Recently I have heard a lot of people speaking about being with the unknown and learning how to trust the process and the chaos sometimes. It does feel like the last couple of years are teaching us a great deal when it comes to uncertainty and when we embrace the state of constant change, new awareness arises. I have just got back from an amazing retreat in Portugal with my iguanas and this theme surfaced a lot for me whilst there. On the second day Andy messaged to say our cat Ebony had gone missing and that he had Covid. When I returned I had to stay in a Hotel in my home town until he tested negative and on my arrival home I did my back in. Fortunately our little princess Ebony returned after ten days of being stuck in a neighbour’s garage but this whole period has required a lot of faith in what’s emerging.
For Sure
Uncertainty can be a gift it wakes us up inside
Here’s what I wrote whilst there.
For when our comfort blanket lifts into more trust we glide
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

Very well expressed! We are always testing ourselves it seems….sometimes we win and sometimes we don’t. All part of the human condition. We can but try!
