Testimonials
I had the privilege of working with Sam for a short period of time where she helped me overcome several work challenges and personal issues. Sam's approach to coaching instantly put me at ease, whilst offering really insightful advice and working mechanism's to help overcome my problems. The advice Sam has given me, I still use now and put into practice regularly. I would definitely recommend Sam's services and can not rate her coaching ability highly enough. Whilst working at 6 Group, I worked along side Sam as an Executive Search consultant. Sam is a natural relationship builder and was very proactive in winning new mandates as well as delivering on these. As an experienced Search Consultant she led by example and was always at hand to share her knowledge/experience.

Sam is a natural coach. She was really easy to work with and offered thoughtful, insightful advice on complex matters. A great colleague who will be sorely missed.

I have been fortunate to have known Sam for a number of years. She was referred to me by a network contact as an expert coach and mentor. She initially helped me to work through difficult situations in my work environment and her advice was invaluable. I have since used her skills not only to develop my own career but also to focus on meeting my goals from a personal level. I have been privileged to act as a referee for her recently, and I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future. I cannot recommend her highly enough to potential clients
