“Sara’s coaching is like going to the gym to stay leader-strong.”
When Sara and I first started to work together, she asked me what my commitment level was to myself and my personal fulfilment. I knew at that moment I had found the right coach!
Our coaching work helped to clarify the issues that I wanted to resolve around new challenges relating to my work and personal life. I wanted to better my leadership capabilities to address the organizational crisis and strains caused by the pandemic. I also wanted to reconnect with my inner passions and curiosities.
Through our conversations and subsequent self-reflection, Sara helped me develop the internal fortitude and skills to drive organizational engagement and growth, to create a safe and supportive culture of resilience and resourcefulness. This work simultaneously supported my ability to re-energize how I connected with myself and elevated healthy personal choices.
I left our sessions more and more confident about the possibilities to put myself first to better serve others. I felt a new sense of freedom around understanding the limiting voice in my head that often sabotaged my ability to get unstuck from unproductive patterns - such as over-working with work taking a disproportionate amount of my time.
Sara’s inquiries around what am I going to do to invest in what I want were invaluable. I appreciated exploring the details and simplicity of what gives me satisfaction and joy. This helped me to direct needed care back to myself so that I could be of service to others. It also gave me a new appreciation for the importance of owning my own agency and the right to say “no”.
I am grateful for Sara’s professional gifts and grace.
