We met Sam at a time when numerous problems hindered my company’s growth, in addition to a global economic crisis … the coaching service he provided was crucial for my growth, and helped me face the challenge of leading a developing company. Despite the crisis, Factory was able to increase its business performance by 40% … without Sam’s support, we wouldn’t have the courage nor the confidence to reach these heights.
