We highly-sensitive beings can seem a little dramatic to less sentient souls! Speaking for myself here, I know that the way I describe my emotional experiences can seem off-the-scale to some folk and I am happy to own that! There are of course challenges to feeling everything on steroids but I’ll take them anytime in order to live my aliveness in this viscerally vibrant way!
Bountiful Beauty
May I be always moved by life, touched by the nascent rising
Connected to the world inside, heart wide to love’s horizons
May I be humbled by the tones of birds in tranquil places
By thankfulness may I be stirred, awake to spirit’s graces
May I be touched and show my awe, awake, alive, receptive
May I feel what is real and raw, take distance from the sceptics
Sense all there is and seize the day observe each sunset faded
Inspired in authentic ways, be by the truth invaded
Courageous, playful, instincts rife and open to surprising
May I be always moved by life, touched by the nascent rising
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
