Coaching

You’re ready for change,
to learn and to grow,
let’s unlock new insights,
and shift status quo

We can work together to…

  • Level up your Leadership

    Step confidently into more responsibility, complexity, and impact

    Common scenarios:

    • You were recently promoted from Individual Contributor to Manager/Tech Lead or Manager to Director level

    • You’re navigating challenging work relationships and want to develop more comfort with conflict

    • You crave a neutral thought partner to help you articulate your vision and strategy

  • Reimagine your Career Path

    Gain clarity on what’s authentically right for you in your next chapter

    Common scenarios:

    • You’re pretty sure you’re ready to leave your current role, but feel stuck when you start to consider what’s next…or how to get there

    • You have a growing desire to be more creative or self-expressive in the work you do

    • Your values or priorities have meaningfully shifted and you want your next work adventure to feel more aligned

  • Move towards Balance

    Be more intentional about how you’re using your time, energy, and strengths

    Common scenarios:

    • A major change around your family, health, or career has thrown life into chaos mode

    • You’re feeling consistently overwhelmed, stressed, and drained, often with a side helping of guilt that you’re not giving 100%

    • You have skills and strengths that you want to make more space for in your life and career

How coaching works…

Coaching is 100% about you and your specific goals, which means that no two coaching journeys are the same! But you can expect that along the way I will compassionately support you to:

  • Gain clarity on your goals for coaching (an important first step!)

  • Explore your personal definition of success

  • Craft a values-based vision for the impact you want to have in your life, career, or leadership

  • Uncover the beliefs and fears that are getting in your way

  • Try on new mindsets that unlock possibilities

  • Harness your power and unique strengths that support your vision

  • Identify and practice key leadership skills in a supportive space

  • Embody bold new performances in your life and leadership

The results?

Tremendous growth combined with more ease, joy, confidence, and purpose in how you lead at work and in life.

 

Let’s play with possibilities, together

Working with Sarah is a game-changer – and I don’t mean that hyperbolically. I’ve been working with Sarah with a focus on coaching and leadership mindset development, and together we kept cracking open new insights, exploring new paths and instilling new layers of confidence. Sarah is all substance and style – warm, welcoming, incredibly insightful, gently persistent, whip-smart, and funny as hell. So very highly recommended to anyone doing the “work” – for yourself and for the organizations, teams, causes and missions you lead and care about.

  • Believe that growth is accelerated when you intentionally step out of your comfort zone

  • Want to experience laughter and lightness as you tackle serious change and challenges ahead
