Sam Wigan is an executive life coach, facilitator, and educational programme designer with a 20 year history working in self awareness and personal development.
In 1997 he started out as an assistant for Insight Seminars and went on to become City Director in London, running self awareness seminars, small group trainings and also coaching individuals.
He did all of this whilst building a prolific career as a sculptor, selling internationally and being commissioned by top UK art collectors.
When children arrived Sam chose to be ‘stay at home dad’ for the early years, giving him a profound insight into the challenges of juggling children and career.
During this time he also co-founded The Young Masters Initiative, a transformational education charity run at Saatchi Gallery which helped teens utilise their creativity to achieve life goals.
For the past 5 years Sam has been a full time executive life coach, specialising in assisting women executives and entrepreneurs.
His area of expertise is helping people to identify what they want, increasing confidence, expanding possibility, resolving barriers to accomplishment, and bringing ease to the process.
He has an ability to quickly identify core patterns and help shift focus into what works. His approach is compassionate, practical and open-hearted.
More recently, Sam was invited to join Arianna Huffinton’s team at Thrive Global as a training facilitator, helping organisations enhance performance and productivity by focussing on whole person well being.
