How Sama coaching works in investment firms Historically, programmatic, prescriptive coaching models were one-size-fits-all. Sama empowers business leaders and individuals to define what works for them. Coaching is tailored to your goals, your business, and your schedule; Sama coaching enhances performance, rather than disrupting it. Traditional coaching For the few Coaching is elitist, for the few Executives / “high potential” employees Coaches sourced by HR team Difficult to find & vet coaches Matching is subjective Time consuming and inefficient One-size-fits all program Set number of sessions, length, frequency One coaching area, set by employer Once matched, only one coach option Sama coaching For everyone Accessible for all levels Entry-level to CEO Pre-vetted pool of coaches & AI matching algorithm Optimises ‘fit’ between coach and coachee Eliminates human bias Huge time save for HR Start working with a coach right away Coaching tailored to individual and business needs On-demand access to your coach (video, call, chat) Coachee chooses focus, and can change at any time as needs evolve Unlimited change of coach The benefits of digital coaching Coaching adds immense value to businesses and the people within them – some easily measurable and some (like individual purpose and self-worth) less tangible. Regardless of your goals, virtual coaching is perfectly placed to help you – and your people – achieve them.
