How Sameer Somal Drives
Impact by Speaking at
Corporate Events

I met Mr. Somal at a law firm industry conference where he was the keynote speaker. He was doing the tap dance between legalese and entertainment.

Thank you for everything you did for BGS at the Global Leadership Summit! I wish every speaker contributed as much–promotion video with over 4,000 views prior to the event working the room, the gym, the lobby, the dining area, etc and remembering everyone’s name; judging the case competition; and having a 5-star rating for your presentation. Your engagement was so valuable to our event and all of us at BGS appreciate it. You definitely practice what you preach, Sameer. Several of us were talking about your energy and enthusiasm, along with your warm personality. We decided we want to be like you when we grow up!.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Sameer on a global webinar for 100 Women in Finance on Building Relationship Capital Online and Offline.

On behalf of the FPA San Diago, I want to a huge thank you for you for presenting The Case for Succession Planning at our annual educational symposium. As expected, your program was phenomenal and very well received by the membership. We very much appreciate your objective perspective and insight on how to address this very key issue and crucial challenge not only for our chapter, but for the entire profession. Equally impactful was your presentation to our NextGen members (the night before symposium) on Entrepreneurship and the Intangibles of Success. You surely inspired the group to continue investing in themselves and helped them to identify some key factors to becoming a successful entrepreneur. I am confident all those attendances went to sleep quite a bit smarter than they did a day earlier. Again, we are very much appreciative of your time and dedication to exemplary education and thought leadership. We indeed look forward to hosting you again in future.

I met Sameer through my role at CFA Society Calgary several years ago and have since worked with him on many occasions. As a speaker, Sameer is engaging and entertaining, and his passion for the topic at hand shines through at every presentation. Sameer has an ability to connect with his audience and build long lasting relationships. When he says to reach out to him at any time, he truly means it. As a skilled networker, Sameer’s sphere of influence is vast and diverse, and he is always willing to connect like-minded individuals with each other.

Sameer is relentless, in the best possible way. One of the brightest and highest energy people I know. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak several years ago in the Cayman Islands and recently have had the opportunity to work with Sameer and his team. It is a cliché but they really over-deliver. I truly value the relationship I've developed with Sameer and look forward to continuing to partner with him in the future.

I was initially impressed with Sameer's enthusiasm, expertise and knowledge when he keynoted at a Scotiabank executive meeting in 2016. His insight on digital transformation was engaging and added significant value to our objectives and plans. Sameer and I have remained professionally connected and he provided useful advice and counsel when I launched my company and consulting practice. Additionally, upon his recommendation, the team at Blue Ocean Global Technology objectively engaged with me, with seeming priority and I highly recommend Sameer.

I've known Sameer Somal for many years now in my financial planning world - as a professional speaker and as a dedicated partner to the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota. He has presented well and has much expertise to offer. His follow-through to any commitment and timeliness is top-notch and very much appreciated. He is a pleasure to work with and we look forward to continuing to grow our relationship.

Sameer is such a consummate professional. He is extremely competent and energetic. He is extremely honorable and ethical. Anyone who needs his services should know he will provide the best service available.

Sameer and I have known each other for a few years now. One constant - no matter what's going on for either of us or in the world - is Sameer's generosity and care. Many people are great business people, but it's rare that business savvy is also combined with authentic humanity. Sameer brings all of that - a deep caring, an inexhaustible well of giving, and a stellar sense of business. I highly recommend Sameer in any capacity.

It’s rare that you come across standout leadership talent like Sameer Somal. I had the pleasure of working with Sameer and his international team on cross functional digital marketing and speaking projects. Sameer’s ability to juggle multiple large projects while still genuinely caring about making a positive impact in other’s lives is remarkable. He created a highly efficient, motivating and inspiring work atmosphere. Any employee would be lucky to have Sameer as a manager

Our IIM team engaged Sameer to share perspective on purpose, passion, creativity and happiness. He was such an engaging and memorable speaker. Sameer is genuinely committed to being an agent of positive change in the lives of tomorrow's leaders. His passion for educating on issues that are at the heart of how we can improve society for the better is infectious. The vision for Girl Power Talk is an exciting one. I believe Sameer will continue to spread this positive culture and message globally because it underpins what is missing from most work cultures. Thank you for inspiring our community!

I've had the pleasure of hearing Sameer speak on multiple occasions about the power of networking and building relationships. Whenever I see that Sameer will be in town or doing an online seminar, I encourage my colleagues to join as there is always something to be learned with practical takeaways as to how to improve your networking skills. Sameer takes something that can often feel overwhelming and breaks it down in a way that leaves you excited to connect with new people. I highly recommend everyone to engage Sameer in some capacity and if you have the chance to listen to him speak, jump at the opportunity.

Sameer was an engaging speaker and a great person! He has a way of captivating his audience and he provides actionable insights that attendees can begin seeing the benefits from as soon as they walk out of one of his talks.

I cannot say enough positive things about Sameer. He is one of the most polished, professional, and intelligent people I know. He constantly goes above and beyond to develop and nurture relationships - always doing what he says he will do and even more! His passion for developing younger and newer people is infectious and he has a great skill set around leadership and professional development. I feel like I am always learning something from him and really appreciate how eager he is to help others succeed. Plus he just makes you feel comfortable when you are around him.

I met Sameer at the Empowering a Billion Women conference when he participated as a key speaker. I have had the great fortune of knowing Sameer; a positive and caring entrepreneur, who is always happy to help. A clear expression of his dedication & passion is easily spotted through his work in Blue Ocean Global Technology and Girl power Talk.

Sameer has been a speaker at several of my online leadership events. His energy, enthusiasm, generosity, and drive, combined with his thought leadership on several topics make him an ideal contributor if you are looking for a speaker, panel expert, or presenter. On top of that, Sameer is a wonderful person. He is always "all in" and contributes to your project in ways you did not even think of. So if you are planning your next conference or event, make sure you connect with Sameer to give your project additional oxygen.

Thank you so much for making the time to speak to the Georgetown Club of Philadelphia about Entrepreneurial mindset and the intangibles of success at our Career Development event.
