Executive and Organisational Coaching
At SJA Associates, we work systemically with individuals and organisations to realise their potential.
Sam Jukes-Adams
Sam is founder of SJA Associates. She is a Tavistock Consulting trained, senior practitioner accredited Coach (EMCC) and Hogan Level 1 certified. She works with individuals and organisations to understand and address the underlying, systemic dynamics that influence effectiveness.
She has experience working one to one and in group settings across diverse sectors and levels of seniority - from the founders of Tech start ups to senior leaders in industry. She regularly collaborates with a network of coaches and works as an associate with other coaching bodies.
She draws on twenty years' experience in broadcasting and television production, including in senior executive roles, to support leaders, managers and their teams during periods of organisational growth and change.
Sam has always been a passionate advocate for the development of talent and teams. She is a mentor on the Women In Film and TV annual mentoring programme and a visiting Lecturer at MetFilm London on the Producer’s MA . Sam also served as Chair of the High End TV Levy Council and on the board of Creative Skillset (now Screen Skills) from 2016-18. She is currently a governor at a North London independent school.
Sam is a no-nonsense, high impact executive coach. She was able to articulate challenges I was having in a way that I had not previously considered. As a consequence I was able to map out a plan of action that led me to a more fruitful and satisfying professional life.

Sam's warm and thoughtful approach to breaking down challenges makes every barrier seem surmountable. She's forensic in helping me think through strategy and planning but also brings a real understanding of the kind of person I am and the kind of collaborative leader I want to be. She's incredibly experienced, well-informed and in touch with the human side of managing change and building best practice. I find our conversations invaluable.

“Sam is highly professional, very perceptive and a very active listener with attention to detail. She enabled me to make connections between past personal and family experiences and my current workplace patterns, emotions and tendencies that I had never thought about before. That process has allowed me to deconstruct some of my own behaviors I didn’t know I had. She has helped me think more clearly about career and the future....my strengths and weaknesses in the work environment..and enable me to see where and how I can build on strengths. I would highly recommend her to others. ”

“My mentor sessions with Sam were well structured, thought provoking and insightful. Her business experience coupled with her mentoring expertise are a powerful combination. I left each session with an action plan that helped me find clarity re: the direction I want my career to develop in. I feel focussed, energised and really excited about the future.”

‘Sam has a way of opening your eyes to things that are staring at you in the face! A frankness that was really needed in my case as I found it near impossible to set boundaries and had real difficulty with my work/ life balance. I’ve subsequently started a new role and have Sam’s valued clear and constructive advice in the back of my head, leading to the realisation that there is indeed always a different way.’
