Meet your coach

Real-world experience.
Practical perspective.

Sam’s background spans strategy, consulting and analytics, including senior roles at Uber Eats and Treasury Wine Estates, and experience at Coles and Grant Thornton.

His coaching connects the tools with the business question: what does the analysis mean, how do you explain it, and what should happen next? That same practical lens helps you communicate your experience in applications and interviews.

A few useful
answers.

Who is this for?

Early and mid-career professionals who want support with a job search or stronger data skills at work. Sam’s experience is especially relevant to business, operations, finance, strategy and analytics roles.

Do you rewrite my whole CV or application?

Application coaching is collaborative. In a Focused Coaching session, we can improve a selected section or answer together for a target role. Full CV, LinkedIn and cover-letter rewrites are outside this offer.

What level do I need for a Skills Sprint?

You should have the basics needed for your chosen task. We’ll check your starting point, software access and goal before booking. Four sessions focus on one tool and one task; the listed topics are options, not a complete course syllabus.

Can we use a challenge from my work?

Yes. We can practise the same type of problem using a sample dataset. Please don’t submit confidential employer or customer data. Coaching focuses on your learning; production dashboard builds and data implementation need a separate consulting scope.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. The A$795 Skills Sprint can be paid for by you or your employer. The A$1,150 employer-sponsored option adds a manager alignment call and a short progress summary, with the information to be shared agreed with you upfront.

Is there a free introductory call?

A free 15-minute fit call is available for Skills Sprints and employer sponsorship. For Focused Coaching and Interview Intensives, share your goal in the enquiry and we’ll confirm suitability and availability.

Can Focused Coaching count towards a Skills Sprint?

If we agree it fits the sprint’s learning goal, your session can become the first of the four sessions. The A$250 already paid is credited towards the package total, leaving three sessions to complete.

What outcome can I expect?

A defined focus, practical feedback and clear next steps. Interview coaching helps you prepare; hiring decisions remain with employers. Skills coaching helps you build capability, with independent practice needed between sessions.
