It bothers me how much disconnection is present in life as we know it despite our compulsive social media messaging and online interactions. For me one of the quickest and most authentic ways of coming back to myself and hearing how I really feel is by being in nature. It is perhaps for this reason that I am so passionate about the walking coaching sessions that I do with my many of my clients. We often stop in a quiet spot and just take in what gems of wisdom that nature is mirroring back to my client. And there is always an answer or a piece of wisdom. Out in the great outdoors we belong instantaneously to something much bigger than our online lives.
Integral Part
You’re part of something bigger
You’re never quite alone
Part of the flowing river
Part of the wind that moans
Though you feel separation
It’s so far from the truth
Begin re-calibration
Connection we can choose
The golden hilltop morning
The fresh wood scented air
Do not condone self-scorning
They see you standing there
And through the grass truth flickers
True nature you’re my home
You’re part of something bigger
Don’t think that you’re alone

As well as being a poet, highly-sensitive being and self-confessed Crazy Cat Lady, I am a Creative Leadership Coach, Trainer and Team Coach with considerable experience in coaching clients in the Creative, Manufacturing, and Pharmaceutical sectors.
I specialise in helping individuals and teams to work past limiting beliefs, to think outside-of-the-box and to show up as conscious, inspiring and dynamic leaders. I am passionate about helping leaders to show up authentically and I design and co-lead bespoke Conscious Leadership programmes for FMCG organisations wishing to create opportunities for their employees to shine and truly maximise their potential.
In addition, I co-facilitate Happy Teams workshops, helping remote teams to build trust and connect to their strengths, purpose and vision in playful, creative and experiential ways.
A co-active coach with PCC accreditation from the ICF, I am also Leadership Circle Profile certified and ORSC trained. I graduated from the CTI Inner Leadership programme in February 2020 and know from firsthand experience what it means to do the deep, inner work needed for personal growth. I hold a BA in French and Drama and a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages.
Throughout my coaching career I have empowered individuals to write books, make life-affirming career changes, overcome anxiety and to take giant leaps towards heightened self-realisation, increased authentic leadership presence and spiritual growth. An ex-lawyer and C-suite executive client recently shared that she had “never experienced anything so powerful” and that she is now able to “trust her truth”. One global client team leader reported being “touched, motivated, encouraged and brimming with energy” and another shared that his team was able to “demonstrate their creativity and really get behind their vision”.
My personal and team coaching style is playful, intuitive, somatic and compassionate. My workshop facilitation style is dynamic, inclusive, expressive and authentic and my 20 years experience as an international school educator and team leader have contributed to my ease in leading group facilitation.
My superpower is using my incredible intuition and sensitivity to see into people and challenge them in a powerfully courageous way. A prolific poet and podcaster, I live and breathe my own creativity and in turn inspire others to do the same View all posts by Sam Allen Creative Coach

Yes- I’ve noticed the same thing on the odd occasions when I’ve taken my ‘pilgrims’ into the great outdoors.

Great poem Sam. You are taking up a subject of great truth.
Nature is a natural healer and we all need to partake of it daily if possible.
