She is more than an amazing artist, she is an impressive thinker who makes every discussion worth far more than it would be in her absence. She practices meaningful listening and her feedback is better because of it. I recommend her strongly.

Michael D Carter, Trial Lawyer

A seasoned seminar leader and trainer, including commercial audios and videos, I was invited to speak at TEDxIIT. A TED Talk is different from leading multi-day seminars. Done right, it is a speech that is so well-crafted it comes across like a talk. Fortunately, Amy Segami was my speech coach. She focused in on the essence of my talk, vetting its ideas and imagery, even suggesting the closing metaphor. In rehearsal, she offered specific stage changes that appreciably improved my final presentation.

If you are making an important presentation or speech, you will profit from her insights and skills.

Charles W. Faulkner, Senior Researcher & Consultant Mental Edge Trading Associates

Amy helped me with my presentation at TEDxIIT as well as my commencement speech at Illinois Tech. In both cases, she not only help me deliver great presentations, but also helped me to become a better speaker. Amy has a natural gift for communications which enables her to both present and teach at an elite level.

Chris Gladwin, CEO, Ocient

Amy Segami’s Painting on Water workshop is an innovative way to gain personal insights into leadership and life. We have featured Amy in two of our recent leadership sessions, and her unique style and medium have been successful in expanding the participants’ understanding of themselves and their leadership style.

As an organizer of leadership training sessions, I appreciate Amy’s willingness to tailor her workshop to meet the culture and needs of the organization. The resulting outcome is a “masterpiece”!

John Kolmer, GPHR, Manager – Global Leadership Development at Dow Chemical

I have heard Amy Segami deliver keynotes and train business and education groups in different parts of the world. She is able to customize her content to meet the needs of people of very diverse cultures. Her story is unique, different and her creativity multi-facetted — she is able to reach both the mind and heart of her audiences and creates a smooth flow between thinking and feeling. There is a special kind of sensitivity connected to her presentations which makes the experience very authentic. She varies her style of presentation and moves from serious contemplation to humor and fun — capturing the attention of the audience throughout. I will recommend Amy without hesitation.

Dr. Kobus Neethling, expert on whole brain thinking and creative behavior, President, South African Creativity Conference and author of more than 90 books

Amy applies multi-cultural history, talent and instructional expertise to create a program that meets the cognitive and affective needs of all participants. I recommend her without reservation to anyone who desires to leave an audience feeling their lives have been touched and enhanced.
