I very much enjoyed working with Sarah. She brings creativity and playfulness to her coaching style, which makes the sessions enjoyable, memorable and never dry.
Regardless of what happens next in my life I’m not sure I’ll ever see myself in the same way as I did before (coaching with Sarah) and will approach life’s challenges with a newly found level of self-belief and fearlessness.
I have hugely enjoyed working with Sarah and have found the coaching sessions have made a significant impact on both my performance and my wellbeing. I gained insights from our sessions that I am using on a daily basis.
I am beginning to understand what being true to myself really is. Thank you for that Sarah, I am positive it will make me a better person and leader.
Sarah has been a great sounding board, motivator and held me accountable for making important changes to my way of working. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
Sarah is straight forward, challenging, and above all, insightful. At the outset, Sarah promised to be alongside me and she was; not only during our sessions but in the intervening periods. She kept me honest and didn't let me off the hook.
