SEE’s journey started with Samuel. A clinical psychologist, rabbi, academic and dynamic lecturer, Samuel worked in various senior positions in the UK and abroad – in the public, private and charitable sectors – before the idea of SEE was born.
 
Having identified the need for genuine cultural change and cohesive workplaces in many organisations, Samuel decided to bring his experience of utilising deep psychological insights in group environments to transform hearts and minds. Today, his programmes through SEE support major public sector organisations to achieve their goals, including the British Army (Field Army, Home Command, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst), and Police (Dorset Police, College of Policing) and his work was featured in The Times last year.
 
Samuel is undertaking a second doctorate at University College London (UCL) to investigate these innovative approaches to cultural change – using robust research methodologies, evidence-based practices and strong data analysis – and is further supported by a team of psychologists, leadership and cultural experts, professors and university departments. Samuel’s passion is the impact that his work has on people; he has personally trained hundreds of individuals across the public sector to become culture change facilitators in their own rights – with SEE’s work reaching thousands of employees as a result.
 
Samuel is a published researcher, teacher and commentator across a range of subjects. As a community leader he draws upon a strong ethical leadership that influences his passion for change initiatives. He has led communities in the UK and abroad, most recently being the rabbi for a 1200-strong congregation in London. Following his dream of sharing the power of human change at scale, Samuel has left working as a rabbi to grow SEE. Samuel still teaches on a variety of topics in higher education institutions, including as an honorary lecturer at UCL, and is a regular public speaker.
 
Samuel is a nationally sought after clinician and mental-health consultant, with specific expertise in culturally-sensitive practice and men’s wellbeing. He is also the clinical director of a start-up charity in this space. Previously, Samuel worked in the NHS as a senior hospital psychologist at the interface between physical and mental health.
 
When he’s not trying to share light with the world, he’s looking after the little lights at home. You can also find him dodging potholes on his road bike.
