About Sam
Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a digital wellbeing and social media coach, trainer and speaker and I’d love to help you create a positive relationship with the digital world in your business!
My Story
Having delivered social media training for 16 years, I have helped hundreds of businesses grow using social media. Social media offers massive opportunities for businesses in building relationships with and selling to customers.
But those 16 years have also highlighted to me the issues that come with the digital world too.
Overuse of social media and other apps has been shown to negatively impact productivity, sleep, focus, creativity and mental health. And the working world relies heavily on digital solutions, which can have major implications on productivity and performance, as well as employee wellbeing.
With a background and MSc in Business Psychology, I have combined my knowledge in both areas as a digital wellbeing coach and trainer, helping individuals manage their relationship with technology. This includes working with teams to manage their tech use, leading to an increase in employee and team output, improved work/life balance and wellbeing, and increased levels of joy.
I work with businesses on improving their digital culture to increase output and employee wellbeing. I help them learn about creating a positive digital culture to improve employee wellbeing and productivity, and also help employees manage their own digital wellbeing, reduce their own smartphone use and improve their overall wellbeing.
I work with parents to help them manage their child’s smartphone use and with the children themselves to give them autonomy in growing up with a positive digital wellbeing.
Alongside my digital wellbeing activity, I still deliver social media training within organisations, but in a way that they can manage sustainably and that doesn’t have a negative impact on their own lives.
My speaking career began soon after starting Sam Flynn Social Media, progressing quickly from networking groups to conference stages, including talks at The Excel London, and in Lesotho, Africa and Berlin.
I’m also a mum of three girls and a dog, a wife, a nightly reader, a crocheter and a lover of wine at the weekend!

Reducing Phone Use
I am passionate about helping people reduce their phone use and help them live a more fulfilled life away from the mindless scroll. My short course will help you understand why you might want to reduce your phone use and how to go about it.
My Approach
All my training and talks are based around the psychology of social media and the digital world. Google can quickly help us out with the technology. But understanding our audience and what they want from us on social media can be a lot trickier!
I’m a big believer in using social media mindfully and not wasting time on there. I help businesses understand how to achieve big results in the least amount of time.
And I love to help businesses promote a more positive digital culture to increase business output!
I also love to have a laugh! Learning is far easier when it’s fun! I don’t want people falling asleep when listening to me. I want to leave them with a smile on their face and a head full of knowledge!
