Kendell discovered life coaching when she was going through changes in her life.
Several years ago, she and her family moved to Maryland. She left behind friends, family and her job. It was a big change. She didn’t know what was next in life. She wanted to do something new. She wanted a PURPOSE — but she was cautious about making big changes.
Kendell soon realized that hiring a personal life coach was one of the best decisions she would ever make. With her coach, she learned what she is passionate about in my life and career. She learned that INVESTING in yourself is a powerful thing.
Working on herself prepared Kendell to help others. She learned that she loves people and the Power of Partnership. She strongly believes in connection and community. Now an ICF, ACC Certified Coach, Kendell specializes in helping people in transition, building confidence, and finding their purpose and passion through their work or service to live lives they love.
Kendell came to IGC in 2018 through Mentor Coaching. What she enjoys most about IGC is the community, women empowering women and a safe place for you to become who you are meant to be in this world. For these reasons, her favorite IGC core value is “…Change lives that change other lives” She believes that when you and me become “we” ANYTHING is possible!

Sam Synett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Life Coach. Before enrolling in IGC’s coach training program in March of 2020, Sam was experiencing burnout and knew that even after earning a graduate degree as a first-gen college student, she was meant for something more than the status quo. Once Sam discovered IGC, she realized that she had been an “undercover” life coach her entire adult life and felt a deep pull to take a chance on pivoting her career. Sam is considered to be a national expert in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder and has built her coaching empire alongside a full-time career in the mental health field. Having this professional background has allowed Sam to build a trauma-informed life coaching practice, Sam Synett Coaching LLC. As a Sagittarius and Enneagram 8, Sam’s coaching style is very bold, no-nonsense, and passionate. Her coaching centers on helping women and trauma survivors reclaim their power and take ownership of their dreams while navigating through very real systemic barriers such as racism and oppression, economic inequality, and public health disparities.

Lauren never felt like she quite fit into the cookie-cutter life template that society too often prescribes. In her early 20’s she found herself following a path that had been laid out for her and checking off all the boxes of important milestones (graduating top of her class, having 6 internships under her belt before finishing college, “dream” job offer in NYC, poster-boy boyfriend, etc.). She was excelling at everything that was expected of her, but something was off. She felt stuck, unmotivated, and incredibly lost.
Lauren knew she wanted something different, something more. So, she turned down the job offer, bought a one-way ticket to Spain, and started paving an authentic path of her choosing.
Since that pivotal decision, her mission has been to fall unconditionally in love with her life while supporting others to do the same.
With a background in digital marketing, content creation and business development, and as a PCC, Mentor Coach, IGC Coach Training graduate and Leader’s Rising alum, Lauren now supports others to challenge the status quo, embrace the unconventional, and design lives and businesses filled with authenticity, purpose, and boundless adventure.
