Our baby tiger-dolphin has just rocked up after a week of unexplained absence. He wolfed his cat food down without a care in the world and looks exactly the same as he did a week ago! I am still in shock and so grateful to have our bundle of joy back. We even talked to an animal communication, a lovely lady called Lynne Schuster, and she was sure he’d be back soon and she was right. Here’s a poem I wrote about Zigs yesterday…
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
Am so glad. I have been following the story. Our Selkirk Rex cat once disappeared for a week. He has now long gone to his 10th life, but after his disappearance he returned. We think he had been mistakenly locked in somewhere, but have no idea. When he arrived home he fed for almost an hour and then had a few hours sleep. We will never know where he was.
So pleased to hear your cat came back! When we ran a small hotel in Bournemouth, we had a gorgeous cat called ‘Basil’ (?) Even dog-lovers took to Basil. He had great charm…so what he slept on their beds when he had half the chance…Sadly, he was killed by a motor-bike before he could use up half of his lives.. I cried a river….Enjoy!..

Thank you for sharing! Rex sounds like a character just like our Ziggy! We are so relieved he is home and will also probably never know what happened!
