Sama coaches are briefed on your business challenges, and work to align your people’s goals with what matters most to the business. Their extensive experience – both professional and coaching – means they truly understand your business challenges and how to drive high performance in your teams.

Will this create a lot of work for HR to implement and manage?

Absolutely not. In fact, if you’re already running coaching or mentoring schemes, this will significantly reduce your workload. Implementation is as simple as downloading an app. Our AI matching solves for the overwhelming task of sourcing, vetting, and chemistry matching coaches at scale. All you need to do is decide who you’re giving access to and invite them to the platform in one simple click.

Is this AI coaching with bots rather than humans?

No. Sama coaching creates real, human relationships designed to effect real change for both people and businesses. We do use AI to match coaches with coachees, as this gives the most accurate, unbiased results and better chemistry.

What languages and geographies do you offer coaching in?

We offer coaching globally, and with coaches covering all time zones and major languages.

Have specific language requirements? Get in touch to discuss, as our pool of outstanding coaches is always growing.

I closely oversee all coaching. What happens to my visibility?

We know how important full oversight of all HR and L&D initiatives is to you, which is why our HR dashboard gives you all the insights you need to quickly and easily stay on top of your coaching program. We work with you to brief the coaches on your company, values, and context. You get more insights via the app than when working with individual coaches, and it’s all in easily digestible charts you can share with ease. 

Who should I give access to Sama coaching?

Sama is designed to be accessible for everyone, from entry-level to executives. What is right for your business is subjective and based on your individual challenges. We work with you to define the populations who will most benefit from coaching, and how we can partner to generate the biggest impact.

Do you have diverse coaches with broad representation?

Absolutely; diversity and inclusion are core to our values as a business. Sama coaches come from a variety of backgrounds, meaning there is always a strong fit for every individual coachee. There is diversity in gender, ethnicity, geography, and experience, and all Sama coaches must successfully complete our Diversity and Inclusion training before being added to the platform. The matching process gives coachees ownership, allowing control over preferences such as coach gender.

How quickly can my team start coaching?

They can get started right way. It’s as simple as downloading the app, matching with their coach and booking their first session. They can even speak to their coach the very same day!
