I worked one on one with Sam in 2018 whilst trying to improve my chances for progression into a senior role within Centennial Coal, during the coaching I found Sam to be very professional and diligent. The experiences and management skills he shared allowed me the improve in the areas where I was deficient and this lead to me progressing into my new role late in 2018. I thoroughly recommend Sam to any potential clients whom are looking to improve their management skills.
Kyle Egan – Mine Manager at Centennial Coal
In recent times, Bishop Collins embarked on a journey of challenging the “way we do things around here”. We engaged Sam as part of this journey to provide support to the team as they reacted, responded and adjusted to change. Sam worked well with the team and leadership group – he is very strong at reframing belief systems and providing context in a non confrontational way. It was an absolute pleasure working with Sam and no doubt we will have an opportunity to work together again.

Sam has the ability to dissect the most complex problems and provide clarity and a path to follow. He shows that you have the answer to concerns inside you, he just draws them out in a logical framework – balancing the needs of the People and the Business Outcomes is a great skill Sam possesses. His skills with plans for Culture Change and Skill Enhancement really are valuable.

Sam assisted our business in the area of change management and strategy. Sam helped to mentor/coach the team one on one and also as a group. Personally, I found that Sam challenged me and my thoughts/beliefs, and helped me to grow and understand myself and others better. He shows a true passion for what he does and I would highly recommend him to any business or team leader as a coach or mentor for anyone who wants to be a better version of themselves. The investment in yourself and your team is well worth it.
