Coaching For Men | Sam Adams Reviews 

Sam joined us at the annual Mentell facilitator retreat in October. The retreat is an important part of the Mentell calendar. An opportunity for our facilitators to connect, reflect and learn. Sam was one of the lead trainers, delivering a series of workshops over the course of two days. It was an honour to have him join us, providing a warm and calming presence to the weekend. His workshops were of real value to our facilitators, both on a professional and personal level. Not only did they learn skills that will directly impact their effectiveness as facilitators but Sam's training provided an opportunity for introspection, to get to know and understand one's self on a much deeper level. We are grateful for Sam's time, care, and energy, ensuring it was a weekend full of rich learning. Mentell hopes this is just the start of our journey together, we would love to involve Sam more and benefit from his wisdom.

I first met Sam more than a year ago at Into the Wild festival where he was running a men's circle. It was my first experience of anything like that, and I was blown away. I began attending his free monthly online group sessions and then his paid Nature of Success course. Overall, I experienced a massive transformation because of the course. It got me thinking about things I'd never considered and dived deep into topics that I probably needed to years ago. I'm more confident as a man, but also more aware than ever about my weaknesses and how to work on them. But perhaps, I'm more sure than ever about what my version of success is and how to achieve it. Sam's fantastic. Kind, caring, and deep, but also not afraid to put it bluntly when you need to hear something. This was the kind of course that I would recommend to almost every man I know.

​Having previously completed Sam’s Way of the Wild program, which was an incredible experience in aligning with my life, nature and natural cycles, I went into the Nature of Success with high expectations. It completely exceeded them.

​This program is packed with practical wisdom, actionable systems, and real-time tools that create immediate daily impact while laying a clear foundation for long-term planning. One stand-out tool for me is the P.I.E.S. check-in system (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual). As someone prone to burning out by overworking or over-giving, these micro-check-ins act as a crucial daily intervention. They help me catch myself, put my own "oxygen mask" on first, and remain grounded at my center so I can show up effectively for others.

​Beyond the immediate day-to-day mindfulness, the course gave me a far stronger perspective on my identity, my mission and helped me build a clear 12-month plan. Achieving genuine work-life balance is tough, but this roadmap ensures I can progress professionally while protecting quality time with my family and maintaining deep connections with friends.

​Sam is an extraordinary educator. The evening workshops, high-caliber presentation materials, and the community of men from all walks of life made the environment powerful, supportive, and engaging. There is so much gold in every single lesson that I’m already excited to go back through the material.

​If you’re looking to step into your core identity, prevent burnout, find or define your purpose and build a meaningful, balanced life, I cannot recommend Sam and the Nature of Success program highly enough.

Amazing experience highly recommend for every man that needs to feel supported
Sam runs it very smooth and i felt safe and strong
definitely will do it again

I spent the day with Sam and a group of men, the day was grounded and peaceful, connecting back to ourselves and nature, it was exactly what I needed after a few busy weeks.
Sam’s presence is very safe and grounded, if you are feeling called to do inner work I’d highly recommend working with him.

Sunday 22nd March Equinox Men’s Gathering was the first of Sam’s events I’d attended, after a recommendation from my brother, who had been to a few before. I felt the call, and from the outset was welcomed warmly by Sam and a genuinely open-hearted group of men I’d be spending the day alongside.

Sam’s manner and conduct in facilitating both the day and the group was, in my eyes, exceptional. He brought a grounded depth of experience, wisdom, and a palpable sense of care to the structure of the day, which felt central to creating a strong container for the group and the experience as a whole. The way he held it all was artful, steady, and deeply intentional.

What Sam brings to this space feels like a rare jewel at a time when this kind of offering matters more than ever. If my experience is anything to go by, I would wholeheartedly recommend joining one of his gatherings to anyone who feels the call. I came away feeling it was a truly worthwhile and nourishing experience.

I joined Sam's Spring Gathering day after a recommendation regarding his work. The event was very well held, I found it to be a safe and well structured container. The structure was well thought out, providing lots of opportunities for connection and self-reflection. Stepping outside of my comfort zone felt safe and welcomed, without judgement.
I now hope to join other sessions and programmes run by Sam.
A thoroughly great day, nourishing, rich and enlightening. I look forward to more.

Sam provides a conscientious, honest and safe container with both the online and in-person courses that he offers.

A well-held three-month programme (Nature of Success) that gave space for reflection, connection, and honest conversation. The group dynamic was good overall, with a balance of structure and openness.

It helped me step back and look at how I’m showing up, especially around boundaries, energy, and how I relate to others. I’ve come away with more clarity on what feels aligned, more confidence, and a clearer sense of direction going forward.

I met Sam when I stepped into the mystery of one of his programs, called The Forest, a carefully curated course including interesting teachings, very well facilitated sessions, in person meetings and connections-community.

By the end of the course I felt I was stepping again back to my power, this time in a deeper and more authentic sense. I learned tools and maps to navigate life with more awareness, and in my healthy masculine power. I had the opportunity to share and receive wisdom with other men around the "fire".

What I appreciate in Sam is his authenticity and the fact that he embodies his teachings. Thanks for this journey brother, I'm grateful for your work.

I have just completed Sam’s coaching program ‘the way of the wild’ and I can wholeheartedly say that has been a deeply transformative experience. Sam has held space for me in a beautiful and deeply supportive way, providing me with a whole range of useful tools to keep me aligned to my journey though masculinity.
I would recommend this program to any man who feels that direction and guidance is needed in their lives. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much, Sam.

I had a very powerful experience working with Sam. He knows how to ask the right questions and hold space for the transformation. He was able to get very creative and come up with effective solutions. I would definitely work with him again.

I have met Samuel first time during his program " The Sacred Hunter" in October 2024.
It was a pivotal life changing experience for me.
Samuel's emotional language, communication skills and knowledge of the human psyche together with his loving heart and compassionate ways, had and still does, opened new doors in my being and have thought me how to be a better man, father, lover and in general a much fuller member of our society, where men have lost their notion of purpose, in this crazy modern times. I continue to work with him, being coached on a 1 to 1 coaching program of his, and lately during his incredible transformative workshop called " The Forest".
I feel now that I have a solid map to navigate and help understand myself better, thanks to you Samuel Adams

Samuel is an excellent communicator, guide, facilitator, and teacher. I met him at a festival and have since benefited greatly from his online sessions and in-person adventures. His programmes offer a fantastic blend of connection, learning, and growth with the right level of challenge. Highly recommended for men seeking deeper self-understanding.
