EXPERIENCES THAT SHIFT MINDS

FACILITATION &

WORKSHOPS

Forget the buzzwords and boring slide decks.

This is facilitation that actually hits.

I’m not here to tick boxes or talk at people. I’m here to shift something - in the room, in the team, in the way people show up in their lives.

What sets these workshops apart? It’s the sweet spot where deep human insight + lived experience meets hands-on HR and leadership know-how. It’s real talk, real tools and real transformation.

No cookie-cutter content here. Every session is built with purpose and energy - designed to be practical, interactive and actually land.

It’s learning that sticks because people feel it, not just hear it.

Based in Melbourne, Victoria. Travel? Open to it. Get in touch.

Masterclasses

These sessions pack a punch - because they’re built around the stuff that actually matters.


The things I’m deeply passionate about. The conversations that shift something real in how people think, feel and show up.

Each masterclass is 2 hours of practical, hands-on goodness designed for up to 25 humans who are ready to lean in.


Perfect as a one-off hit or run them as a power series.

So, if you’re ready to run something in your workplace that hits differently - let’s go.


Not your standard “tick the box” session - these are the ones people still talk about afterwards.

Values - Discover what truly drives you

This one changes everything.


When you know your core values, you hold the map to how you move through the world. They shape your choices, your boundaries your motivation - and how you connect with others.


In this session, we’ll dig into what really matters to you (not what should matter), uncover the invisible forces driving your behaviour and help you name and claim your personal non-negotiables.


You’ll walk away with clarity, language and a deeper understanding of what “alignment” actually feels like - so decisions become simpler and your self-leadership more authentic.

MINDSET - BREAK FREE FROM LIMITING BELIEFS

Most of us don’t realise how much of our day-to-day thinking is on autopilot - driven by old stories and limiting beliefs that quietly keep us small.


This session helps you bring awareness to the patterns, perfectionism and protective mechanisms that no longer serve you.


You’ll learn to reframe unhelpful thoughts, shift from self-criticism to self-compassion and build grounded confidence that doesn’t crumble under pressure.


Expect deep reflection, powerful questions and tangible tools you can use immediately to rewire your inner narrative.

GOAL SETTING - AND NOT YOUR TRADITIONAL KIND

Forget the SMART goals and productivity jargon - this is about creating soul goals.


The ones that light a fire in your belly and feel anchored in who you are, not just what you “should” achieve.


In this masterclass, we explore your starting point (where you are now), your desired feeling (how you want life or work to feel) and then map a vision that connects the two.


You’ll leave with clarity, focus and a plan that feels expansive, not exhausting - the kind of goals that actually stick because they mean something to you.

COACHING CONVOS - THAT ACTUALLY TRANSFORM

Most people think they’re listening .... but they’re really just waiting to speak.


This session unpacks what a true coaching conversation looks like: one built on curiosity, presence and trust.


You’ll learn practical frameworks and questioning techniques to help others access their own insights and solutions - without rescuing, fixing or taking over.


Perfect for leaders, managers or anyone wanting to have more meaningful conversations that empower and inspire rather than direct and control.


Expect lightbulb moments and a noticeable shift in the way you communicate (and how people respond to you).

NERVOUS SYSTEM - ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND IT

Before we can think clearly, create bravely or self-lead authentically - we need to feel safe.


In this workshop, we unpack the science of your nervous system and how it impacts your energy, communication and resilience.


You’ll learn to recognise the signs of stress and dysregulation in real time, understand your body’s cues and discover simple tools to bring yourself back to a calm, grounded baseline.


We explore the link between nervous system awareness and confidence, presence and connection - because true leadership starts with self-regulation and our ability to be able to respond and not react.

READY TO BRING THIS ENERGY INTO YOUR WORKPLACE OR SPACE?

These workshops are designed to be equal parts insight and integration.


They meet people where they’re at and give them
tools they can actually use the same day.

Whether you’re after one power-packed session or a mini-series that builds over time, let’s make it happen.

Each masterclass are for up to 25 humans, 2 hours in duration and $1,790 + GST.

Want to run all 5 as an entire series? Guarantee your people will love it - you'll also get a 5% discount.

FOR TEAMS

EVERYTHING DiSC

Understand yourself. Understand others. Work better together.

Work hits different when people actually get each other - and that’s where Everything DiSC® comes in.

It’s not another personality quiz you’ll forget tomorrow. It’s a science-backed tool that gives you the language, insight, and “ohhh that’s why” moments to decode yourself and your team - so you can stop walking on eggshells and start communicating like humans again.

Rooted in real behavioural science (minus the psych jargon), DiSC shows you how you show up - your communication style, what drives you and where friction sparks. You’ll also learn how others tick, so instead of clashing or guessing, you can connect, collaborate and coach more effectively.

Think of it as a workplace translator - but way more fun.

And because I’m a certified Everything DiSC® facilitator, every workshop is packed with deep insight + lived experience.

There are four core styles - Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. We’re all a mix, but most of us have a “main character” that leads the show. Once you know yours (and theirs), everything changes:

  • Conversations flow smoother

  • Conflict turns constructive

  • Teamwork clicks

  • Feedback actually lands

FOR WHEN YOU WANT YOUR MESSAGE TO LAND

ACTIVATE: Your Impact

Public speaking is consistently ranked as one of the top fears globally - yep, even above death! But here’s the thing: in today’s world of work, being able to communicate with clarity and presence isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a power move.

Whether you're leading a room, pitching an idea or navigating a hard conversation - how you show up and speak up matters.

ACTIVATE: Your Impact is a two-day experience designed to help you step into your voice and own your presence. This isn’t about perfect speeches or polished scripts. It’s about real, relatable, powerful communication - the kind that builds trust, inspires action and leaves a lasting impression.

  • Understanding your natural style and leaning into that - not performing

  • Tools + techniques that you can use and implement immediately

  • Learning to manage your nervous system so you can access your confidence easily + often

  • Presentation presence, delivery and pacing strategies

DON'T SEE WHAT YOU NEED?

Don’t see what you need here? No stress - I love going rogue (or custom) if it feels aligned.

Our organisation recently engaged Sarah to facilitate a senior leader session focused on next steps with our leadership development program.  Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Sarah as a facilitator,  knows the strength of her phenomenal skills in this space.   Sarah can simultaneously deliver on the designed, agreed outcomes and cleverly pivot when it is needed – all whist holding a group conversation that leaves everyone in the room feeling heard and better for the conversation.  Even with the invariable challenging views or more complex personalities that appear in any group,  Sarah’s engaging style and intelligence enable her to navigate with ease,  keeping the agenda on track and consistently identifying logical, workable solutions to move forward.   It is an undeniable strength and underpins her immense career success so far.  Any team is fortunate to have her contributing to the conversation and I cannot recommend her services more highly.
