Leadership and Career coach
An experienced career coach and business consultant with a background of working at a senior level in Financial Services. Regarded as strategic and pragmatic, with a proven ability to support clients through change. Drawing on perspectives gained from leadership practices and coaching approaches, I offer a space in which clients can think, be listened to, and identify practical techniques to support their personal development.

Director, Secure Construct
Throughout my career, I’ve been regarded as personable, practical and outcome oriented. I spent over 20 years in senior roles within Wealth Management, successfully working both in-house and as a consultant.
My early experience in professional services taught me about operations, controls, and management, but it’s always been the people who kept me engaged. My people-oriented approach gave me the opportunity to lead diverse teams across Europe, South America, Australia and Africa, navigating the constant change of large organisations.
I am no stranger to change, constantly pushing boundaries to work outside my comfort zone. In fact, it’s being in the stretch zone that fuels me. As well as navigating a successful corporate career, I’ve set up my own business, challenged the norm, raised a family (and two dogs), trekked across mountains, competed in long-distance swimming events and, most recently, completed the UK Oxfam Trailwalker 100km-ultra challenge.
“ …it’s been great to see the demonstrable output of Sam’s coaching through the team’s increased motivation and focus. ”
Partner, Crowe Consulting, UK
Sam is no stranger to change, constantly pushing boundaries to work outside her comfort zone. In fact, it’s being in the stretch zone that fuels her. As well as a successful 20+yr corporate career, she’s lived around the world, challenged the norm, raised a family (and two dogs), trekked across mountains, competed in long-distance swimming events and, most recently, completed the UK Oxfam Trailwalker 100km ultra challenge.
Based on perspectives gained from her experiences, as well as university-accredited Coaching training, Sam offers a safe, impartial space where clients can think and be listened to.
Make no mistake, this isn’t going to be a cosy chat. While Sam’s style is warm and encouraging, this is about supporting you to get results. If you’ve come for coaching, change is afoot, and our work is to support you to thrive through that transition.
This work is designed to be thought-provoking and, at times, even challenging. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it.
