Taking control of your career starts with you.

At various points in our career, we become aware that something needs to change, be it us, our role, our organisation or our industry. Once we are clear on where we want to go, then we can create a plan for how to get there.

Sam works with Leaders who are ready to do something different, whether that’s transitioning to the corporate sector, or up levelling their current abilities in self-awareness, other-awareness and context-awareness. Sam helps you to identify where you want to go, and how to get there.
