I'm Sam and I work with high performing teams and their leaders to embed a deeper understanding of Flow and Optimum Performance within their organisations.
Born from the world of elite sport, I bring a fresh and engaging approach to executive coaching. Author of Leadership and Management Programmes; my expertise is embedded in meaningful ways for businesses.
Understanding the essential nature of flow is critical in sustaining consistent and accomplished performances for teams and individuals. At the heart of my services is developing a critical awareness of how flow is not a state of mind we generate through effort, but is essential to who we truly are.
“Flow is characterised by low levels of self-referential thinking, worries, and self-consciousness”

Why?Knowing the essential and ever-present nature of flow invites clarity and wellbeing into all of our performances.
We make skilful decisions when we are in flow.
All the qualities we want in our workplace cultures are a by-product of being in Flow.
Not needing to intervene with endless models and positive psychology techniques creates space and stability in the workplace. Phew!
Simplifying workplace performance and psychology frees up our internal resources to focus on business performance.
What is flow?Flow is a phenomenon we all appreciate and value in all areas of life.
When we experience flow; mastery, intuition, and happiness are at the heart of what we do.
However flow is typically misunderstood. The mainstream voice and approach on flow is that it's a state of mind accessed through the correct strategies and mindsets.
There's always a new positive psychology book on the market promising more confidence, motivation and success.
Perhaps it's time to realise that sustainable flow and happiness is not found in a specific mindset or strategy?
