Advanced Coaching Skills: Gestalt Embodiment – Foundation Programme

What an incredible experiential workshop! It fostered deep learning in a safe space, filled with intimate moments of witnessing lives transform and gaining a deeper understanding of myself.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience this coaching approach, which emphasizes you—the coach—bringing your intuitive and emotional responses to what is unfolding in the moment. The result? A more effective practice with less effort.

Over the past few months, I and Soo Yee had the privilege of partnering with the Babes team through a series of team coaching sessions as they reflected on their purpose, and aligned around their next chapter.

I’m grateful to have the opportunity to walk alongside this remarkable team and excited to see how they’ll continue shaping a more compassionate, informed future for the youth and the communities they serve.

I want to express my deep gratitude for the exceptional coaching experience Sam has provided me. His dedication to my growth has been evident in every session, and I truly appreciate the effort he's invested in guiding me towards my aspirations.

Sam's ability to tailor his coaching techniques to my needs and learning style has been remarkable. From active listening to powerful questioning, his expertise has instilled confidence in me to overcome challenges. Additionally, the insightful use of assessments and visual models added valuable depth to our discussions. Our conversations have always been clear, relevant, and focused on topics pertinent to my development, thanks to Sam's skilful guidance. His clarity in communication has enabled me to make meaningful breakthroughs around what sparks joy for me and standing true to my values.

As I reflect on our journey together, I see an opportunity for additional support in fostering accountability. Implementing regular check-ins or self-fill-in trackers could help me stay on track with the goals we've set, ensuring steady progress and growth.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the coaching experience Sam has provided. His professionalism, empathy, and dedication have made a significant impact on both my personal and professional life.

“Samuel was my leadership coach for six months during 2024.

He invested his broad coaching expertise into our fortnightly discussions, guiding me through a range of different leadership development areas which I had identified at the start of my coaching journey.

Samuel’s empathetic approach, ability to listen to understand instead of listening to respond, combined with extensive lived experience of organisational behaviours drove my learning of new leadership concepts which I was able to apply to my daily interactions with my direct reports and senior management.

Being coached by Samuel has been an impactful experience for me, challenging my current assumptions of how I lead my team and opening up my leadership aperture to experiment with unfamiliar new conversational models and engagement practices.

Overall, I highly recommend Samuel as a leadership coach to any current or aspiring leader, from any industry, who is serious about growing their leadership capabilities and accelerating their progression to become a better leader.”

Working with Samuel Yeo has been a transformative experience.

His personalised coaching on assertiveness and effective leadership for me was not just about techniques, but about a deep holistic mindset shift that has made a lasting impact on my leadership style.

What truly set him apart was his authenticity—he shared his own experiences, which made the coaching sessions relatable, encouraging and actionable. He guided me with right books and materials and fine-tuned my progress based on how I applied the learnings. I've noticed a significant positive change in how I conduct myself as a leader and my overall perception of people.

Thank you Samuel, to have helped me unlock a new level of confidence and effectiveness as a leader.

“I cannot thank you enough for investing your time, energy, and expertise into helping me become the best version of myself. The lessons I have learned from our sessions will undoubtedly continue to benefit me in both my personal and professional endeavors.

Please know that your impact goes far beyond just the coaching sessions; it extends into all aspects of my life. The knowledge I gained from working with you will forever shape how I approach challenges, set goals, and strive for continuous improvement.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being an exceptional coach who has made a lasting difference in my life. I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me. “

Finding Coach Samuel has been my life-changing experience. For once, I find a guide who truly listens to my needs and aspirations.

Samuel emphasizes and has a knack of always circling our interactions back to pre-agreed coaching priorities and key take-away. As I shared in the end of this coaching journey, it was really trust earned by him rather than trust given to him.

I plan to consult Samuel in periodic catch-up sessions in future.
