Hi, I am Samantha,

I have a very unique background that serves my role as a coach and facilitator really well, and my clients get to reap the benefits!

I spent the first 18 years of my career as a Forensic Scientist. This honed my skills of maintaining an open mind, deep curiosity, and using unbiased, scientific methodology to achieve results. I am a seeker of the truth.

I have always been interested in human growth and development, my own and others. I care about people and supporting them to achieve their best. I see how hard leaders work in trying to achieve results and effect change on behalf of themselves but also for their teams and their organisations. I now devote my life to supporting leaders achieve what seems like the impossible each and every day, while still thriving themselves.

Having spent collectively over 10 years supporting leaders in their development journeys, through a variety of different ways, I can honestly say I have found my purpose. Whether it is coaching individual leaders, developing teams as a whole or delivering longer transformation programs, I have found this is where I offer the greatest service.

Supporting leaders break through barriers they have been struggling to overcome is a privilege.

I draw on many different coaching tools, diagnostics, and coaching experience to meet each client where they are at and tailor interventions to suit each person or situation.

It took me a long time to get out of my own way, and now I am here I could not be more grateful to all the coaches, mentors, teachers (and my old insecurities :-) ) that have helped me get to where I am today. I now help others get out of their own way, so they can live more fulfilled lives, using more of their potential and gifts.

My coaching and programs are only recommended for leaders who truly want to change and break through to their next level. I am in the business of change and transformation, so if that is what you are looking for then you are in the right place.

Knowing where you want to get to is only half the story on the journey of change, you also need to know where you are starting from to be able to navigate to your destination. There are many tools that can be used for deepening self-awareness, and they all have their different uses. Below is a sample of some of the tools and diagnostics I draw on in my coaching and programs, but always remember, as humans we are so much more complex than any tool or model can represent. So use them to gain deeper insights, but no one, not even you, fits in a box:

• Coaching Certifications (Executive Coach Certification with Coaching Australia; and Vertical Development Practices for Coaches and Leaders with the Vertical Development Institute).

• Vertical/Adult Develop coaching tools - Global Leadership Profile (GLP), Shifting Horizons, and MyWorldView.

• 360 assessments - Leadership Circle Profile (LCP), and Human Synergistics suite of tools (Life Style Inventory (LSI), Leadership Impact (LI), Management Impact (MI) or Group Styles Inventory (GSI)) and Hogan 360.

• Strength Profile (Cappfinity).

• Herrmann’s Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI).

• 15 years experience in mindfulness and somatic practices.

I hope this has given you a sense of who I am and what I bring into my coaching and facilitation practice. I look forward to connecting with you.
