Be Yourself

Beluga Bean is a wellbeing agency pioneering new strategies for success in business and life. Renée Elliott and Sam Wigan offer a unique combination of business savvy and personal development which they call Be Yourself. 

In 1995, Renée pioneered supermarketing in England, opening the first organic Planet Organic, and changed the way the UK thinks about food.  With her mission to promote health in the community, she challenged conventional food retailing and showed that values-led, commercially-driven business is Good Business. Today Planet Organic is a beloved, successful multi-million pound brand.

Working as a volunteer alongside the Soil Association, Renée campaigned for sustainable agriculture and better food for decades. She is also the author of cutting-edge cookbooks, a prolific corporate and public motivational speaker, and a full-on mum. A consultant with 30 years’ experience in values-led business, Renée has been awarded 50 Most Impactful Social Innovators, Britain’s 100 Most Entrepreneurial Women, London’s 1000 Most Influential People, Businesswomen of the Year and more.

Meanwhile Sam is an executive life coach with over 20 years experience and a practiced designer in transformational development. When Ariana Huffington founded Thrive Global to combat corporate burnout Sam was one of the first coaches she asked to join the team. As a coach, Sam is skilled at working with individuals, teams and business owners to deliver purpose, wellbeing and improved results in a competitive and demanding world. He is practiced at bringing teams together and assisting individual clients to reset, clarify purpose, resolve challenges, evolve paradigms and attain desired results.
