What is leadership coaching?

Leadership coaching is a one-on-one development relationship between a leader and a trained coach. Together they work on the real challenges the leader faces: leading through change, building a team, making harder decisions, and growing into a bigger role.

Unlike a training course, coaching is built around the individual. The leader sets the goals, then puts what they learn into practice between sessions, in their actual work.

World-class coaches, matched to each leader

Only 2.5% of credentialed coaches are accepted into the Sama ecosystem.

The Sama Assessment Process is extremely stringent, and coaches' impact and engagement are monitored. Matching is based on Sama's proprietary AI algorithm, with a 95% success rate on chemistry fit from the first session.

Coaching is online, so each leader can work with the best coach for them, wherever they are. Matching takes location and language into account.

Leadership coaching or leadership training?

Both have a place, so start with what your leaders need.

If many people need the same knowledge at the same time, a training course may be enough.

If a leader needs to change how they act in their own role, with their own team, look at coaching: it's built around that leader and tied to their goals.

You don't have to choose one. Training can build shared foundations, and coaching can help each leader turn them into habits.

How Sama measures impact

Leadership development only matters if it changes results. Sama's platform tracks goals, engagement and progress, and gives HR teams a dashboard to see impact across the organization.
