His "ideas" programs are not just sizzle, they offer substance-they include tangible solutions. They provide a wealth of information and the impetus to act on it. Sam informs. He stimulates. He re-focuses participants. He provides actionable strategies for the obstacles faced by so many of today's organizations.

Before each presentation he conducts industry-related and company-specific research, including distributing his "What Hurts" questionnaire to program organizers. The information he receives enables him to customize his presentations and handout material to the interests and concerns of participants and organizers.

By program's end, participants have so much more than "just stuff" to think about. They have the ammunition, know-how & incentive to prepare a viable action plan... and DO IT!

As a facilitator during discussions and brainstorming workshops, Sam Geist uses the Socratic method to encourage participants to think about their business in new ways, to adopt different vantage points for decision making than they held before-in order to change, to improve, to grow.

He insists that asking tough questions-and answering them honestly-is crucial to the well being of every organization.
