We were a young but quickly growing business. Having grown organically, we had naturally developed a strong culture and sense of purpose, but had never framed it, put it into words a developed a Vision, Purpose and Mission Statement. Having worked in business transformation for years I knew the importance of clearly defining your vision - particularly as you’re navigating your team though big changes and growth. I needed someone external to bounce off. Someone who I hadn’t worked with before, with a fresh pair of eyes and not from our industry. Sara really helped me focus on and get the important stuff done! Having a time in the diary every other week where we’d go through my actions forced me to spend time working on the business instead of in the business. She’d hold me to account - and being the type of person I am (a starter, but certainly not a finisher), I needed that most. In my previous roles, working for larger companies and reliving large scale change, I was optimistic, confident and bullish. I learnt this wasn’t necessarily the case as a business owner. I was behaving much more cautiously than I thought I was.  This cautious behaviour was limiting our potential. The feelings haven’t gone away, but I now recognise them and have a process to snap out of it. Working with Sara has definitely contributed to our growth. In figures - since we started our engagement, our run-rate revenue has doubled, our adviser headcount has doubled, and we’ve moved into a new office onsite with IBM. Over a 6 month period, we developed a clear vision, purpose and mission statement, found the confidence to grow faster (hiring more staff and investing in growth) - this was all happening, throughout the uncertainty caused by COVID. We can now see where we’re going, and we’re all working hard to get there. I’m now finding myself daring to dream more. I can’t stress enough how important it is as a small business leader to have an ‘outsider' who will challenge your thinking and push you. Of course I know best practice, but you’d be amazed how much of that critical thinking goes out the window when you’re in the thick of it, working frantically in the business - you lose sight of the bigger picture and quickly become a busy fool. I would definitely recommend Sara!

Passionate would be the first thing to say about Sara. We met when I was looking for a change, I needed to change my leadership style and it helped me to build and unify a great team by learning how to lead myself and lead others. People say change is hard. I agree, but it is much easier when you have Sara as your coach. She's been an inspiration to me and it has helped me to maximise my effectiveness. I've learnt more about myself and specific behaviors I needed to adjust. I've been fortunate to find her.

Having focus and support, I've solved problems that have enabled both my businesses to progress quickly to the next stage. And it's changed the way I think about how I look after these companies, how I control my time and support my team. And it's made me realise I need to put time in my diary to reflect, address my emotions and do what do I need to do to address that. It's been a reprogramming exercise. Which has made my businesses soar! By virtue of getting on top of the challenges I was facing, I've found a big reduction in my anxiety levels and the feeling of being able to cope with situations better, provides confidence. Aligning personal goals with business goals and making sure they are symbiotic with each other has made me a happier person. A really positive experience all around. I'd highly recommend Sara.

We are a smaller technology company,  and we were going through some quite big changes at the time I met Sara. And we were growing. We were changing the business model,  and pivoting. We were getting some new investors on board.  We had new people coming in.  And in a nutshell,  it was something I saw as a need of having a pillar,  some code,  connected to the founder team to help us get through these changes. It's so easy to slip away from, I'll say,  prioritizing our company values, during change. I have been positively surprised about how Sara helped us "address the elephant in the room" and helped us have much needed discussions, as a team, which sometimes have been difficult. The whole purpose of this was to make our business more effective and increase collaboration across important decisions we needed to make. Sara gave really fantastic support, helping us facilitate these things and be able to to flip the coin and looking at ourselves in different ways,  both from from a weakness and strength perspectives as well. This has really helped our team cohesiveness and success. There really was a high need for individual performance but we were often misaligned on expectations.  And because this is a multi-cultural team coming with various backgrounds and also experienced in different ways; we found that communication was often a challenge. It required additional attention to certain things and particularly in how to communicate and make decisions together when you're working across time zones. Sara really helped us get clear on how to do this better. We have much better clarity of what we are and who we are as a company and how we're contributing well or not well to the business, the individual role we're playing and most of all,  the common goal we want to achieve together.  We also know how to support each other in asking for help as well.  Asking for help is sometimes most difficult, even though this should be the most easiest part. Sara has been a massive help for us.  And coaching is just something that's definitely a recommendation to bring on in any company,  whether they're bigger or small. I cannot overstate the value of having third party objective support to help us move forward as a team and as a company.

I found myself getting easily frustrated with members of my team when I first started working with Sara. So one of my major discoveries through working with Sara on a group basis was how to influence people as a leader. The easiest way to change the behaviour of others is to change your own reactions! I looked at how I could communicate differently and how I could model the behaviours I wanted to see from the team. Not only did that give me back my power (and get me out of victim mode), but what I found was that people started to change naturally as a response to me changing. I also discovered the powerful role of the leader as coach. By asking the right questions at the right time, I could influence change in other people through helping them come to a realisation themselves, rather than trying to convince someone. If you want to make leading a team more effortless, getting your coaching skills up to scratch will help you to do this. AND this also directly translated into more powerful sales conversations – in my role as Head of Sales.

In August of 2020 I had been searching for a personal business consultant when I received a contact request from Sara.  After speaking with her and interviewing other consultants I made the decision to work with her.  I chose Sara because I wanted the perspective of someone who was different than mine as well as someone, I could tell would challenge my thought processes.  Thus, in September 2020 I began a yearlong consulting engagement with Sara. I chose to renew the contract thereafter and increase the scope of the engagement to group leadership coaching and team training. Throughout the process I have learned many things both of myself and in growing my business.  I have become more thoughtful of the process and team I lead, understand my vision of where I want to take my business and have a much better grasp on how to go about meeting business goals and objectives.  Sara helped in redefining our core values, sales process, and target market.  We have been able to begin to move upstream and diversify our client base.  During this time our staff has grown and correspondingly sales have increased by nearly 50%, and the business is more profitable.  Personally, I have learned to dedicate time to reflection.  I weekly set aside time to think, read and work on myself as an individual. What you will find when you work with Sara.  She is direct and works with you to find the answer you are seeking; however, will not just “give” you the answers.  Sara asks for a weekly homework and assignments.  These are easily accomplished if you are good at setting goals. Other thoughts:  write down what you talk about.  Easily said but essential as you can both review and relearn items you’ve discussed.  Read a lot.  Discuss books and listen to Sara’s perspective.  Invest the time.  The business growth and education are worth 10 times the cost of engaging with her. Finally, don’t hesitate to work with Sara.  I do not have any reservations about recommending that you work with her.

I wanted to participate in a group of diverse and interesting people because it brings this melding of minds. So that was what I was looking for when I came to the mastermind group. That hive mind. I had previously done one to one coaching with Sara and made incredible leaps and I was ready to further my learning with Sara but in a different format! The group were from different fields and different regions in the world. I think that was really interesting to find out that knowledge and experience is very much transferable. So when we were learning things as a group, people would bring their experience of that mindset or that area. And it was always relevant,even if that person was from a different background. I was also able to bring my experience to the group too. Something specific that I learned in the course – I always thought of myself as somebody who could learn skills, but I had never perceived leadership as a set of skills, more as an inner ability that you were sort of born with, like the ability to sing. And one of the things I definitely learned is that leadership is a skillset and it’s honed over time and the learning of how to be a leader never ends. Once I realised that, I could work strategically on improving elements of that skillset. Since the mastermind, I’ve taken on some more public facing engagements and assumed more responsibility over my domain of the company. So that’s actually led to some really interesting connections here in London, and a project that we’ve started on recently called London Voice, where we’re doing actual public intervention, something that I never would have gotten near to before, as usually I’m the person behind the scenes. I’ve also got more involved in the management of the legal and finances in the company, where I realised I had an affinity to these things, and that maybe they weren’t being managed optimally. And that was causing frustration to me, and also causing disruption to the company. Plus we’re closing in on a new round of funding now. In terms of mindset shifts, it was a really different experience hearing other people’s views on them and how they’dexperienced difficult mindsets, and how they’d overcome them. And then we had Sara helping guidingus through with really good mechanisms on how to deal with it. So, things like how to manage stress or founder relations, or, the common imposter syndrome! I’ve definitely integrated some of those mechanisms into my life. And I think the group setting made that an easier process, because you could tell how these people had tried that in their lives. And you could implement that in your own life, rather than sort of having this flat, kind of cold model in front of you. The group made it a human experience You learn how it works for different people in different ways. And in real situations with evidence. Sometimes it’s the evidence that it didn’t work, but then you learn how to reframe it to make the tool more effective. I learned a lot about myself through the eyes of other people, which is something I haven’t really experienced before. And the group melded really well. So I think Sara did a really great job on finding the right people for this group. It can be a great supplement to one on one coaching with Sara.

I wanted to hire a coach to improve my communication and leadership skills. Working with Sara, I have learned more about my strengths and weaknesss in my leadership style, and got more clarity on areas for improvement needed to create a strong personal brand. For example, I learned that my highly competitive nature had created a strong sales track record and a great deal of success in my life, but my lack of self-awareness and of those around me was damaging relationships and impacting outcomes, and holding me back. Through coaching, I was able to come to grips with myself and my leadership style which needed to progress beyond the journey that got me to this point, in order to reach the next level. My past highly energetic and aggressive self-focused person was not creating trust and inspiring others cohesively and consistently. I needed to put aside my ego and find other personal drivers. Great sales people often have “Grit” that is sourced deep from their childhood. They often have something to prove. Contrastingly, I realised the power of the "collective win". Great leaders think of others winning, and moving to “we” vs just the “me.” They walk a fine balance between ultimate commitment and focus and understanding others and finding what drives them. I now believe I have what it takes to be a great leader. Changing in my communication style is a major uplift. I am listening pro-actively and understanding better. Thus, my confidence has improved. Being more aware has also enabled me to connect better with others and judge each situation with more clarity, in order to take the best course of action. And to top it off, I have been offered Board Advisory opportunities and consulting work as well. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone wanting to develop their leadership potential and become a highly effective and influential leader!

At the start of my work with Sara, I was very doubtful of my abilities as an intuitive. I was hesitating to transition my mental health therapy business more into the intuitive sphere even though that was what I wanted to do. I knew I needed Sara's intuitive coaching and tailored steps to take me beyond stuck and scared. During our first session, she intuited three clear action steps to take that were a mix of self-reflective tools as well as physical things I can do. Using intuition and her coaching expertise, she also advised me on how to improve my website and offerings. Having this structure made all the difference. Sara is a brilliant mind and intuitive and it's clear why she works with the top executives in the world. Within a little over three weeks, I've made massive progress on my levels of confidence and self-worth to a point where my clients are reporting that my sessions are "life-changing" and are sharing raving reviews with others. I've already increased the pricing on my offerings to match the amount of inner work I've completed with Sara's guidance. I've completely revamped my website and it now feels so aligned with who I am and what I have to offer, I have clarity on who my best fit clients are, and I've even started a free audio series that I was terrified to get going. The most important support I received was with the inner work that was a prerequisite to these external changes. Sara was precise, direct, yet incredibly compassionate with me as she intuitively delivered the specific harmful beliefs I was still carrying that were negatively impacting my work and business. Again, the inner work I've done thus far with Sara is being reflected in the profound shifts my clients report from our sessions and the opportunities that I'm attracting. I continue to work with Sara on a regular basis as each session opens up to deeper inner work and upgrades to my business. I have received invaluable changes from Sara's expertise and intuitive insight by taking the leap to work with her. I highly recommend her intuitive coaching for those willing and ready to challenge themselves to grow and to achieve a fulfilling and purposeful life and business. Thank you, Sara!

First and foremost I think it's the intelligence piece that made me want to work with Sara in the first place. The context and perspective that she brings to our work together is really appealing. I'm starting to see life and business and who I'm being in a different way than what I had previously. I think what's really attractive is really looking at things from a perspective of different areas of life instead of one and I think that's been really really helpful for me not to overload myself in one area and then neglect six or seven other areas in my life. So I'm becoming a lot more rounded in who I am and how I show up in the world. I've naturally been a person that has been out of balance. I'm someone that used to be all in on one thing, for example in my career, but then not so much around my family or my spirituality and really getting in touch with that and living life through those different lenses has allowed me to be a lot more calm, a lot more focused, a better listener and just happier. It reignited that passion for what I do and reassessing where I'm most valuable and being open and available to that. But I'm seeing a lot of progress in all sorts of areas of my life not just my career which was the main focus. Tangibly I think the first thing that comes to mind is probably the return on investment. So being in sales and leading a lead generation business I'm always looking to attract new clients and I think from the first four sessions we've had so far, I've probably made more than six or seven times my return easily. But it's not just about the the money for me. It's about the quality of the relationships that I'm developing, the people that I'm getting in front of and also the feedback I'm getting from those people that I didn't used to hear before. So I can tell tangibly that I am making progress and not just from sales and ROI but also my relationships. I have better relationships with my family now, better relationships with other people that I'm meeting in life and I think that's just the start of whatever's ahead in front of me. Intangible things I've noticed... Peace is definitely one. I'm not so much driven by emotions anymore. I think that was a big big learning for me and you can't really put a value on peace is what I'm learning. Peace in a world that's so busy and chaotic and people are trying to pull you one way than the other: being able to ground yourself and just come from a place of peace is invaluable for someone who has struggled a lot with internal voices and stories and noise in my head. Just being able to be calm and present and grounded when I'm with people or without people is such a joy to see and to experience. I think one thing I'd add to that as well is I feel a lot more sensible in how I'm operating my life, a lot more sensible of my finances, a lot more sensible where I put my energy into and I guess that relates back to the tangible ROI as well with the money I've made from the work we've done together. But it's such a drastic change in such a short space of time and I think if I didn't work together with Sara, I would never have experienced the things I have done lately. I think one last piece is also about your intentions and I feel like I am much more intentional with those eight areas of life rather than just one and it's creating abundance. I see this vision that I'm living into and I'm seeing the feedback loop day by day from clients, from family, from relationships, from everything. I can see it and sometimes when you invest in programs and coaching you might have a question about whether this is really going to work. Is this really going to happen? But very shortly into our program the feedback suggests to me that this is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life and I'm very, very grateful to have Sara on my side. Working with Sara: she's going to hold a space for you that's going to be private, it's going to be engaging, it's going to be fun and you're going to learn things about yourself that you might not have before. So I would recommend anyone stepping into a conversation and even more investing into the intuition sessions because your life is going to look a lot different than what it is today.
