Samantha is a professional actor, stand-up comic, writer, highly experienced facilitator and executive coach with over 10 years’ experience in delivering courses specialising in behavioural change. Employing a practical approach (based on the actor’s expertise in physicality, voice and language) she has enabled professionals from a wide range of sectors to develop in such areas as influencing skills, diversity, managing conflict, building rapport, interview skills, effective questioning, managing poor performance, presentation skills and delivering feedback.

Samantha specialises in leadership and interpersonal communication. Her approach is focused on identifying and achieving feasible outcomes that can be realistically executed in a corporate environment. The interventions used are a hybrid of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and somatic thinking underpinned by the humorous, supportive atmosphere she brings to her work. As a coach, her attention is drawn to the blocks that may prevent change, using the immediate experience as an opportunity for exploration, robust challenge, development, action and goal setting

As a stand-up comedian working in an often brutally honest world Samantha has learnt the importance of presence, authenticity, simplicity and creative story telling. Skills that can be honed and used within a business environment.
