The Sami Team

It all started with a blind coffee date. Cheri was on holiday in Ecuador and had taken a tour with a company owned by Andrea’s husband. He had an intuition that the two should meet, and he was right! From the moment they began to share, it was clear their connection promised a world of possibilities (Cheri´s and Andrea´s favorite word). 

As they spoke together from the heart,  they discovered they shared the belief that one of the answers to today’s world of constant change and complex challenge is conscious, heart-centered leadership. They realized programs combining their complementary knowledge and skills could ignite and support the kind of positive change they were passionate about and committed to facilitating. As they worked together virtually, they saw and honored their differences as a powerful resource to create, grow and contribute.  From their creative sessions The Sami Project was born.
