Over Sabyasachi Sengupta
Sabyasachi Sengupta is a banker and a speaker in the Netherlands. He has worked in major banking giants like Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse, Nomura and currently working with ABN AMRO Bank in Amsterdam. In his 12 years of careers, he has seen major highs and lows in this industry. From the big fat bonuses to bankruptcy, from generous perks to major cost-cutting.
He ventured into the world of public speaking in 2010. He found his true passion on the stage. In 2014, he won the Dutch-speaking competition (in English) and represented The Netherlands in the European Finals and came 2nd. In 2015, he became the European champion of public speaking. Since then he started his journey as a keynote speaker, trainer, and moderator.
The love for the stage has taken him to various places including TEDx, corporate summits, university events, Congress. He has also shared his opinion and stories on several Dutch television, vlogging channels, radio and print media.
Sabyasachi is also a member of Rotary Club in Amsterdam where with the team they try to help people, especially children in need. He used to teach at an underprivileged school Asha Kiran in Mumbai and he considers that year as a teacher as one of the most fulfilling years of his life.
His new talk “ Adversity Management” is based on the turbulence he has seen in the last 12 years. Besides personal experience, he has taken inputs from Senior Directors from banks that went bust in the crisis, International sports legend, politicians from the European Union, young talents who were nominated as Forbes 30 under 30. The idea of the talk is very simple, what should you do today so that you are ready for any turbulence in the future.
One of Sabyasachi’s favorite quote is “ If you sweat more during peacetime, you bleed less during wartime”.

Sam Knowles is one of the most interesting and engaging speakers I have ever seen
"Sam Knowles is one of the most interesting and engaging speakers I have ever seen – Full Stop. I first had the pleasure of witnessing the wonder of Sam at the 2018 Media Research Group Conference in 2018 in Bratislava, where Sam was the keynote speaker. Sam captivated the attention of the audience and presented new ways of thinking about data and insight in a way which demonstrated how the theories could be applied and more importantly how be turned into actionable results."
“Since then, I have been a great fan of Sam's work, and after reading his fantastic publications Narrative by Numbers and How To Be Insightful, I reached out to Sam to ask if he would be interested in presenting his work to the membership of the IPA. Sam kindly obliged and delivered an incredibly popular webinar which drew on his previous works and talked of how agencies and brands alike could apply the thinking to navigate the unprecedented times we are living in during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Needless to say, Sam's presentation was fantastic, evidenced by continued audience engagement throughout, so many audience requests and questions we couldn't answer them all due to time constraints and also the lowest audience drop off rate we have seen. The feedback from attendees was exceptional with one attendee stating that the webinar was 'mind altering' and 'completely changed the way they understood data and insight' and many others asking where they could see Sam present again as he was so good."
“The great thing about Sam is that he presents in such a great way that he makes what he presents so understandable and applicable for the audience he is presenting to. His speaking style is very engaging and his personality and enthusiasm make you feel like you are on a journey of discovery, while making sure you never feel lost or overwhelmed. As you can tell, we're huge fans of Sam and his work at the IPA and we very much hope to work with him again in the future. If you get the chance to see Sam speak, take it without hesitation – I can assure you, you won't be disappointed.”

"Saby helped me to develop the storytelling competencies of the students in my class"
Saby helped me to develop the storytelling competencies of the students in my class. Storytelling can be perceived as a hard to master skill. Saby managed to demystify this skill by breaking it down into logical steps and comprehensible frameworks. Through his structured approach and pleasant appearance, he engaged the students to start practicing and applying the lessons learned. His teaching and coaching has definitely increased the quality of the students’ work. I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a lecturer and coach in storytelling and public speaking.
"Saby’s Master Class at Uva was equally useful and entertaining"
Saby’s Master Class at Uva was equally useful and entertaining. He has a confident appearance, a well-structured message and a casual still thought-out scenario which provided us with theoretical background but also left room to exercise and present the newly acquired story-telling methods. Saby’s sense of humor, improvisation skills and interactions with the group contributed greatly to the positive atmosphere of the workshop. For me personally this class confirmed the importance and necessity of improving my presentation skills, listening to my classmate’s speeches made me aware of the common mistakes and by Saby’s feedbacks we learned how we can avoid or correct them. Most important learning points were the short methods he presented. Since then I pay more attention to the speeches of my colleagues and actually already spotted some of the methods by presentations given by senior managers at my company.
