Easy does it!

The hotter it is, the slower my body needs to go, and so the recent heatwave is a good chance to honour my body’s needs! My mind doesn’t always appreciate snail’s pace and yet when it relaxes into a more gentle rhythm it too is also soothed and appreciative! What is your body telling you at the moment?

Royally Slow

Slow down, yes you can time afford,

To rush achieves not much

Slow down, and you’ll attract towards

you, that’s the magic touch

Slow down, observe the rising sun

that glares between the clouds

The truth is; it’s already done

Just needs to be allowed

Slow down, when you have things to do

Slow down. when you feel pressed

Take time to see what’s passing through

Awareness knows what’s best

Bring your whole heart and soul on board

You must not do a thing

Slow down, yes you can time afford,

For slowness is the King

Published by Sam Allen Creative Coach

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
