What our clients are saying
Jesse Henry
CEO, Alt Labs & Top Keynote Speaker
“I have loved getting to work with Samantha. As a kid with a stutter, I spent decades in speech therapy and stage acting classes. I have been trained by some of the top speakers in the world (Tony Robbins, Oren Klaff, etc). The training that Stride has provided me with is world-class. Samantha has practical advice to help simplify ideas and expand impact. I would recommend Stride to anyone looking to level up their public speaking capabilities, their coaching is sure to bring your public speaking to the next level.”
Dr. Melissa Robinson
EQ & Empathy Author, Speaker & Trainer
“Prior to working with Stride, I felt that my TEDx talk was pretty good. I had a topic I'm passionate about and I think society really needs. I have some speaking experience and mostly knew what was required for a TEDx speaker. But I still felt something was missing, and that in order to take my talk from good to great, I needed help. Samantha was recommended to me as someone who would be able to do that, and wow did she knock it out of the park! Her teaching style blended the information I needed with an approach that made it all understandable and achievable, and she was always willing to go the extra mile to help me make my talk the very best it could be. In hindsight, my talk needed a lot of work, and she was able to help me bridge the gap between the talk I had vs. the talk it became.”
Jhansi Kandasamy
VP, Regulatory & External Affairs, The Nuclear Company
“Although I’ve been in the industry for nearly 40 years and thought I was pretty good, receiving feedback on the blind spots in my planning and presentation organization was truly humbling. In just the first three months, I saw significant growth—especially in my storytelling, delivery, and ability to connect with both domestic and global audiences. I've earned standing ovations and been invited back to present. Stride equipped me with the tools to organize my thoughts, draw from real-life experiences, and deliver with both credibility and authenticity.”
Sara & Ben Jensen
Co-Founders and CEO’s, Hugh & Grace
“We've had the pleasure of working with Stride in several capacities - for our annual conference, our leadership retreat, and various community trainings. Samantha has the rare gift of inspiring people to see beyond their perceived limitations while providing them with the tools and roadmap to achieve goals they never believed possible. Through her leadership, our community has not only gained practical tools for success but, more importantly, the confidence to dream bigger and take meaningful action to turn those dreams into reality. Samantha’s impact is tangible—you will become a better version of yourself after spending time with her. We can't recommend her highly enough.”
