About Sammy
Educated in China, the UK and France, and bilingual in English and Mandarin, I have spent my personal and professional life between Europe and Asia.
I currently serve as Asia Ambassador for Debrett’s, the leading authority on etiquette, where I lead the development and delivery of projects across Asia. My work focuses particularly on business etiquette, interpersonal skills and Sino-British cultural exchange, and I have developed and delivered programmes for professionals across a range of industries.
Alongside my work in etiquette and interpersonal skills, I have advised governments and international development organisations on tourism and culture, including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and the governments of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Georgia.
I bring these different experiences into my teaching because social intelligence is ultimately about understanding people, context and culture.
Whether you want to become more confident in social situations, prepare for an international career, improve your professional presence, navigate cross-cultural environments, or simply become better at connecting with people, lessons can be tailored around your individual goals and real-life situations.
Bring a situation you find challenging. We will work through it together.

Learn to navigate social and professional situations with confidence, consideration and cultural awareness.
My programmes are rooted in two simple values: Respect and Consideration. Through a coaching-led approach, I help participants develop greater self-awareness and cross-cultural awareness, strengthen their personal presence, and build the confidence to create positive connections and lasting impact.
What we will explore:
Personal Presence
• Social confidence and the first impression
• Greetings and introductions
• Understanding dress codes
• Becoming more aware of how you present yourself
Connect & Engage
• The art of listening
• Key conversation skills
• Making small talk more natural
• Building rapport
• Communicating across cultures
Create Impact
• Why soft selling works
• Sociable selling from a coaching perspective
• Navigating challenging situations
• Making the most of networking events
• Building relationships rather than simply making contacts
Be a Good Host
• Why hosting matters
• The art of being a good guest
• Principles of thoughtful hosting
• Dining etiquette
A coaching-led learning experience
My lessons are designed to be interactive and reflective rather than a simple transfer of knowledge.
Through scenario play, real-life applications, discussion and guided reflection, we will look at situations that you may actually encounter and explore different ways of approaching them.
There is no single formula for being “good” at social interaction. The goal is to understand yourself better, become more perceptive of others, and develop the confidence to respond appropriately while remaining authentic to who you are.
