Samantha Sutton, Ph.D. Life Engineering
Tackle your core questions
"My coaching with Samantha has made me a much more effective competitive academic scientist, allowing me to keep my creative edge by fully embracing the management challenges. For anyone who wants to be both a scientist and a leader, coaching is an effective, deep and personal way of tackling the core questions."

Professor of Neuroscience, New York, NY
Create a vision for your life
“I started coaching with Samantha because I felt I wasn’t achieving enough in my graduate program. My anxiety about schoolwork and my colleagues’ opinions of me were creating a perfect storm of negative thoughts that were running my life. Samantha helped me create a version of myself that I never even knew could be so powerful and impressive… and had fun doing it!”

Graduate Student, Berkeley, CA
A valuable partner through life
"Samantha helped me become the 'hero' I always knew I had inside of me. This means that I bring happiness into work rather than trying to get happiness from work. This means that I rebooted my relationship with my brother and father in time to be supportive through my mom’s passing. I now bring joy, passion, and generosity to the party.
Samantha is insightful, an assertive supporter, and a valuable partner through life."
Scot J.
CEO, Providence, RI
Direct, logical, and scientific approach
"Samantha’s seminar for MIT students was excellent! Her approach to “life engineering” appealed to our engineering and science students because she spoke their language. Her own experience conducting lab research in biological engineering gave her direct, logical and scientific approach extra credibility. She asked the students to approach their life goals as they would an experiment and that engaged the audience completely."
Katie Maloney
Director, Parents Association & Student/Alumni Relations, MIT
The tools to never settle for less
"Samantha quickly identifies an insightful approach to any situation, and delivers it with the appropriate sensitivity and/or toughness. I've become a powerfully positive force in my profession! Life is too short to keep putting off living the one you want to live; Samantha's given me the 'tools' to never settle for less."

Compassionate and challenging
"Samantha combines a deep love of her clients with a engineer's way of thinking critically and solving problems. She is compassionate, and challenged me to set personal expectations higher by searching for creative solutions. She really wants her clients to live their most amazing life and be their happiest, their most successful and their highest version of themselves."

Stand up for what you are worth
"Samantha helped me see my value and negotiate a higher starting salary for my new job. I didn't want to 'make waves' with my new employer, but the negotiation went great and I am so proud of myself for asking for what I am worth. Next time, I will be even more brave!”
