FOr schools
I’ve created 2 school immersion programs to inspire and empower students, teachers and parents. They are delivered through highly engaging talks to all year levels, a professional development session for teachers and a presentation evening for parents. These programs take an immersive approach so that everyone is on the same page and given the skills they need to help young people thrive.
Be your own best friend program
This program teaches students the 10 components of self-love, and why improving the relationship they have with themselves is the most important thing they could do for their life. The way a person thinks and feels about themselves has an impact on every decision they make and every action they take, which therefore shapes the course of their life.
Overcoming obstacles to success program
This program teaches students the skills they need to achieve their goals and overcome the 5 biggest obstacles that get in the way.
for corporates
All of my talks and workshops are designed to improve employee wellbeing and engagement. Thankfully, wellbeing and engagement are inextricably linked and there’s now a growing body of evidence to support the fact that improved wellbeing and engagement is undeniably linked to business success and positive outcomes.
the research is clear.
Improving employee wellbeing and engagement leads to:
Increased profitability - according to findings by Gallup, highly engaged teams are 21% more profitable.
Reduced turnover - highly engaged teams experience 59% less turnover and 41% less absenteeism.
Increased productivity - highly engaged teams show a 17% increase in productivity.
Increased employee satisfaction - according to a report by the American Psychological Association, 89% of employees at companies that support wellbeing initiatives are more likely to recommend their company as a good place to work.
Increased motivation - 91% of employees who work for companies that support wellbeing initiatives report feeling motivated to do their best.
Reduced stress - according to a CareerBuilder survey, 61% of employees are burned out on the job and so wellbeing programs to counteract stress are key to improving mental health, focus, performance and job satisfaction.
Whether it’s a Learn-at-Lunch, a keynote speech, a series of talks, a half-day or a full-day workshop, I can work with your organisation’s requirements to deliver an exceptional employee experience.
virtual workshops
I can deliver any of these talks and workshops virtually through Zoom or your organisation’s webinar platform. My background in television means that I’m completely comfortable presenting to a camera and engaging in a way that makes it feel like I’m in the room with the participants. I have been using Zoom in my business for the last 5 years, so I’m totally familiar with it’s functionality and can make the workshop as interactive as you like.
“Sam is very knowledgeable about her subject matter and this shows in her talks, which are presented with so much passion and energy, even remotely.”
