Lead Above the Line.
what we care about
We exist to inspire leaders to live, lead, and decide from above the line — where humanity is honored, connection is cultivated, gratitude guides action, and leadership becomes a force for the greater good.
We believe morals matter and that struggle creates strength.
Hello, I'm Samantha
I became a master certified coach in 2006 — long before coaching (and Facebook) were everywhere. I’m a mom to four boys — one by birth and three by bonus — plus two dogs and seventeen chickens.
One of the chickens is fully convinced my husband is her boyfriend. She’s a hoot, and yes, she has her own cameo on the blog.
For a long time, though, life wasn’t nearly as light. Shame, fear, and a deep sense of victimhood shaped my early years and led to a string of decisions I wish I could rewrite. Until one moment changed everything. It flipped the light on and revealed a truth I’d never seen clearly before — that I was born for more.
And so are you.
My process of unpacking became the foundation for my leadership above the line and the book with the same name.
speaking of leadership
I help leaders cut through chaos and lead above the line.
With deep experience across healthcare, education, nonprofits, and business, I deliver tailored, practical talks designed to bring clarity, steadiness, and perspective—right when it’s needed.
No canned keynotes.
No motivational fluff.
Just real leadership perspective — delivered with clarity, humanity, and impact.
