"As
a writer/producer for television, I was confronted with an entirely
separate set of problems. I had to come to terms with the fact that
I was, indeed, a strong, opinionated person who did not suffer fools
gladly, in spite of every attempt I made to appear otherwise. Because
of what I learned from you, I can now laugh about it, relaxing those
around me. As a result, I am now viewed as being less threatening, more
trustworthy, and ultimately more effective. The course was extremely
empowering.
My own level of self-acceptance has increased tenfold, and I am no longer
wasting creative time and energy trying to be what I think others want
me to be.
Ironically, what sounded at first like a narcissistic 'image trip' turned
out to be the means to becoming more authentic as an individual and
a team member."

"Referred by an actor friend,
I was intrigued by the concept of Sam Christensen's workshop. After
one meeting, I was hooked--and fascinated by his warm, yet powerful
presentation of rich and rare information. As a corporate designer,
I understand the importance of image in everything, but Sam takes
it to new levels! He gently guided me to discovery of my Real Self.
Which totally changed the way I do business...and life!
"As a female entrepreneur, I found Sam Christensen's rare and rich guidance in Self-Image to be the single most powerful, provocative and life-changing workshop I have ever attended."

"Thanks to Sam's image definition work, I am
far more comfortable being in my own skin. I have a clearer understanding
of who I am, what I project and how people respond to me. I enter
new situations with greater self-confidence and ease. This knowledge
has been invaluable to me in every aspect of my life and has contributed
greatly to the personal and financial success I am now enjoying."

"Among the challenges faced on DINOSAUR, was
bringing together artists, technologists, and film crew from diverse
backgrounds. As an 'outsider' to all of these groups, it was an uphill
battle to get them to work in new ways. Armed with the knowledge that
my image could be my strength, I was able to approach these strong-willed,
independent individuals and instantly build relationships, trust and
a cohesive team."

"Thank you, Sam, for teaching me so brilliantly
a concept that has helped me in my interviewing people for the press:
that the important thing is that we have a real intimacy together,
and that starts with their trust of me, with my sharing of who I really
am."

"The knowledge that I obtained from Sam's class
in defining one's image has helped me immeasurably in my business
endeavors. I have applied the same image principles to the branding
initiative that I am developing for my shopping center. We will base
a renovation and marketing campaign on the core principles Sam taught
in his class."

"Sam has an amazing gift for showing you ways
in which the world perceives you. This tremendous tool allows you
to grow and gain in your professional and personal life because your
understanding of and insight into yourself is so much greater than
before he showed you the way. It was the best education I've ever
received and more useful than what you may learn in a practical classroom.
He is a master at his craft!"

"Add me to the list of Sam Christensen believers.
His process has indeed given me confidence. But more importantly
it has given me peace. I used to try REALLY HARD to be myself. Now
I can't help it nor can I stop."
"My whole life, everyone has told me to "be myself." In theory it sounds easy, in practice it's more difficult. SAM is the only person who has enabled me to do just that."
"We are told all of our lives to "be natural," "be yourself." But no one really told us how to do that. SAM shows you how. And he shows you the security and peace of mind that comes from knowing your true essence. You'll love yourself."

"It's amazing to me how
much I thoroughly appreciated and liked everyone in my workshop
group (especially those I didn't initially feel any affinity toward)
after they accepted and portrayed their true "essences," their true
selves. I realized that the converse is likely true, the more I
accept and portray who I am, the more others will accept and like
me; therefore the more successful I will become. It has made all
the difference in the comfort and ease I feel as woman in the business
world"

"Sam's class is so powerful
-- it will transform your life, your way of doing things and your
way of being not just in business, but in life. Lessons learned:
just be exactly who I am with no apologies. There's only one of
me on this earth so why try being like anyone else?"
"After taking Sam's class, I realized that I am perfect just as I am -- in my presentation, appearance and manner of speaking! I should honor my unique attributes, and the business will come! And, it has!!!"
"I stopped trying to accommodate others and instead just expressed exactly who I was, and in doing so, I've attracted those clients who love with I do and how I do it!"

"I've never learned anything more valuable
in my entire life of 43 years than Image Design by Sam Christensen.
Image Design helped me to discover everything about my own personality
and to accept myself. Thus, I was able to present the fullness of
myself me to the world. Image Design helped me to be so precise
about myself, that I could use my full personal strength in the
private and professional worlds. I've become a better person with
a lot of opportunities, a good wife and friend and I am fulfilling
my purpose in life. I have become one of the world's best communication
trainers, first self-employed and later as a consultant for Paine-Webber
European, UBS-Warburg and their E-commerce branch.
I like to call Sam Christensen my second birth nurse, because he helped me to see, hear, feel and act in my specific, God-given 'Willie' way. My mother did a great job in giving birth and nurturing me and Sam has completed it. He has helped me realize my natural ability to create empathy and build rapport."

"Sam's class has helped me both professionally
and personally. Now I know how I am perceived whether I'm making
a sales presentation or teaching a class. The process he teaches
his students and the exercises we did were fun, probing, introspective
and exciting. I wish I'd had a class like this when I was in college."

"As a 'child actor' I had confidence, but
making the transition to an adult actor/business owner, I was drained
at times. Sam's workshop let me receive an objective positive image
of 'me'. I received the ability to stop focusing on what others
want me to be, and let my own 'uniqueness' shine through in every
situation! I was reminded that we are all blessed with the gift
of being created 'unique.'"
