Tech Talent Live Programme

We are finalising the programme and more information will be posted here soon.

Overview

If you're a solo entrepreneur in the tech world, chances are you're:

• Wearing every hat – from developer to marketer to CEO

• Battling self-doubt, decision fatigue or imposter syndrome

• Struggling to scale without burning out

• Knowing your tech, but questioning your strategy

• Ready to grow – but unclear what’s holding you back

This 75minute session is an opportunity to experience: 

• Real-time coaching tools to surface and reframe limiting beliefs

• Peer connections with like-minded tech founders

• A space to step back and think bigger - not just do more

• Concrete actions to help you shift from stuck to strategic

You’ll Leave With:

• A refreshed mindset that fuels growth

• One strategic action you’re excited to implement

• A reframed belief that stops playing small

• Tools to keep your mindset aligned as your business scales

The session will be led by Sam Patterson: Leadership coach, facilitator and trainer supporting startup and scale up businesses to realise their dreams. 

At the heart of this work is you – the one with the idea, who’s already bringing it to life and has the courage to keep growing, changing and pushing comfortable.  

This is easier to do with help. 

 

You bring:

🔹 Deep expertise in you, your ambitions and your business. 

🔹 A drive to make things better.

🔹 A commitment to meaningful change.

 

I bring:

🔸 Specialist expertise in partnering with people to drive positive change.

🔸 A creative yet challenging perspective that pushes boundaries.

🔸 An unwavering belief in your ability to succeed.

 

“I had the privilege of being part of Sam’s Aspiring Leaders course, and I can confidently say it was instrumental in my professional development. Before this, I had never experienced coaching, but thanks to Sam’s guidance, I can’t imagine a future without it.

Her ability to create a safe, inspiring, and thought-provoking space for growth is truly exceptional. She doesn’t just teach leadership, she empowers you to see your own potential and take action with confidence. Her insights, support, and practical approach have had a lasting impact on both my mindset and my career.

If you have the opportunity to work with Sam, take it, you won’t regret it! 🚀”
