1:1 Career Coaching
Not Sure What’s Next? Let’s Figure It Out, Together.
Whether you’re launching your career, questioning your current path, considering a pivot, or ready for something bigger, knowing what you want and how to get there isn’t always obvious. We’ll uncover what matters most to you, explore what’s possible, and create a practical plan that feels right for where you are and where you want to go.
This is coaching through a recruiter’s lens.
Together, we work backward from the future you want.
I spent more than 25 years helping companies identify and hire creative talent, and I’m also a professionally trained coach, LPCC-certified through Brown University’s ACT program and an ACC credential-holder through the International Coaching Federation.
That combination means our work goes beyond job-search strategy. I help you understand what you want, recognize the patterns that may be holding you back, make clearer decisions, and take action with confidence.
Together, we can:
Clarify your strengths, values, direction, and the opportunities that genuinely fit.
Build a story and positioning that sets you apart.
Strengthen your résumé, LinkedIn, portfolio, and overall presence.
Identify the right companies, relationships, and conversations to pursue.
Prepare for interviews, offers, and important career decisions.
Our sessions are part coaching, part strategy, and part working session. We might uncover a pattern, sharpen your positioning, map your network, prepare for an interview, or decide exactly what to do next.
You’ll leave with greater clarity, a stronger strategy, and concrete next steps toward where you want to go.
How it works
Lets start with a conversation.
You don't need to have everything figured out before we talk.
Whether you're exploring a career change, feeling stuck, navigating a job search, or simply looking for more clarity, a Clarity Call is a chance for us to discuss where you are, where you'd like to go, and whether coaching is the right fit.
If it is, we'll decide together which coaching path makes the most sense for your goals.

Hi, I’m Sam—your coach.
I’m an ICF-certified coach (ACC), trained through Brown University’s coaching program, and a former creative recruiter.
For 25 years, I co-led a boutique recruitment firm that placed talent at organizations including Wieden+Kennedy, Droga5, Ogilvy, Apple, Google, Lyft, and Brooks Running.
That combination of coaching and recruiting experience means I can support you through the entire journey.
Together, we’ll figure out what you want—and build a real-world plan to help you get there.

“If you work in advertising and aren’t talking to Sam, you’re missing out. She’s like an ad world Yoda. Over the years, Sam has been a sounding board, a trusted advisor, a source of sharp insight, and someone I’ve leaned on for honest advice when I’ve needed it most. She just gets it—the industry, the people, the nuance. Whether you’re job hunting, navigating a tricky professional moment, or just need a smart take on something, Sam is your career’s secret weapon.”

"I can't recommend working with Sam enough. I'm 26, still at my first job out of college, and have been wanting to pivot out of tech into a more creative career for a while, but had no idea where to start. I was looking for a strategic advisor who would really listen, make me feel seen, and help guide me in the right direction.
After working with Sam, I've learned so much about my values, where I want to go next, and how to get there. She has a gift for taking everything you're working through and synthesizing it into a clear, actionable path forward.
If you're unhappy where you are and unsure what comes next, Sam is exactly the person you need!”

“ Sam is an expert who truly understands the creative industry. As a long-time Creative Director, I found her coaching instrumental in helping me navigate a career pivot and improve my leadership approach. Sam asks the right questions and helps you think bigger, and she has a unique ability to be both supportive and challenging, which is exactly what you need at the executive level. Highly recommended for senior creatives looking for their next move!”

“Six months out of college, I was trying to break into advertising but struggling to find the right direction. I was getting occasional interviews, but I had not yet uncovered what I truly wanted from my career or how to position myself in a way that felt authentic.
Working with Sam Glatzer as my career coach changed that. Through her MAP Process, which emphasizes deep self-reflection, exploration, and intentional pathfinding, I gained real clarity on what drives me and what kind of work I want to build my career around.
That shift in insight made all the difference. This past week, I started my new role at Mighty Union and I genuinely would not be here without the work we did together.”
