  • "I’ve worked with several executive coaches throughout my career, but none have matched Sarah’s approach. She wasn’t just a coach, she became a trusted advisor and business mentor, always available when I needed extra support, helping me untangle complex issues and guiding me with clarity and confidence. Her ability to get to the root of a challenge and help me explore nuanced, solution-oriented approaches transformed how I approached difficult conversations, whether with direct reports or the broader team. Having Sarah by my side during a challenging period of leading my team through a global restructure made all the difference. I can’t recommend her highly enough to any leader looking for meaningful, results-driven coaching."

In the post-pandemic shift to hybrid work, Sarah helped us to navigate new challenges by encouraging us to rethink how we shop up in this evolving context. She fostered a sense of collective responsibility, moving us beyond individual goals to prioritize team cohesion. It was a pivotal reset after the extended period of working apart."

  • “Sarah was a joy to work with. She brought incredible energy and agility to our Techstars founder retreat, contributing far beyond her Enneagram coaching session and lifting the atmosphere of the entire off-site. Her session itself was transformative: she made founders feel comfortable enough to share openly, unlocked insights that will stay with them for life, and created an emotional and powerful group experience. Sarah combines fantastic energy with deep professionalism, and the impact of her work has been so strong that Techstars is now looking to roll out Enneagram coaching more widely. We are deeply grateful for the impact she had on our founders and our community.”

    Georgie Smithwick, Managing Director Techstars London

Sarah had a great ability to listen, pull out the important areas for further exploration, and brought me along to having very productive conversations with my executive team that powered better results in our business. Coaching with Sarah was time very well spent.”

    Kurt Fraser, Chief Commercial Officer, Hill Robinson

  • “Coaching with Sarah completely changed my career trajectory. She has an incredible talent to ask questions which challenge your limitations and push you to achieve goals which may not have initially felt possible. I came into her group coaching program confused on my career goals and left knowing I was not alone, feeling energised with a clear plan. Since my time with Sarah I have received a job promotion, began an extremely successful non profit and recommended her to many of my friends!”

    Liseli Sumbwanyambe, Management Consultant at Leading Firm & Founder of The Ladder Club

  • "Sarah has a sincere gift for coaching. She masterfully helped me navigate certain professional issues and challenges with profound insight and structured plans forward. I left every single coaching session feeling infinitely more positive and action oriented."

  • “When I began coaching I viewed myself as a strong and competent employee, but was feeling stuck, limited, and frustrated in my role. Working with Sarah as an executive coach helped me shift my mindset, reframe my thinking, and critically look at my career path. She guided me to make impactful changes that have reinvigorated and given me visibility among senior executives at my company. Without Sarah, I would have struggled to learn how to show vulnerability in a business setting. Learning this key skill has physically and mentally unburdened me, and allowed me to advance at my company.”
