Sam Deep launched his speaking career in 1986 after 15 years of teaching and administration at the University of Pittsburgh. Since then, he has spoken in front of over 100,000 people, his internationally published books have sold over 1,000,000 copies, and his last four audio tapes have been featured on USAir’s EntertainAir.

When Dennis Waitley said that Sam’s books brilliantly cut straight through to the core values and actions that produce results, he was referring to Smart Moves (now in fourteen printings and thirteen languages), What to Say to Get What You Want, Yes You Can!, Smart Moves for People in Charge, Power Tools, Close the Deal, Act On It! and his latest, Lost & Found.

Sam’s ideas about management have been quoted in newspapers and magazines throughout the country as well as on CNN-FN, CNBC, and WGN radio Chicago. On top of his consulting practice, he is an adjunct professor of leadership at the Tepper Scholl of Business of Carnegie Mellon University. For five years he hosted “Following the Leader” a weekly radio program in Pittsburgh that focuses on Jesus of Nazareth as a role model for organizational leadership.

Some of Sam’s clients include Alcoa, American Institute of Banking, Bayer Corporation, Carnegie Mellon University, Hallmark Cards, Heinz USA, International Customer Service Association, Mellon Bank, Merck, New York University, OfficeMax, PNC Bank, PPG Industries, Pittsburgh Symphony, Veterans Administration, and Westinghouse, as well as many more.
