ABOUT
I’ve spent decades helping leaders and teams turn big visions into tangible results. Whether it’s a transformational offsite or 1:1 coaching, I’m here to make it stick.
I get it—leadership is heavy. Sleepless nights, relentless pressure, and juggling people and profits. My approach is simple: bring clarity to the chaos and create space for authentic connection, growth, and play.
Lasting change doesn’t live in your head—it’s in your gut, your body. Make no mistake, this work isn’t easy but it doesn’t have to weigh you down. And your team? They’re over cookie-cutter offsites. They want something real.
Something fun.
We’ll dive deep, shake things up, and get you and your team moving with purpose and confidence.
Embodied leadership. Adaptive teams.
That’s my mission.

MICHELLE ANASTASI
Chief People Officer
UPLIGHT
In a very short amount of time, Sam helped us design and execute a highly impactful offsite which not only delivered on our business objectives but also empowered our team members to advocate for their own needs and ideas as well as for the wellbeing of their teammates. Sam’s effective leadership allowed me to focus on my new role as Chief People Officer instead of being pulled into the weeds of designing and facilitating this massive gathering. I encourage you to give Sam a call for any whole company gathering you are planning.
ALEXANDRA WEINER
Founder, CEO
Open Labs
Sam helped us design and facilitate a number of different gatherings at Open Labs. During the planning process Sam inspired our team to think way outside the box of what we had previously imagined. His facilitation was inclusive and playful which put a diverse set of people at ease with each other and allowed us to have meaningful and memorable conversations. And simultaneously he helped us achieve the impact outcomes we needed from each event. Sam’s energy is contagious and his presence enabled our live events to build sustainable momentum for the organization.
SCOTT WEIGLE
VP of Business Development
ANGI's
I hired Sam to work with my business development team for an offsite. We are mostly individual contributors so the team dynamics aren’t always my focus as the leader. Sam took us through exercises and conversations that not only helped each of my team members grow as humans but also helped us get more connected as a team. We all left the day feeling energized and connected in a way that will serve us both inside of work as well as in our lives. I’ve already recommended Sam to other department leaders in my organization and I will be calling Sam again the next time my team is in need of a Tune Up.

You’ve got big ideas, and I’m here to help you make them sing. In this partnership, we’ll work together to design an offsite that’s as unique as your team.

1:1 Experiential Coaching
If you’re a CEO, Founder, or leader, it’s time to get off the screen, out of your head, and into action—literally. We walk (yes, even virtually) because movement unlocks the kind of clarity and creativity stagnant thinking can’t touch.
This isn’t about fixing you. You’re not broken.
What makes this different?
I won’t throw a generic coaching framework at you. My job is to uncover what’s already there, beneath the doubt and overthinking. You’ll stop second-guessing and lead with more ease and confidence.
Why me?
I’ll challenge you when you’re stuck, celebrate your wins, and call out your blind spots. Together, we’ll turn roadblocks into stepping stones and leave each session with a game plan that works—no fluff, just real, actionable insights.
What will you get from working with me?
-
Clarity amidst the chaos: We’ll untangle the complexities of your role and help you see the path forward with fresh perspective.
-
Confidence to lead authentically: No more doubt. Trust yourself, make bold decisions, and inspire others with your unique leadership style.
-
Tools to navigate uncertainty: From rallying your team to having tough conversations, you’ll learn to do it with grace and conviction.
-
A new relationship to leadership: Leadership isn’t just about doing—it’s about being. We’ll explore what it means to lead from a place of purpose, alignment, and flow.
JUSTIN SEGALL

UPLIGHT
Having Sam literally walk alongside me, while also being a step removed has been incredibly supportive over the years. Sam grounds me in the realities of my nervous system. His understanding of the body and mind paired with his ability to contextualize things with simple language helps me turn complexity into actionable steps.
BECK SYDOW

STICKER GIANT
Sam coached me through a period of high demand and stress, helping me stretch my leadership capabilities through deep personal work. Sam’s ability to listen deeply and distill my thoughts into keen insights brought me into a more aligned relationship with myself. Our work together remains a source of guidance and reminders that when I’m in good relationship with myself, I’m a better leader and human.
ALAN CURTIS

EIGEN LAYER
Humans don’t scale as fast as tech companies and I was falling behind. At first, I was skeptical about the practical benefits of coaching. But over the last four years Sam has helped me flesh out the mental models, physical cues, and habits necessary for me to scale as a leader.
