Sama is right for you if you are looking to improve your level of contentment at work. Since work is where we spend most of our awake time, how we are at work impacts other areas of our life as well.
Sama believes that with the right tools and mindset, work should be fulfilling. This is what professional coaching is about.
Coaching will empower you and give you the tools to achieve your goals. Your coach is there to guide you in finding the right answer within yourself, rather than giving you ready- made solutions.
Our coaches are not mentors, therapists or trainers.
A coach will ask you the right questions to guide you and find within yourself the ways to meet your goals. Your coach will hold you accountable. Coaching is a process. Your coach will not tell you what to do, but will help you find the best solution for you, from within yourself, to unlock your potential.
A mentor is typically someone senior and in the same industry who gives you advice based on their specific experience.
No. But you need to be coachable. This means that you have to be open and in a mindset of self-exploration and growth. If you do not want to be responsible for your actions and change, coaching is not for you.
Sama coaches are accredited coaches, have been identified by Sama as having superior credentials from their coach training and accreditation and professional experience.

All Sama coaches go through a thorough interview and vetting process. As part of the interview process, each coach will have demonstrated their coaching skills through a live session with our screening team. We verify coaches’ accreditations and perform background and reference checks.
