  • "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."

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!”

  • “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.”
