“Sarah is everything in a coach. I have found my confidence and voice to speak up as the leader I want to be. Defining my work passions and long-term vision has served as a compass to assess right-fit opportunities and next steps both inside and outside my current organization. I’ve also enjoyed sharing what I’ve learned with my own team and paying my experience forward to coach them to be effective leaders in their ways, too. 

Sarah has a clarity of voice and models how to be a confident leader. When she shares it is from a place of authenticity and experience. The variety of strategies within her leadership development program and executive coaching style are all so beneficial. We have coached on everything from effective communication to negotiation to work life integration. It is the whole package!“

— S. McCarty, Vice President of Learning and Instruction, Calbright College

“With Sarah as my executive coach I’ve been able to identify my unique value that is based on my personal principles, and untangle myself from the cyclical patterns that had me doubting myself. I get such grounding and validation from our coaching sessions, actual tools to apply, and ‘permission’ to be the real me. After practicing this authenticity in meetings, especially with other senior leaders, I’m seeing positive results. 

Sarah offers flexibility to meet me right where I’m at, along with the space to not know what to do next. In my role as a CFO, it’s important that I really anchor into my leadership development and style. I celebrate our work together and the difference it’s made in my personal and professional life!”

— J. Keyes, Chief Financial Officer, National University

“Sarah has great flexibility to her style. She uses a variety of questions and resources, when needed, to meet me in the moment and stay on point. She offers incredible accountability, which has helped me follow through on numerous goals and projects, even when the timeline shifts—which it does, being an executive. I process through everything, from challenging conversations to habits I’m resisting, with greater integrity than when I’m reflecting on my own. I also appreciate her ability to integrate faith, whether we’re talking wellness or business, since this is important to me.” 

— E. Sharma, Chief Administrative Officer and founder of several global companies

“Sarah has been a critical coach partner during a few pivotal times. The first time I worked with Sarah, she helped me navigate a huge career move (from a big 4 consulting firm in Washington, DC to a 5-person non-profit in San Diego) by drilling down into my core values and passions. I can say it was the best professional decision I’ve made and that I never would have done it without Sarah’s executive coaching and support. Most of the time she was a cheerleader, at other times she challenged me and always respected my style, potential, and needs. 

I’m working with her a second time—two years later—to focus on balance, effective communication techniques, and confidence building, and once again, she has been extremely helpful. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is navigating transition or simply wants to dig in and get more out of life by living their truth!”
