Client testimonials
I received executive coaching from Sarah over a six-month period while I was experiencing significant changes to my leadership role. She set clear goals and expectations for me at our first coaching session, which helped us to focus upon my needs as a leader and the needs of my organisation. She always made the sessions fun and engaging, and she was able to strike a great balance between forming habits of self-reflection, helping address the day-to-day issues and my personal development as a leader, with new ways of thinking. She would quickly pinpoint the crux of a situation and she never failed to leave me with helpful insights, ideas or questions to ponder. I thoroughly enjoyed the coaching sessions and I believe I am a better leader today because of the coaching I received from Sarah.
Chris Johnson, industrial design lead, Pentland Brands
The sessions I had with Sarah were consistently encouraging and I found them an excellent source of guidance. She has a strong ability to listen and identify key issues, and helped me address them in a way that I was comfortable with.
Senior manager, NHS
My sessions with Sarah are always very engaging, relaxed and professional. She uses a questioning style which helps me to think differently and more clearly. She has helped me to see my ‘worth’ and potential in the Group but also importantly areas of improvement.
