I want to be better prepared, more confident, more impactful, and less stressed out about public speaking.”
Work with Bridget or one of our other expert coaches to become a more confident, eloquent, dynamic, influential, and polished speaker. Bridget is a retired university speech professor, a TEDx speaker, and TEDx speaker coach.
“Bridget is an amazing speaker, coach and educator. I had the honor of having her coach me for my first TEDx talk and it was a success, largely due to her guidance. Her joyful spirit makes it easy to digest her wisdom and constructive feedback. If you are looking to improve your speaking skills, you should certainly have Bridget on your team. As a person who has a speech impediment, I knew I needed to work with the best. Bridget was the best and I am forever grateful for her diligence.”

Our team members sometimes clash because of different values and working styles.”
Bring us in for a lively, eye-opening True Colors workshop. Your team will become more cohesive, collaborative, and productive. Knowing everyone’s True Colors© personality types prevents conflict and increases synergy, innovation, rapport, and belonging. This fun, enlightening tool is a great way to open up a rich conversation about how to better leverage every team member’s unique strengths.
“Bridget generously dedicated 2 days to conducting strategic planning and a team building session using True Colors for our staff. Our team of 40 well-educated, highly motivated people would rather be on task instead of attending another meeting. However, Bridget captured their attention with True Colors. It was a surprisingly effective way to help us learn more about each other. We expect the positive effects of True Colors to benefit the organization for some time to come.”

We used her to run a team-wide offsite designed to improve collaboration, communication and the general effectiveness of our group. She did an incredible job and the offsite was a huge success. I found Bridget very easy to work with, extremely professional, and tremendously knowledgeable and experienced in her areas of expertise. She’s smart, confident, communicates and presents incredibly well, and a joy to work with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

Professional Communication Coaching
“My company brought Bridget on as a coach to help me work with others, both clients and co-workers, more efficiently and effectively. It was ‘pitched’ to me as what felt like a punishment, so I wasn’t really looking forward to it. After our first meeting, I was hooked! I often find worksheets and online quizzes to be a miss with me. The information isn’t relevant, and it doesn’t seem to stick. What Bridget brought to me was particular to me and it all helped immensely. Learning about yourself at that deep of a level can be scary. Nobody wants to hear where they fall short. Bridget’s honesty and knowledge of each and every situation helped me to rise above, own my negatives, and begin a new way of working. I will never go back to my old ways. I cannot thank her enough for her patience and dedication to bettering me as a leader and an employee.”

Training Design & Facilitation for Managers
“Bridget Sampson and Todd Parker have played a critical role in working with our team members transitioning from front line roles to supervisor staff. Year after year they have provided informative, fun, and relevant curriculum that serves as the foundation of our management training program.

We love working with Sampson Coaching and Consulting.”

Leadership Coaching, Life Coaching, and Team Building
“Bridget and I have been working together over the past 5 years, in both a team and individual setting. Bridget has helped me through some specific and particularly challenging situations in my work and personal life, but more importantly, she provided me with a number of tools and techniques that I find myself applying everyday. In this sense, she has enabled me to better help myself as challenges arise. Our work around Growth Mindset, correcting negative thoughts, and self-coaching continue to be invaluable to my day-to-day life.
Bridget is a uniquely empathetic individual, but also honest and direct. She has a kind and gentle way of guiding people towards hard truths that are sometimes difficult to see, much less face. I am very grateful for our work together, and highly recommend Bridget to anyone looking for coaching in both team and individual settings.”
