Is Executive Coaching the Next Right Step for You?
When I work with executive, senior, and even emerging leaders I often hear something like this…
“I feel like I’m on the brink of moving into a role that allows me to earn the money I deserve and have the impact I want to have. Yet, I still haven’t gotten there. So, what’s going on?!”
This is particularly pronounced for women and underrepresented leaders.
For example, women often wonder:
Are my contributions not as great as I thought they were?
Am I not doing a good enough job tooting my own horn?
Maybe I’m not being assertive enough about what I want?
If this resonates with you, you might be wondering how you can get what you want without compromising your integrity or overworking and being self-sacrificial to the point of burnout.
My goal is to help you advance and expedite desired outcomes without creating more overwhelm. Coaching should make your life easier, not busier or harder.

My Approach as to Executive Coaching
As an executive coach, I pride myself on facilitating coaching relationships where my clients go from dreaming to doing. Whether it’s showing a client how to build out a plan for her elusive “5-year-plan” or identifying the root issue for a situation that has played out again and again, my clients frequently tell me, “Sara, it’s like you are living in my head!”
Through my coaching, I meet my clients where they are and hold space for them to be vulnerable, make mistakes, be present with uncomfortable feelings, and be unapologetically bold about what they want for themselves. With a firm belief in the power of momentum, I make sure my clients always feel prepared to take the next right step, no matter how messy things may seem.
While my favorite thing is championing my clients, I also spend a lot of time in our sessions reflecting back what is and sometimes isn’t being said and, when necessary, inviting new forms of growth to ensure my clients get and stay out of their own way. At the end of the day, I must make sure my clients possess the right balance of structure and freedom to live and lead in ways that are authentic to them and the core values they want to uphold in their personal and professional lives.

Coaching Testimonials
I knew after the time I'd spent listening to Sara's podcast that she was going to give me the tools I needed to get me out of my shell and encourage me to take on the roles I had been avoiding. Working with Sara over the last year has given me the courage to step into my CEO role with confidence. I have taken HUGE steps this year that I had avoided for years. If you're on the fence about coaching (like I was) all I can say is DO IT! You won't know what you're capable of unless you take a chance on yourself.
Ivy
I tend to focus my efforts on the things I already do well, and then get frustrated when I feel stuck. I love that coaching with Sara gives me a place to go to ask questions, gain support, and keep me accountable on a regular basis. This keeps me showing up and taking bold steps that otherwise can feel too scary to do alone.
Kelly
Sara has the unique ability to see your inner superpowers and bring them out into the open for all to see and value. I've become far less dismissive in my skillset and more emboldened in my desire for true equity and dismantling the systems of oppression. I'm a fairly bold woman in general and yet, I feel like I've been recently released from an invisible bond that said 'Don't go there, society isn't ready for this talk.' Having a guide like Sara is invaluable.
Brandee
Sara is an incredible example of leadership. She puts so much of herself into everything she does. Her honesty, values, and willingness to not only lead by example but also show up consistently are priceless. I would highly recommend her to any woman who wants to become a better leader.
Ella
Working with Sara helped me to see the impact my work has in the world. The way Sara challenged me to look at things from a different perspective empowered me to intentionally pivot and grow within my strengths. Sara, I think I say some version of this every time we talk, but I cannot thank you enough for all the courage and dreaming I have been able to do because you've believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself!
