ABOUT SAM
Nice to meet you
Sam Heninger is an experienced coach and facilitator who loves to remove roadblocks in leaders' thoughts and behavior.
Appreciating individual differences led Sam to a lifelong study of psychology. Surprising patterns of beliefs and behaviors inform how we show up at work and in teams. He loves to turn awareness into positive change.
With a background in social work and research on healthy relationships, Sam knew he wanted to apply his coaching skills where they were needed most which led him to serving business leaders and their teams.
The oldest of his siblings and cousins, he always felt stuck between generations; finding more in common with his aunts and uncles than his younger family members.
He has also found himself as the youngest person in the room across his education and career. These experiences developed into opportunities to serve as a bridge of understanding for people of differing ages at work and in his community.
