Organizational Transformation


Our multi-tiered approach to facilitating change includes employee engagement assessments, facilitated sessions with the leadership team, workshops for managers and teams, and gamification apps to ensure culture stays active and on target.

"Sam came highly recommended and after attending his sessions I can see why. We brought StarMaker in to deliver a series of learning journeys designed to create alignment and establish best-practice across all levels.

He worked with our Executive teams on leadership and cultural transformation, with our Managers on employee engagement, and with our frontline teams on solutions-based thinking and authenticity in service. Throughout he was able to link the content back to our brand and mission.

The teams found the sessions inspiring and practical. His use of role-play using professional actors gave the teams an opportunity to take the tools shared throughout the sessions and put them into action. We also received tailor made follow-up activities that we were able to run independently in-house to keep the learning alive. I strongly suggest StarMaker to any company looking to truly engage their people."

Diversity and Inclusion


We take a humanistic approach to addressing bias by exploring the practical benefits to inclusivity. Our sessions examine the psychological function of trust and how it can be cultivated. Using tools from improvised theater and thought-provoking group activities, we explore human nature. Through script writing exercises and facilitated role-plays, relationships are redefined to optimize diversity.

"I needed an efficient way to bring together the geographically and culturally diverse team; to work across borders, fill knowledge gaps and to share intelligence and resources.

Teresa's workshop achieved all of my business objectives, and as importantly, helped to forge bonds and increase collaboration. It was also great fun!"

Leadership Communication Coaching


Leaders are in the spotlight and their behavior impacts more than just their relationships with teams and clients, it drives organizational culture. In 1999 Teresa Norton pioneered a powerful new approach to working one-to-one with senior executives by borrowing from the theater director’s toolbox and since that time has coached over 300 executives from Middle Managers to C-Suite.

"Teresa is an exceptional executive coach. Exceptional is a word that is often over-rated but with Teresa the word itself doesn’t do her justice.

I had the privilege of working with Teresa in my role as CFO Global Circulation at The Economist. She helped me put together my leadership style and this, in turn, enabled me to help my teams take responsibility and move forward in their own roles."

The Workplace Big-Five Personality Assessment


The five-factor model is recognized as the most well-researched psychometric available. Workplace Big-Five increases awareness of what may be driving your behavior and provides insights into the reactions of co-workers and clients. Sam Bobertz is a certified Workplace Big-Five consultant.

We suggest employing this powerful tool in both group work and one-to-one coaching.

StarMaker can provide Workplace Big-Five assessments to other coaches and organizations.

Performing with Confidence


Everyone can use a boost in self-confidence from time to time and for more junior members of the team, meetings are where they can feel most exposed and least able to ‘be themselves’. By combining improvisation, strategic storytelling and personality metrics, we offer strategies for contributing with impact and authenticity whether communicating with clients, customers or senior members of the organization.

"A big thank you, Sam for delivering the training to our team with such energy and passion. The well thought out theater-based approaches and facilitated discussions were a real hit during the two-day workshop. We’ll see you next month for more of the same!"

Michael Faulkner, General Manager, Swire Hotels East Beijing
