Ways to Work Together
-
Start with:
A powerful private session
Real-time guidance in your pocket for a full week
This is ideal for the person who wants to shake up their whole approach to public speaking and fall in love with any presentation they’ve got coming up. A lot can happen in a week.
One-on-one support is whole-hearted and holistic so nothing’s off the table and transformation happens fast and feels like power.
Continue with:
3 months of flexible work sessions to match your life
Powerful, timely editorial and creative allyship
A real-time sounding board for the big stuff and the small
This is perfect for the person who wants to wow with an upcoming speech (TEDx, high-stakes pitch, series of media interviews), and knows they need deft and dynamic support to develop, write, rehearse, and deliver with their heart and soul.
-
It’s a business gamechanger and a profound act of self-care to receive deep, strategic support from an outsider who’s on your side.
This is the opposite of “count your ums” and traditional public speaking or executive presence coaches who get in your head and smash your spirit. This is finally having the strategic partner who gets you and can help you translate your brilliance to any stage.
Start with:
3 months of flexible work sessions to match your life
Powerful, timely editorial and creative allyship
A real-time sounding board for the big stuff and the small
This is ideal for the person who wants to focus on a crucial presentation or big project coming up, and knock it out of the park.
Continue with:
12 months of flexible work sessions to match your life
Powerful, timely editorial and creative allyship
A real-time sounding board for the big stuff and the small
Perfect for the person who’s partnered with me for a season and wants ongoing support on all material and messaging, spirit and speaking.
One-on-one support is whole-hearted and holistic so nothing’s off the table: energy-draining office politics, cultural or language barriers, what’s going on at home or in the world. It’s affecting how you show up and speak—and you don’t need to face it alone. I only work with a few clients at a time, so I can offer you the support you truly need.
*Can work in conjunction with comms teams or independently.

“Working with Samara was a total gamechanger as I began pitching my product to high profile retailers. I went to one of the best business schools in the country. But you know what they don’t teach? How to show up in a pitch meeting with a story that reveals your heart. Or how to own your voice. Or how to speak so investors lean in. Samara’s coaching was an essential piece of my company’s success story.”
– Hannah Diop, Co-Founder, with Issa Rae, Sienna Naturals

"You are truly a magical instructor and facilitator. You stretched us in the most productive ways. When the work felt a little too difficult, you would hold up a mirror for us to be able to see ourselves—reminding us of things we had said or written, as a way to stoke the little fire burning inside our bellies. I love the work you are doing. And I love that I get to continue to float around in this shared, sacred, solar system with you."
– Alina Caceres, Healthcare Leader

“Samara is a true visionary. I worked closely with Samara to develop young women leaders running for office. Using the lens of public speaking and the value of our voice, she brought her own unique experience to lift up women from all backgrounds and help them with the tangible tools and radical vision to reimagine each woman’s unique ability to make change. Samara is not only brilliant. She is generous, dynamic, and magnetic. When she speaks, she is mesmerizing.”
– Sarah Jakle, Founder, DemocraShe

"Samara's energy and singular approach unlocked a hidden part of me that was aching to be exposed and seen. Her fresh perspective, filled with empathy, wit and wisdom, offered me a trusting hand, or more of an extension to it: a bungee cord safe enough for me to go out, challenge myself, and jump!"

“Samara taught me how to use my own voice— a voice that I’ve been unable to access on command for my entire life. I finished our time together with a stump speech that I was ready to deliver and have fun with. Samara blew my mind, and the best part, honestly, is that it WORKED.”
– C.B., running for US. Congress

“Wow wow. I’ve hired copywriters and coaches but no one’s been able to listen to the random plot of my life and turn it into a STORY I can tell—about my values and my why. And Samara did it LIKE THAT. It was utterly mind-blowing and left me feeling not just better equipped to go into pitch meetings and podcast interviews, but also better seen.”
