As a Leadership Coach, I have the honour of guiding and witnessing people in their transformation process. What I love the most about this, is that each journey is completely unique. Transformation can take many shapes and forms and today’s poem celebrates the very personal aspect of it.
Transformation
Transformation doesn’t always shout loudly, parading itself around like a neon catsuit!
No, it doesn’t necessarily announce itself on Facebook, disappear to an Ashram in Kerala or put its house on the market overnight due to an irrepressible urge to do things differently NOW.
Transformation can be a subtle whisper.
A gentle cooing.
A calm, grounded whir of an inner knowing that your soul is evolving effortlessly
according to its very own style and rhythm.
Transformation
is worn so differently
felt so differently
experienced so differently
by all those who dare to really
“go there”
and there really is no one size fits all
It is a daily choice to flow with the growing.
A daily decision to embrace authenticity.
A daily commitment to allow your expression.
Come what may.
And how that all looks on the outside, can be incredibly diverse.
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
