. Everyone was delighted with the program. We want you back! The "Make It Happen!" workshop was equally well received. Many are sorry they missed the opportunity. I keep telling them next year you'll return with another dynamic seminar."

James D. Carter, Executive Director, President's Forum of Southwest Florida


"Thank you for providing the opening session at our annual conference. Your participation helped make this the best one yet. The opening session gives the conference its "feel" for the week, and we could not have asked for a better start this year. We look forward to working with you in the future."

Liz Collins, Conference Coordinator
