Sam Holman

Be inspired and motivated for focus, clarity & confidence in the classroom and for life!

Sam is an award-winning career coach and published author, giving new perspectives through inspiring talks and workshops, teaching young people to unlearn what may hold them back and to identify and go for what they really want, with complete clarity and confidence.

As a qualified careers adviser, she originally worked with young people in schools before living in New Zealand and becoming a teacher to adults. She then added unique solution-focused coaching therapy qualifications to her belt when she noticed similar confidence issues and patterns of behaviour in both young people and adults that seemed to repeatedly stop them from getting what they truly wanted in life.

She is passionate about breaking the cycle of belief learnt at a young age, that we take with us into adulthood and can then unconsciously hand down to the next generation, and she is an inspirational speaker and writer on the subject – publishing her book and unique career guide ‘When I Grow Up I Want to be a Giraffe’ in 2020, and winning an award for Best Practice Career Coach for her dedication to the careers sector with the Career Development Institute in 2022.

She currently divides her time between working in schools with young people, delivering inspirational and motivational assemblies around careers, resilience, motivating and improving confidence, and delivering tailored talks and workshops to professionals and parents who are holding themselves back from reaching their full potential.

Her talks have been described as inspiring, motivating and thought-provoking and can be both interactive and fun, informative and engaging - leaving students (and teachers) feeling motivated to be able to achieve anything.

Testimonials from Teachers

"Finding good speakers to come and deliver talks to our networking groups is a challenge, and we were delighted when Sam Holman agreed to come and do a talk with our Bristol group recently. Sam is very engaging as a speaker, and has the ability to connect with her audience whereby they are intently listening and absorbing her message. Her signature talk, 'Breakthrough to your Brave' is inspiring, motivating, and thought provoking. We are looking forward to seeing more of Sam during 2014 at Women Mean Biz as a speaker and running one of our workshops."

– Philippa Constable, Women’s Networking Group

“Sam’s talks to Year 10 and 11 students have been engaging and informative. As a speaker Sam is both authoritative and warm, connecting well with her audience. The young people she works with have been made to feel valued and supported as individuals at the most challenging time in their school life.”

– Peter Gould, Deputy Head, Orchard School​

"Sam's passion to support young people and raise their aspirations was second to none."

– Donna Smith, Rebuild Support
