Experience

Sarah has been coaching since 2022 and brings a wealth of practical expertise to her coaching practice with over 20 years experience in marketing leadership roles across both the public and private sectors. She specialises in coaching women through the transition of becoming a new parent as well as those who are newly promoted into senior roles or on a fast track to leadership.

She became a coach after becoming a mum of twins and experiencing challenges in returning to the senior level corporate role she held at that time. She felt like she wasn’t doing anything well – at work or at home – and was confused, disillusioned and unsure of where to focus and prioritise. She recognised her experience wasn’t unique and, after being coached herself, decided to move into coaching to support others to have a better experience.

Coaching style

Her coaching style blends lived experience, pragmatism and curiosity and works towards a sustainable solution, providing practical tools and techniques alongside powerful insights.She is honest and transparent in the way that she approaches coaching – “I’ll do what I say and say what I’ll do.”

At the core of her coaching philosophy is the belief that success starts with self-awareness, resilience and a commitment to continuous growth. She tailors each coaching relationship to the unique needs and aspirations of the individuals she is working with. She aims to bring an element of fun into all coaching relationships – working hard but having fun in the process. This builds better connection, brings less stress and enables individuals to be more present during coaching sessions.
