Client Testimonials

  • ❝ I had the privilege of hearing Samantha Matters from Eras Foresight & Consulting speak at Imaginging 2080 in Hamilton, ON, and it was nothing short of mind blowing. ❡ I was not expecting but was shaken to my core by the power of her words. Her ability to combine and yet simplify complex ideas around foresight and equitable futures through storytelling in a very short period of time was remarkable. ❡ What I always appreciate in Sam's work and whenever I hear her talk is her emphasis on centring Indigenous knowledge in futures thinking—not as an afterthought, but as a driving force for innovation and robust solutions. Sam left the audience challenged by a new perspective on navigating the future with intentionality and inclusivity.❞

    Julius Lindsay, Director, Sustainable Communities, David Suzuki Foundation.

  • ❝ I had the privilege of working with Sam and Jacquie during my time as Managing Director of Indigenous Clean Energy (ICE). Sam played an instrumental role in the creation of the Generation Power program, a groundbreaking initiative focused on advancing Indigenous clean energy job opportunities for youth ages 18-30 and employment equity. Sam developed the foundational program design documents that secured critical funding to develop th program. ❡ After Sam transitioned from ICE, she and Jacquie became key consultants for the program, leading the employment equity training component of Generation Power. They designed an exceptional, user-friendly curriculum that consistently received glowing feedback from employers for its relevance and depth. Their ability to bring equity into workplace conversations—both through comprehensive online courses and in-person sessions—was transformative. ❡ The use of futures and foresight practices to frame these sessions added a unique and impactful dimension. Sam and Jacquie’s work has always been marked by the highest quality, delivered on time and within budget. ❡ Their expertise in facilitation and online course design was invaluable to the success of the program. They are thoughtful, innovative, and deeply committed to fostering inclusive workplaces. I can’t recommend their work highly enough.❞
