Testimonials
"Working with Sam has been truly rewarding, both professionally and personally. I was at a crossroads in my career, struggling to decide on my next step. Sam's empathetic listening and insightful guidance were instrumental in helping me untangle my thoughts and gain clarity about my future. She didn't just help me make a decision; she empowered me to feel confident in it. Beyond that, Sam helped me address my imposter syndrome and build the confidence I needed to pursue and land a role I truly love. She challenged me to see past my self-limiting beliefs and helped me develop a completely new and more positive perspective. I highly recommend Sam as a coach and mentor to anyone seeking clarity, confidence, and positive change."
Marie K
Continuous Improvement Support Lead
"I can highly recommend Sam for anyone who is looking for a coach whether that’s for personal development, career progression or both. What stood out for me most is Sam’s genuine passion for helping people and supporting them to achieve their goals.
I sought support from Sam at a time where I was lacking clarity on next steps and struggling to see how to move forward. Not only was Sam able to provide support around some near term 'quick wins' but to also assist structured thinking around longer term goals, having the confidence to communicate my needs and outline actionable next steps.
Sam has a wealth of knowledge, experience and techniques which she finds a way to seamlessly weave into each interaction, exploring a range of topics and challenging me to consider other possibilities. I felt like Sam genuinely understood what I was trying to achieve and tailored her approach to work in a way that was right for me. Our time together helped bring me clarity, increased confidence and a renewed appreciation for value a coach can add - thank you Sam!"
Lisa J
Project Business Lead
"Sam has been my coach and mentor for a number of years and has been instrumental in my development. When we first started working together I was lacking in confidence and 'stuck' in a role with a lack of clarity on where I wanted to go next. Sam worked with me through 121 coaching sessions to help identify the root causes of my feelings and develop strategies for me to use to improve my confidence in the moment as well as address the root causes. Sam creates a very trusting, safe environment and always knows the right questions to ask.
As a result I built up the confidence to move into 2 more senior roles at the same organisation, then move into a different role at a new organisation - massively pushing me outside of my comfort zone but leading to a more senior role at a faster-paced organisation. I have a better idea of what drives me and my values, and clarity on where I want to go with my career. I've also become more confident and self assured in my personal life.
Needless to say, I can't recommend Sam highly enough as a coach or mentor."
Jen Cooper
Product Owner
"I have been coached by Sam to develop my leadership and communication skills. Sam helped me achieve my dream of gaining a senior leadership role within my organisation by effectively seeking to understand what I was hoping to achieve and asking relevant questions so that I could uncover my challenges and successes. Sam is a fantastic listener and is approachable, knowledgeable and friendly. The sessions I have completed with Sam have been rewarding and challenging – encouraging me to think differently to achieve my career goals. I can’t thank you enough Sam!"
Carol Howells
Branch Cluster Manager
"Sam has been patient with me throughout our sessions. She has asked fantastic questions providing an environment where I can open up and be vulnerable. Sam asked probing questions for us both to understand what needed to be covered and in what order. I feel that Sam and I have
covered quite a bit of ground and made real progress. Sam provided me with tangible actions that I was able to try out in real work situations and feedback on my progress.
The impact of Sam’s support and how she has gone about supporting me has made a real difference to me. I have grown in confidence and look forward to her sessions. Sam has made me feel that although I do the actions on my own, she is behind me invisibly supporting me which has made such a difference. Working with Sam has improved my relationships in work and enabled me to use new ways of working which are positive and share my thoughts on things. "
