LEADERSHIP + WORKPLACE COACHING
COACHING FOR EVERY SEAT AT THE TABLE
Don’t let the word “leadership” fool you - this isn’t just for managers. This coaching is for anyone ready to lead
themselves with more confidence, clarity, and courage - whether you’re managing a team or just trying to stop second-guessing yourself in meetings.
COACHING NOT RESERVED
FOR THE TOP TIER ONLY
Redefining Leadership
Welcome to a new kind of coaching - one that ditches the fluff, goes beyond surface-level “strategies,” and actually meets you where you’re at.
This isn’t just for C-suite execs or people with a million direct reports. I’ve coached everyone from rising stars with zero leadership titles to seasoned GMs navigating high-stakes decisions - because leadership isn’t a job title, it’s a way of showing up.
My approach blends the depth of life coaching with boots-on-the-ground HR and leadership know-how. Translation? I get the real Stuff - the emotional toll of people politics, the confidence wobbles, the pressure to have it all figured out - and I’m here to help you move through it with clarity, courage, and a solid sense of self.
This is coaching that transforms from the inside out. It’s where personal growth meets professional edge. A space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with who you are, what you stand for, and how you want to lead - in work and in life.
How do I think clients would describe my coaching style?
If you asked people I’ve coached, here’s what they might say…
• Like an HR brain in a soul-led body - understands the system and the human
• Cuts through the fluff - asks the kind of questions that stop you mid-sentence (in the best way)
• Calm but fierce - brings grounded presence with just the right amount of fire
• A mirror and a megaphone - helps you see yourself clearly and back yourself loudly
• Real talk energy - no BS, no jargon, just honest reflection and bold encouragement
• Part coach, part hype woman, part accountability ninja - here to keep you moving, not just musing
• Deep and practical - where insight meets action
What People Come To Me For
Because real growth doesn’t come from googling answers. Here’s why people choose me as their coach when they’re ready to get real, get clear, and get moving.
Confidence
Not just faking it. Building the kind of self-trust that helps you speak up, back yourself, and stop second-guessing everything.
Leading Authentically
Figuring out what your version of leadership looks and feels like - and having the courage to lead that way, even if it’s not the traditional mould.
Navigating Self-Doubt
Shifting out of imposter mode and into grounded clarity. Learning how to hold your own, even in the messy moments.
Managing The Emotional Load
Making space for how you actually feel - and learning how to work with your emotions instead of letting them run the show.
Setting Boundaries
Because “I’ll just get it done” energy isn’t sustainable. Learning how to say no (without the guilt) and honour your capacity.
Showing Up Regulated At Work
Tuning into your nervous system, not just your calendar. Creating holistic practices that support you to feel clear-headed, calm, and steady - even when things get chaotic.
Growing Into New Roles
Whether you’ve just stepped into a leadership position or are being seen as “one to watch,” this is about owning your next chapter without burning out.
Having Hard Conversations
From performance chats to peer tension - learning how to hold your ground, stay human, and communicate with clarity (not just corporate speak).
Navigating Dynamics
Decoding complex workplace relationships and power plays, so you can move with confidence and stay true to yourself in any room.
Reconnecting With Purpose
Remembering why you’re here and how you want to lead, live, and show up - beyond the job title, the metrics, and the endless to-do list.

What 1:1 Coaching Really Offers
Let’s be real - most leaders don’t get space to pause. To zoom out. To actually hear themselves think.
1:1 coaching gives you that rare, powerful pause in a world that’s always shouting “do more.”
It’s where you get to slow down, get honest, and figure out what’s really going on - what matters, what’s in the way, and who you want to be as a leader (and as a human).
No cookie-cutter plans. No surface-level pep talks. Just real, personalised support that meets you exactly where you are.
Whether you're navigating growing pains, stepping into more responsibility, or craving a more authentic way to lead - this is the space where things shift.
From stuck to clear. From performative to powerful. From reactive to rooted.
This isn’t just professional growth. This is transformation that actually sticks.
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT
Hear from my amazing clients ...
"Challenging, uplifting and valuable."
"My biggest achievement has been applying what I’ve learned in practical ways within my team. The tools and exercises Sarah introduced me to have not only helped me but have inspired me to support my team in challenging their own thinking. I’ve even encouraged peers in similar roles to consider workplace coaching because the ripple effect of this work benefits everyone. Describing my coaching experience in 3 words they'd be: challenging, uplifting and valuable. I would definitely recommend coaching with Sarah to anyone who is determined to better themselves."

"I wish it never had an end date!"
"I didn’t know what to expect! I’d never heard of coaching before but I’ve always been so open to growth and new things! Never did I once think it would be such a life changing experience that it was. At the end of the first session I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. That this series was the perfect alignment for what I wanted to achieve in my future. Nothing comes to mind how this experience could be improved - if anything I wish it never had an end date! I think my biggest achievements would be understanding myself more internally. Because able to question why and how I do things. It’s opened up so many things for me and has exceeded my expectations of navigating the world selfless and calm."

Through my employer, I was offered the opportunity to work with Sarah (something I would highly recommend to other businesses), and although I was initially skeptical, my expectations were far exceeded. One of my biggest achievements from the coaching series was putting in place life structures that help me excel both personally and professionally. Sarah’s program had a significant impact on would be valuable for anyone in any role."
