Overview
-
Sarah is an experienced executive coach with a background in financial services and management consulting. She started her career at Gartmore Investment Management Ltd (now Henderson) before starting her own SME consulting business supporting founders and owner-managed businesses. She spent 15 years working as an advisor to CEOs across a variety of sectors before training to become a coach. Coaching has been her primary focus since 2016.
-
Sarah works with clients around leadership identity and presence, frequently exploring personal authority, agency, values-oriented behaviours and significant transitions (becoming a parent, changing course, retirement). She has a particular interest in enabling clients to become more conscious of their thought patterns and mindsets and in supporting them in exerting greater control over the quality of their thinking (managing the inner critic, imposter, situational responses).
-
Sarah is adept at building trust and creating an environment that is primed for hard work but with a degree of humour. She expects a high level of engagement and brings her own experience, alongside client anecdotes and research, to facilitate a dynamic and expansive learning space. She is light- hearted and optimistic and enjoys inviting her clients to work with imagery, objects and metaphor. People who work with her appreciate her straight-talking and pragmatic approach, her articulate summaries, her intuition and the blend of challenge and support.
-
Sarah is continually expanding her learning and capability in theories and topics including psychology, system dynamics, psychosynthesis and neuroscience.
-
Sarah is based in the UK and works both in person and virtually and maintains a broad client base from amongst the professional classes.
