WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. . .
“I've never met anybody in my career who's better suited to teach people how to raise their game as leaders than Sara. Having worked for her, I've seen firsthand how human leadership can be a superpower, an ability that enables a team to unlock its greatest potential in a way that's sustainable over the long haul. That's because her approach makes everyone involved feel seen, respected, and accountable. It helped us increase our candor and results, and improve morale. In a business world that's hampered by burnout, tune-out, and attrition, this is where leadership training needs to go. I'm so grateful to Sara for what she taught me and I'm excited for her to share her expertise with you, too.”
David, Vice President
“Sara's leadership seminar surpassed all expectations, showcasing her unparalleled expertise and distinctive approach. What truly sets her apart is her unwavering emphasis on the human aspect, a quality that distinguishes her from the myriad of leadership programs I've encountered. Sara possesses an extraordinary talent for gathering pertinent information and transforming it into practical, actionable strategies tailored to achieving organizational objectives. Her delivery is not only warm but also deeply inspirational, leaving a lasting impact on all participants. Thanks to Sara's guidance, our team experienced a renewed drive towards surpassing our KPIs.”
Raquel, Head of Brand & Content Marketing
“Sara helped me and inspired me to think about how I should evolve my career trajectory, grow as a leader and ultimately create a positive change and growth for myself personally and professionally. She is an amazing listener and provided me with tools to increase my confidence and get comfortable communicating my story and the value I bring. Most importantly, she helped me think differently on how I should effectively communicate, elevate my skills and showcase my talent. Her commitment and passion for helping me grow is something I will always remember and be grateful for.”
Sumedha, Marketing Executive
“I learned so much about leadership and the value of honing your interpersonal skills in the corporate world through watching Sara in action, both in the macro sense, as the leader of our division, and in the micro sense, as the person most directly guiding forward and investing in my own development alongside me.
Sara is a skilled problem solver, understanding all sides of the knot at hand and constantly showing an ability to empathize and acknowledge the other perspectives of the issue at hand. This was never done in a pandering way nor was it done in a way that blindly defended her team vs others. Sara demonstrated a genuine ability to appreciate and focus on respective impetuses and boil the problem down to where each was coming from. This is one of the most poignant examples of the core skills and ability to be flexible Sara excelled at as a leader and guided her team against. This has undoubtedly stayed with me and remains a key influence in how I conduct myself as a leader and help my team approach challenges, interpersonal and structural.”
Kasey, Senior Director
“Sara is one of the most inspiring (without even trying to be) leaders and humans I've had the pleasure of working with. I had the pleasure and good sense to work with her twice because she is the kind of person you choose to follow if given the opportunity! She leads with heart and principal and innately coaches others to bring out their best. Her energy is contagious, and her courage emboldens those around her. As a media exec, many chose her to be their unofficial coach, mentor and advocate. Her transition to becoming a trained, professional coach seemed like a completely natural path for her born talents.”
Diana, Senior Director
“I worked with Sara at a time in my career when I had been promoted to a senior leadership role at a major global telco, and the business was going through a period of extreme change. As a result, I was often confronted with both extreme challenges at work and questions about the future of my own role within the organization.
Sara, using her vast experience and deeply emphatic training, was invaluable in helping me navigate these issues. At work, she helped me think through tricky personnel and performance issues within the team I was leading. On an interpersonal level, Sara helped me to tap into ''what lights me up'' -- the qualities and content that have kept me most engaged throughout my career. With this continual re-framing, I was able to rise above many of the seemingly insurmountable challenges before me, and eventually attract a brand new leadership role in a growth area within the company. Not to mention lucrative side projects in academia and advisory as well.
Sara's deep career experience means she has seen it all, and done it all, when it comes to management. However, her real edge as a coach is that it's never about her. She listens deeply and persistently asks the right questions to transform your challenges into opportunities. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for guidance at any point in their professional journey.”
Senior Manager, Vodafone Group (London, UK)
“I don't know how I would have navigated being an only parent of two kids, a challenging work environment and crossroads in my career without Sara's careful and thoughtful guidance. She is a wonderful, empathetic and kind human with the perfect blend of experience in the work force and skillset now as a career coach, exec leadership trainer etc. Sara takes time to really listen, give thoughtful feedback and things to consider and goes above and beyond to help keep me/her clients on track. I would recommend her to ANYONE who feels stuck, has issues at work, thoughts about their career path or general guidance and bespoke advice based on that person's specific situation. She is wonderful on every level.”
Andy, CEO & Co-Founder
“I knew Sara for many years before engaging her to work on my team’s offsite, and I have always been impressed with her strategic bent and welcoming personality. From those two characteristics, I knew that our offsite was destined to be a success. In the days leading up to the offsite, Sara spent a lot of time talking with my direct reports about our business so she could better understand how to lead the team in conversation and hit our business goals. My team appreciated the time she took to get to know them (and what they hoped to get out of the offsite). In taking this important step, all of the people at our two-day meeting felt comfortable with her moderation from the moment they walked in the room, and this preparation helped them open up quicker than I have seen with other facilitators. During the offsite, Sara kept us focused… with plenty of conversation and activities that laddered up to the things we sought to achieve. The team enjoyed the long days and continue to share their appreciation for the effort Sara put into making those days informative and entertaining. After the offsite, I quickly received the recap from Sara as well as ways to activate against her notes in order to put into action the ideas that came out of those important days. I would recommend Sara to anyone who needs a facilitator for their next offsite.”
Scott, SVP Global Marketing
“I worked with Sara over the course of several months. I am a physician of 24 years, seeking to chart a new/different career path for myself. Sara was amazing during this process for me. She understood who I was as a person, my values, and what I value in my work life. She asked so many pertinent questions that made me ponder on a deep level what I really want for the next chapter in my work. She was patient, insightful and taught me self-guidance skills so that I can have the most fulfilling future . I would rate my time with Sara as a 5 star experience and will utilize her expertise again in the future. Thank you, Sara.”
