I help brilliant people doing things that matter,
make their impact in the world
Ready?
My name is Sam Lizars. I’m a leadership coach and an expert in presence and powerful, personal communication.
I’ve worked with the leaders of the world’s biggest brands, superstar social entrepreneurs and the founders of small businesses that are changing the world. And here’s what I know… wherever they are in their careers and their lives, even the most brilliant people sell themselves persuasive stories about the limits of their own potential.
But they really are just stories. When you have space and time for conversations full of powerful questions and different perspectives (what one of my clients refers to as ‘The Sam Lens’), limits begin to fall away. New insight creates new possibility - you feel something shift… and everything changes.
My clients trust me:
to be…
the person who will say the unsaid
to see…
what’s possible
to know…
how to make an impact
NOT to…
buy into bullshit.
Your story
What everyone knows…
You’re pretty freaking impressive! You have your own way of being brilliant and you feel driven to use it to have a greater impact in the world, in whatever way matters to you. People look to you as a leader - title or not.
What they don’t…
You’re normal and your life can be complex. Sometimes you screw up. Sometimes you feel like you’re faking it or lose your sense of direction. Leadership can be a lonely place; real partnership is scarce and knowing your own potential can be a pressure.
This chapter…
You’ve worked hard and you care about how you show up in the world. Above and beyond is well known territory for you! You’re dedicated, passionate, skilful and when you’re in flow, there’s a joyful glint in your eye that says, ‘just try and stop me’.
Next chapter…
But you know there’s more. More fulfilment. More fun. More potential. A clearer, louder voice. A level of leadership that is both daunting and exciting. And you know that to move from where you are, to where you want to be you have to shift into a new gear.
If this resonates, and you’re ready for the next chapter, let’s talk and see what it would look like to work together.
Working with you
“Regardless, we move”. An incredible social entrepreneur based in Uganda said this to me once, as we pivoted her focus away from a fear of failure, and towards a recognition of her own power. This phrase was the key to unlocking something she knew about herself but had forgotten - the power of her unstoppable, undeniable grit and determination.
When we coach, we move - the direction is up to you…
-
Would you like to be able to deliver presentations so powerfully, that when you speak, it inspires and changes people? To be able to shift the energy in a room from stagnant to sparkling?
This blend of coaching and training is for you if you want the confident personal presence that draws people towards you and connects you with them. This will amplify your voice, make nerves irrelevant, power up your confidence and transform your impact.
-
Want to change the status quo?
This deep coaching programme is for you if you are ready to invest in yourself, and expand into the space only you can fill. When you commit to this, things become possible that simply weren’t before. Doors open, goals are suddenly in the rear view mirror, your ability to have an impact in the world is multiplied.

For extraordinary leaders who are changing the world for the better.
This is what you need, when you need it - sometimes deep coaching, sometimes insight into a problem that needs solving, sometimes messaging for your next keynote. Every time we talk you’ll experience a shift in your thinking.
This is for you if you know that the time and space to spark ideas and challenge your thinking is gold-dust; and that someone who sees both your power and your normal human foibles and will tell you the truth about both, is rare.We mostly work 1:1 but where it’s useful to bring others to the conversation, or run a session with your team, that’s what we do.
You’ll have access to all my tools and resources, recordings and transcription of our calls and a dedicated number for quick Q&A.
This is a year-long commitment. Two slots are available each year by application only. The next available slot opens in October 2022. If you’d like to apply email hello@samlizars.com
Working with your team
Something magic happens working with teams and groups. Wisdom exists, is shared and grown from. Common language is developed to reference shared experiences and new ways of working. Sometimes the most profound shifts happen not one on one, but as part of a group.

To impress in C-level meetings you need more than an eye for detail and a solid presentation. You need that seemingly ethereal quality often referred to as presence or gravitas. This workshop unpicks that quality and provides a methodology and ideas that you can put into action straight away, to feel confident, credible and impressive when you present.
Half day workshop - £350 per head

Almost everyone gets nervous about presenting to some extent - we experience it in different ways and at different times. This interactive session provides an insight into how nerves/excitement affects us personally, and offers a multi-layered practical approach to finding the solution that works specifically for you. We cover:
Matter and Mind - Understanding the link between the body and the brain and how each can influence the other to feel calm or stressed - and how to ‘hack’ into that to get the results you want
Planning and preparation - How to set yourself up for success, facilitate focus and mitigate risk
Mindsetting: The key to moving from good to great. How to change your mindset, your experience and your performance
-
A bespoke combination of deep coaching and training can answer the unique development needs of your team members. We focus on what they as an individual need to grow in stature and presence, empathy and range.
