Leadership coaching is a partnership that creates the perfect environment for introspection, creative problem solving, and intentional action.

 
 

1.

Where are you starting from?

We’ll establish where you’re at right now, where you want to be, and what values, strengths and opportunities you bring to the table.

 
 

2.

What matters?

Next, we’ll determine what you care about the most. We’ll work to better understand your blindspots, explore all the paths you could take to get to your desired state, and begin making a plan.

 
 

3.

What’s next?

As you add tools to your toolkit, we’ll continue to build you up by putting those tactics to use, experimenting with new approaches and then reflecting to solidify your learning.

After working together, my clients are able to:

  • Identify unique superpowers by learning from past experiences

  • Develop the capacity to reflect and course correct in the moment

  • Better align their actions with both personal and business values and goals

  • Continuously leverage their new tools and tactics in any situation they face

Hi! I’m Sam.

I’m a coach and consultant that supports leaders like you.  

My clients are leaders who understand that their people are truly their greatest assets and are ready to explore ways that they can enrich their personal and professional lives. I offer an objective perspective, helping you see your blind spots and areas of opportunity with research-backed coaching frameworks that empower you and your team to reach your full potential. My background includes a degree from Cornell University and I am a Columbia Credentialed Professional Executive Coach as well as an Associate Certified Coach via the International Coaching Federation.

After working for years as the right-hand to many visionary startup founders, I’m well-versed in the excitement and growing pains that come with professional and personal growth. From a founder wrestling with existential questions to team members struggling to realize their full potential — I’ve seen it all, and understand the power that a thoughtful and encouraging coach can offer in those scenarios. Now more than ever, executives and employees alike are asking the tough questions: what really matters and how can I find meaning in what I do? Professional coaching is an antidote to these murky questions, providing insight and actionable steps to reach clear answers.

Whether I’m working with you or with top performers on your team, my role is to be your partner. Together, we can create the space that allows for clarity, goal-setting, and doing the work.
