TESTIMONIALS
Johna Hoey,
Peace is Loud
I've had the pleasure to work with Samantha over the past seven years. Not only has she been a constant source of unwavering support through many organizational transitions -- always responsive, detail-oriented and ensuring all decisions were carefully and intentionally thought through and answered -- but she has always done so with a people-first approach. In addition to her firm grasp on all things financial, from bookkeeping to CFO-level analysis and support, she is an expert communicator, always taking the extra step to explain numbers to those of us that are not as numbers oriented, and always does so with a laugh. I cannot recommend this human more!"

Sam quickly becomes an indispensable member of the team, bringing her vision and unique skillset to take on even the most daunting of challenges. A rare blend of financial savvy, writing and creative design skills, Sam has a keen eye for detail and consistently goes above and beyond to bring a diverse array of projects to life. Sam is warm, supportive and encouraging, a joy to work with!

The Finger Lakes Re-Entry Summit was the best summit I've ever attended. The breakout sessions were energizing, allowing people from across organizations to meet, connect, and brainstorm together. The presentations from experts in various fields were so informative and inspriring. The morning ice breakers were fun, and made for easy conversations as the day went on. The pacing of presenters and breakout sessions were well-planned, keeping the audience engaged throughout. I look forward to attending the next one!

Sam is awesome! Alone, she is already an inspiration with all she accomplishes. Together, she is a smart, detail-oriented ally whose enthusiasm is infectious. With Sam's guidance and support, I was able to take some of the most crucial actions I needed at the end of a long process of launching my high-impact business and self-mastery program for actors. For anyone who is looking for a coach and artist who walks her talk, I highly recommend Sam. She helped me break down my goals into smaller, accomplishable steps and it helped me accomplish more, more quickly. Further, I've seen her continue to make a name for herself by contributing value to some of our accomplished and no-nonsense peers.

I owe Sam a big thanks. She helped me to stay motivated when I was feeling lost, helped me realize my strengths and ambitions, and mostly allowed me to redirect my angst into the positive avenues where that energy was needed. She is always positive and realistic, never pushy, and ultimately supportive of your needs.
Sam has a wonderful ability to ask the right questions and have you evaluate your goals.
Without her, my job hunt would have been a dismal half hearted attempt at hiding my inexperience. Checking in with her every week had me out the door to explore new opportunities, make connections, and mostly let me realize that I can achieve the goals that I set. Thank you.

Choosing to work with Sam Garland as a coach is one of the best decisions I've made as a freelancer and filmmaker. Since engaging Sam, I'm more in the flow of achieving my goals. On a daily basis, my work is more organized, which allows me to feel less overwhelmed; my focus and concentration are sharper, my desk less cluttered; I instituted daily health and exercise practices; a daily writing practice, and, with her guidance, I ran a successful outreach campaign for a film I produced, expanding my computer and social media skills along the way. And, from our first session onwards, Sam has taught me about budgeting for both time and money, which just allowed me to take a 10-day vacation, with ease and a sense of relaxation. Sam works quickly and wholeheartedly--adding her unique brand of fun, humor and wit--which has made our sessions not only productive but a sheer delight. I recommend Sam highly.
