Hi, I’m Sam.

I am passionate about helping people to truly thrive in life, to feel energised, motivated, balanced, challenged, growing, with a sense of fulfilment and purpose.

When we thrive it benefits everyone around us, both at home and work. It affects the energy we bring to everything we do, how we show up in the world and the impact we have.

Prior to becoming a professional coach, I worked for 17 years as a global senior HR leader in the engineering, pharmaceutical and biotech industries. I have significant leadership experience, heading the HR function as Chief People Officer, supporting senior business leaders as a Global HR Business Partner and developing bespoke leadership programmes.  My professional experience of senior leadership in the corporate world, combined with my coaching expertise, makes me uniquely positioned to coach leaders who want to re-evaluate and transform their work life.

As a coach I combine challenge with empathy, support with honesty, and exploration with focus to help my clients achieve clarity, sustainable performance, more fulfilment and greater impact – for their personal satisfaction and for the benefit of their organisations.

I am a Certified Professional CoActive Coach (CPCC) trained by the CoActive Training Institute (CTI), which is widely regarded as the most rigorous coach training program in the industry.  I am also a graduate of CTI’s intensive 10-month leadership programme.  I‘m also a Certified Positive Intelligence (CPQC) mental fitness coach, having trained with the founder of Positive Intelligence, Stanford professor, Shirzad Chamine. I’m Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD).  I’m a mother of two and a farmer’s wife.  I love being in the mountains. Being in nature inspires and grounds me.
