WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Sara is a gifted coach and invaluable source of support during the always challenging process of exploring career pathways. An expert "sounding board" who brings wisdom, compassion, empathy, humor and patience (all of which are invaluable).

Sara’s coaching really gave me the extra (and gentle) push that I needed to make my career transition easier and smoother. I can’t recommend her enough, and I am sure her enthusiasm and insights will be as valuable to others as they have been to me!

Working with Sara was truly life-changing. She helped me zoom in on what's important, craft an action plan to invest in my priorities, and held me accountable in a gentle and loving way. The result: I was able to increase my income while doing the things I love.

After a traumatic experience at work, I'd lost all of my confidence and started doubting if having a career was even worth the stress and time. But thanks to Sara's coaching, I was able to turn over a new leaf and rediscover my passion and drive at work.

As a busy mom of three kids, I struggled to prioritize my own health for many years. Sara helped me uncover both what was holding me back and find the clarity and motivation to move forward. With her help, I was able to make positive changes to my health even while starting a new job. I feel better and have more energy for my family and work!

I’m working fewer hours (while having the same level of impact) and spending more time with my family. I’m still working to incorporate some of the health, relationship, and self development elements into my daily routine, but I have gotten better at making time to exercise and making time to prioritize my relationship. Outside of work, I am making more value-based decisions (both in assessing the priority of something I am considering undertaking and how it aligns to my values before making a decision).

Sara helped me clarify what I want and need from my career now that I am a Mom. I thought I was going to have to either take a job that demanded more than I could give or one that was insufferably boring. Sara not only helped me see that I had many more options, she supported me through the search and application process and did so in the kindest way possible.
