Meet Neil Samuels
A respected coach, mentor, and innovative thinker, Neil has successfully worked with leaders at all levels for over 22 years. He has demonstrated value in helping senior leaders develop themselves, their teams, and their organizations as they navigate through complex, large-scale change.
His consulting and leadership development experience spans six continents and a wide range of businesses and sectors – from Architecture, R&D and Cruise Lines, to Offshore Oil Production, Government, Education, and Financial Investing. He has also held senior Organizational Development positions in BP (British Petroleum).
While completing an advanced degree in Organizational Development from Pepperdine University, he developed deeper skills in Appreciative Inquiry (AI). This included training with AI’s originator David Cooperrider, and extensive training from Bernard Mohr and Jane Watkins, with whom he then partnered in projects within BP. He is a member of Appreciative Inquiry Consulting and an adjunct faculty member at Pepperdine.
Building on this foundation of Appreciative Inquiry, Neil is most often called upon to engage and support senior leaders and their teams through transition. In fundamentally changing their conversations to bring about the lasting change they seek, he has enabled his clients to successfully transform not only their leadership but also their entire organizations.
