Join us at Aspire where imagination, leadership, and empowerment create personal, business and world change.

Pure inspiration

"It was a pure inspiration. I have the empowerment to change static views and engage further in equality for women. Every woman needs to engage with Aspire and every woman in power needs to step up for those who can't. It crosses borders, it crosses sectors, it unites a flame inside you to stand up, raise the roof, to make a change with a massive support crew in tow.

Feeling inspired, well informed, energised

"Sam Collins is a confident, inspirational, articulate and well informed speaker. The content of her presentations is informative, practical and engaging. She has the ability to really understand her audience’s interests, "grab" and "hold" their attention and leave them feeling inspired, well informed, energised and ready for action at the end of her presentations."

Sam has a gift

"Sam has a gift for capturing the essence of a topic and explaining it in a lively and engaging way, without ever appearing to lecture."

Clear, focused... incredibly professional

"Sam Collins is a very well prepared speaker, clear about key messages, her impact, delivery style etc., but also able to throw away the (mental or physical) script and improvise as necessary. She has a strong sense of fun and an infectious optimism and strength, but is equally very clear, focused, business-like and incredibly professional."
