Hi, I’m Sam.
I’m an Executive Coach for Creative Leaders.
I work with people who think differently. Who want to do things differently. Who believe things can be better.
I worked at some of the best advertising agencies in the world (adam&eveDDB, Mother, Havas). I saw incredible creative people (some were ‘Creatives’, others weren’t) solve real problems, for businesses, charities, non-profits.
And whilst they’d often rise to a certain level, for too many their progress just… stopped.
Because our orthodoxy is that creative people live ‘over there’. That they don’t make it to the top.
Which means we too often don’t have their minds, their voices, their spirits at the top table.
And since everyone in the creative industries is there to solve problems, we’re missing out on absolute gold.
We don’t need more of the same old, same old in the boardroom.
We need creative minds, ambitious souls, big hearts.
There are big problems ahead of us. Within our industry, across our societies, and for our very planet.
The biggest problem is the lack of creativity used to solve those problems.
I want to help get that creativity back by filling the world with Creative Leaders.
I never felt like I fit. An entrepreneur, an ex-advertising suit, a sensitive man, a coach and thinker, a father, a storyteller, improviser and actor.
And not fitting is a beautiful gift.
Let’s flood the world with creatively brilliant leaders.
I have coached hundreds of clients across the world and across the Creative Industries, including c-suite and leaders in Advertising, Branding, Production, Video Games and beyond.
I also design and deliver bespoke workshops and consultancy services that help agencies and creative organisations flourish.
Let me know what I can do for you.
