WHO ARE YOUR COACHING SERVICES FOR?
Primarily, I work with 20 to 30 year-old young adults exploring their questions about what life has or has not taught them thus far. With 40 to 50 year-old adults who may be at a crossroad in their life, I help them to reflect on their lived experiences and their previous life choices while also helping them navigate through the uncertainty that may be their future.
HOW LONG DO COACHING SESSIONS LAST?
As long as the work and the sessions benefit both of us my sessions are as much about a partnership your goal is my goal. Thats my motto - - - you want to actually give a time frame per session.
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
Life coaching is a vehicle to get you to the place in your life that puts you in the best position to help you bring out the best in you. Services are intended to help you achieve the life that you deserve and to orient you to the principles to help maintain the positive perspective and the confidence to know that you are able and that you are enough. Simply put, life coaching helps you realize that what you need is within you. As a life coach, my job is to help you see and understand this true.
HOW IS LIFE COACHING DIFFERENT FROM THERAPY OR COUNSELING
Therapy is more about checking boxes. For example, if you’re dealing with this, this, and this then the best treatment is a cookie cutter option or program that worked on a group of people that had similar issues with. Life coaching is geared more toward what your life experiences have taught you and reimagining some situations that have come to shape your perspective, which in turn effected and influenced the choices you made and the perspective in which you chose to look at it. There is no pre-set program to place you in. In life coaching, clients are as different as DNA. None of us has the same DNA so the same thing that worked for people who checked similar boxes and their individuality doesn't carry the same value as it does with life coaching.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM LIFE COACHING SESSIONS?
​
It all depends on the individual and how honest and objective they can be. The basis for any successful session is the client’s willingness to be open and honest. You will get out of it what you put into it and results are dependent upon how honest and how open you are about obstacles in your life. Your ability to accept constructive criticism without taking it personally is something you should consider when considering a life coach.
Here you should actually talk about techniques, skills, activities, and exercises you may use to help the client. They are typically trying to get an idea of what will happen during each session.
WHAT AREAS OR ISSUES DOES COACH SAM SPECIALIZE IN ?
​
I work with clients on life choices that they’ve made in the past and help them to view how those choices have shaped their quality of life. My coaching strategy gives them skills and principles to put into place so they can make better choices going forward and lessen the burden of mistakes made in the past so that the future that they seek or the goals that they have are obtainable. My motto is “BETTER IS ALWAYS EVOLVING."
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS OR CREDENTIALS DO YOU HAVE AS A LIFE COACH?
​
I have gained a wealth of experience in counseling from my 20 years as a youth basketball coach and a youth counselor with the Y Achievers Program. Through this program I have helped young people make better decisions about friendship, decision making, and earning respect. In 2008 I founded a nonprofit organization, Dream Out Loud 2000, whose mission is to teach children their value. I have served on advisory boards and leadership teams within my work environment at Masonite and Safelite which have taught me valuable lessons on how to motivate and empower others to work towards goals. As the father of a nonverbal autistic adult son, I have also learned the art of patience, perseverance, and innovation in helping others with various challenges to be able to thrive. In 2023 I received my life coaching certification from Expert Ratinin. With my priceless life experiences and educational pursuits, I’m confident in my ability to serve and help others.
HOW CONFIDENTIAL ARE LIFE COACHING SESSIONS ?
​
Confidentiality is one of my core beliefs and is part of the platform that I stand on. It is part of what my brand is built on. My clients have my trust and I want them to be and feel confident knowing that I follow closely and model this aspect of my business just as a lawyer does with their attorney/client privilege. I consider this vital to my practice and business as well. YOUR SECRETS ARE SAFE WITH ME.
This doesn’t answer the question. Specifically, HOW do you maintain confidentiality?

WHAT IS YOUR COACHING PHILOSOPHY?
​
My philosophy is getting the best out of you will take getting to the best that is within you. By doing this, clients are able to see what is best for them and come to believe that they deserve the best that life has to offer. Additionally, with this perspective clients come to realize that what is within them is enough… God gave us all enough. He gave us all two things: a gift and destiny. Our gifts are given to us to enhance how we serve God and how we serve others. My philosophy entails using my God-given ability to serve and help thereby modeling for clients the benefits and importance of utilizing their inherit gifts as well.
CAN I COMBINE LIFE COACHING WITH OTHER TYPES OF SUPPORT OR THERAPY?
​
It really depends on the person, where they are, and how effective their sessions are going. Neither life coaching nor therapy should get in the way of the other. In fact, with either service, some clients may feel they need a little more assistance and/or a different perspective along their journey.
